I was walking my dog down Santa Monica Blvd in West Hollywood when I was almost clipped by an idiot riding on the sidewalk while snap chatting. He was perfectly silent and was behind me, so I had no idea he was coming. He could've killed my dog and I would've been in prison for killing him immediately after. Since then I've come to hate scooters with a passion.

A 3 month period of the police targeting this property crime would be awesome.

I would rather see the police spend 3 months ticketing everyone for littering. They are leaving shit on the sidewalks with no licences to do so.

I would also like to see them ticketing the riders for reckless driving/endangering of the people. I almost had an accident 2 weeks ago because some stupid riders decided to race on the street. I also see some of them riding in the sidewalks zipping through pedestrians and many times hitting their bags.

Agreed. That part bugs me. Cities are effectively subsidizing sidewalk space for these scooters that we paid for with tax revenue (and continue to pay to maintain). Most business that want to capture a parking spot need to pay for that privilege, and scooter companies should have to pay for that as well.

And you’ll see that most scooter riders on sidewalks are going max speed. It has made walking in cities with these things a lot more annoying, and it was already bad enough with cars but at least cars are separated from walkers.
