How many of us walkers, drivers, residents, shoppers have come across what appears to be litter in the street or on a lawn or on the sidewalk or any public place and are offended or confused as to why it is allowed? I am talking about the proliferation of scooters that are just left anywhere.
A beautiful day in the park or even just walking out of our homes can be spoiled by the sight of what appears to be discarded garbage. It also presents a hazard to people walking.
Have we sold out to the scooter companies at the expense of our enjoyment of our public tax funded areas? Let's have scooter parking areas like we do for rental bikes. If you want to rent a scooter you should leave it in a safe area for the next renter.
