I can't wait until the city wakes up, bans them, and starts handing out tickets to people riding them in the park, on sidewalks, and on the beltline.



What about the people who find scooters helpful for getting around? And why is it a problem in the parks? Do you have a better solution for reducing car traffic? Or the last mile problem?


That's a really lazy and self-centered solution to something that helps a lot of people get around. Would you like us to take this position about cars?


Oh, point acknowledged here, but I don't care. The city seems pretty uninterested in keeping them off off the sidewalk and private property. I am not interested in being diplomatic now since the city can't decide on anything and we have had to clean them off our property and sidewalk time after time. I also have property in other cities and this is not an issue in the metropolitan resident rich areas. Atlanta leaders seem particularly helpless, careless, or just inept to do the needful here.

I am tired of the litter on our property and sidewalks in our part of town where people pay a premium to not have to deal with this sort of thing. If you don't live in Midtown, you don't have a right to complain. If you rent, you don't have grounds to complain. I do, so I can complain and I will.
