Fines coming for misplaced scooters
As of Monday, the city’s mobility squad will be able to ticket mis-parked scooters although I doubt whether those will be able to operate for more than another week or two.

When I am downtown it is rare to go more than three blocks without seeing at least one scooter blocking a sidewalk, either parked in the middle of a sidewalk or fallen down blocking it — I am regularly tempted to haul them into the street. I see slightly more green ones than black, but it is both types.

I don’t understand why people act as if they can’t just pick up the scooter and put it to the side. I’ve never seen one blocking the sidewalk, but I don’t mind moving it. I’ve done that many times before with store sandwich boards.

I like the tactic that I’ve seen a few times of picking them up off the sidewalk and moving them directly into a garbage can.

I could pick them up, but if so I’d toss them in the street to irritate people wanting to park (I also bet they get ticketed like that). Garbage cans work too. But sometimes I am not: the mood to lift them and move them, I have a bag or it is cold or raining.
Not everyone is able to bend down and pick up something weighting 40 pounds such is what Google suggests they weigh.

Jonathan, I do move them all the time. They are heavy and awkward, and I move them on behalf of people who can’t: older people, those with shopping carts or strollers, disabled people. But I shouldn’t have to be cleaning up after people’s discarded toys. Because let’s be clear, that all that these are.
