I don't think they are owned by the city

I agree that these scooters are dangerous and will cause serious injury soon. The city needs to start regulating them.

I agree that these cars are dangerous and will cause many more deaths, continue to be the #1 killer of children and leave thousands maimed soon. The city needs to start regulating them.

To clarify, these are not "city owned scooters". Closing issue.

The City is responsible for enforcing the codes and you're turning a blind-eye to the problem. We're going to re-open, and you're going to do your job.

Good luck finding an ordinance applicablr to these scooters.

12-1022 and 12-1024

It's easy, tell them to go! Oh what? The city of Raleigh is making money for every time someone pays for a scooter ride? Maybe they should rethink the deal, because Bird does not care, they make $ every time someone starts up a scooter. CANCEL the BIRD SCOOTERS!

Car companies do not care that hospitals are filled with people injured by cars. CANCEL the CARS!

Riding a motor vehicle, including a BIRD scooter, on a sidewalk is a violation of city code Sec 12-1030. If you observe one, please call RPD. The rider(s) should then be duly ticketed. If a rider damages property or injures a person, call 911. I believe you are also within your rights to REASONABLY detain that person until police arrive. If BIRD is also at fault in this instance would be the subject of civil tort law. See “lawn darts.” It’s all fun and games until someone loses an eye.

There have been many comments entered on SeeClickFix Raleigh regarding the Bird electric scooters which appeared in Raleigh in mid-July. To clear up any confusion, here are some facts about the current situation:

1. The City of Raleigh has not endorsed Bird Scooters, nor does the City have any business relationship with Bird.

2. Bird has not obtained any license, permit, nor operating agreement from the City of Raleigh.

3. The City of Raleigh is quickly preparing new regulations crafted to better fit this new transportation option. These regulations will address the use of the scooters, including how and where they are parked, and any permissions to operate in Raleigh’s rights of way.

There are not enough resources for the city to properly re-place or pick up abandoned scooters, nor should the taxpayers of Raleigh have to bear the cost of any poor conduct by Bird and their employees, and some of their customers. Like many things with local government, there are contrasting viewpoints on this topic, so your city government is requesting everyone's patience as we work through various issues. In the meantime, you can contact Bird directly at City@bird.co.

Thank you for your patience.
