Have seen a lot of people riding the new electric scooters around town, more often on the sidewalks than is safe. Just like with bicycles, City ordinances exclude riding scooters on sidewalks, except on those walkways designated for dual use, which, I beleive is primarily on campus. Going to look into policies for maintaining scooters. Is someone collecting them, recharging them and replacing them, as I have seen them left standing at palces on the east and west side of town? Wing offers a bounty to people that collect, recharge and replace the company scooters? Would be useful to know Veo's policies.
Others have noted this on other FB sites. This is a complete waste of money that could be better spent on food banks, cooling centers, and anything to alleviate local poverty. The City Council (or whoever is responsible) has wasted taxpayers money again. I've seen an abandoned scooter outside the Carbondale border. Those responsible should be fired.
ReplyDeleteAs far I know, Carbondale does not own the scooters. The city made it easier for Veo to put them into place and has been working with the company to bring them here for the last 2 years.
