this, the bike companies and the “scooter wranglers” will probably have to obey it. Or at least you will have grounds to complain if they leave them in the middle of the sidewalk or no-parking zone.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Some of you may have noticed, but the newly reconfigured bike lanes/parking in the 100 block of Kentucky Avenue SE has now attracted a bunch of Lime scooters parked illegally at the north end of the street, in the striped no-parking zone.
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?<o:p></o:p></p>
