A
With
us
today,
our
board
chair,
Christian
Dorsey,
as
well
as
board
member
Eric
Cutshaw,
and
what
we've
been
talking
about
these
scooters
for
owns,
but
the
regulations
have
now
come
in
throughout
this
whole
process.
What
would
you
say
is
the
most
surprising
thing
that
came
out
of
the
whole
study
and
then,
when
the
regulations
were
put
into
place
here,
that's.
B
A
great
question:
three
surprising
things
for
me,
one
I
kind
of
had
you
know:
I
thought
it
was
a
better
than
50%
chance
when
we
began
this
pilot
that,
by
the
end
of
the
pilot,
this
would
no
longer
be
a
viable
business
model
so
that
it
is
that's
a
surprise
but
to
I
think
the
way
in
which
people
are
using
them
has
also
been
a
surprise.
Our
data
collected
during
a
pilot
has
revealed
that
these
are
replacing
largely
vehicle
to
car
trips,
so
people
are
using
them
not
to
substitute
for
public
transit.
B
If,
in
fact,
the
counties
don't
act
in
certain
regulatory
areas
by
the
end
of
the
calendar
year,
so
that
that's
a
really
important
message
that
never
really
penetrated
you
know
a
lot
of
people
in
our
community
besieged
us
to
ban
them,
and
it
was
tough
to
break
through
that.
No,
we
can't
do
that.
We
have
to
figure
out
how
it
works.
B
A
One
thing
I
thought
that
was
interesting
is
there
have
been
a
lot
of
controversy
back
and
forth
over
whether
or
not
these
scooters
should
be
allowed
on
sidewalks
and
whether
they
were
allowed
to
or
not
people
were
writing
them
on
site
yeah.
So
the
idea
of
speed
restrictions
now
on
the
sidewalk
tell
me
a
little
bit
about
that.
Yeah.
B
Sure
so
you
know
to
say
quickly
and
Eric
you
jump
you
jump
in
here.
You
know
the
sidewalk
thing
was
something
that
was
very
difficult
because
during
the
pilot,
we
actually
had
a
statutory
ban
on
having
the
scooters
ride
on
the
sidewalks,
but
what
we
found
was
without
any
adequate
enforcement
mechanism.
That
was
something
that
was
clearly
floated
frequently
and
we
were
powerless
to
to
stop
it
without
devoting
significant
resources
to
enforcement
of
scooters,
which
would
bring
up
its
own
host
of
concerns.
B
C
Definitely
a
delicate
balancing
act.
We
heard
at
the
public
hearing
a
lot
of
testimony
from
disabled
members
of
the
community
who
are
worried
from
seniors.
We
had
a
letter
from
our
Commission
on
Aging
that
was
worried
about
you
know
when
someone
who's
older
and
maybe
a
little
bit
more
frail
gets
if
they
were
to
be
bumped
into
by
wanted
somebody
on
these
scooters,
but
especially
moving
at
a
high
rate
of
speed.
You
know
you
or
I
we
might
get
knocked
over.
C
What
this
whole
conversation,
we
had
a
great
conversation
among
among
board
members
where
it's
it's
just.
We
are
in
a
moment
in
time
right
now
where
this
is
still
relatively
new,
but
we
are
really
looking
down
the
road
where
we
headed
that
culture
of
compliance.
The
idea
of
that
there's
going
to
be
multiple
modes
of
travel
and
by
the
way,
these
regulations
we
talk
about
scooters
and
East
Cooter's
is
certainly
the
most
visible,
but
this
also
applies
to
e-bikes
and
actually
we,
it
made
sense
to
consolidate
this
with
our
existing
bicycle
right.
C
Traditional,
you
know,
pedal
powered
bicycle
regulations,
and
so
we've
consolidated
to
sort
of
future-proof
this.
If
you
or
future-ready
it
where,
as
we
move
forward
and
perhaps
other
sorts
of
technologies
come
online,
that
we
have
a
model
here
that
says
we
want
to
be
able
to
for
people
to
get
around,
but
we
want
them
to
do
so
safely.
We
want
to
respect
each
other.
The
golden
rule
is
if
you're
moving
faster
than
somebody
else.
C
A
C
Is
part
of
the
the
etiquette
right?
It's
not
appropriate,
and
this
was
a
very
compelling
testimony
from
a
few
disabled
members.
Members
of
our
disability,
Advisory
Commission,
who
who
very
eloquent,
spoke
to
the
fact
that
when
we
see
scooters
just
laying
across
the
sidewalk,
if
you're
in
a
wheelchair
you
it's
not
as
easy
to
just
go
around
number
over
them
or
do
whatever,
and
so
it's
just
not
appropriate.
And
so
we
have
laid
out
very
clear
guidelines
on
where
they
can
be
either.
In
Corral's,
our
our
Department
of
Transportation
staff
are
working
on.
C
B
That's
really
the
thing
that
most
of
us
deal
with
and
while
I
think
it's
great,
that
we
have
an
ability
to
ticket
and
find
and
then
ultimately
penalize
the
vendors.
If
this
happens
repeatedly,
I
just
like
to
make
a
personal
plea:
if
someone
encounters
a
scooter,
that's
that's
obstructing
the
right-of-way
that
could
cause
a
hazard
for
someone
who
is
low
vision,
mobility,
impaired
or
whatever.
