[Lincolnparkdc] What to do about scooters?

Wed Sep 8 07:42:02 EDT 2021

I can’t do anything about individual scooter companies placing their scooters in obviously illegal spaces at the end of our block. But I also don’t think it’s as bad as neighbors parking their giant SUVs in the same spot as if it was their private parking space, completely blocking sight lines and often, the actual crosswalk. At least the scooters are off the sidewalk, which everyone also complains about and if it’s the Vespa type thing it’s not taking up a legal spot that someone else can use.

We tried submitting a request for parking enforcement, but got a response that we needed to "take it up with the mayor's office" because they apparently will not cite Lime for illegal parking.  Whatever your views of the new configuration, it seems pretty obvious that any safety benefits are nullified if the no-parking zone at the corner, intended to improve driver sight lines, is full of vehicles.  Any idea how to fix this, before it becomes a recurring problem?
