Sidewalks: Scooters and pedestrians don’t mix
I’m not sure what part of the word “sidewalk” is unclear. It is not side-cycle or side-scooter!
My wife and I used to enjoy walking our dog along Ruston Way. Now that there has been an invasion of scooters, the sidewalk has become a race course for motorized vehicles often operated by people who have no consideration for those of us who are walking - especially with pets.
It is no longer safe to walk there, so we are paying taxes to maintain a beautiful park that we cannot use.
Other places around the world figured out long ago to have separate paths for pedestrians and cyclists. It is time we did the same.
