If they bother you just pick it up and throw it in a dumpster since it is abandoned on the curb.

Anonymous personas should be banned. Not brave enough to show their real name or face... to be ignored only.

No problem for an electric wheelchair. I've done it.

We are not currently processing complaints related to scooters via SeeClickFix. See this page for info: https://seeclickfix.com/organization_notices/iWgnNbcc7MYGXNQ7rwY795X9

I through one away just last night.

Maybe we need to attend a City Council meeting? How can they ignore their constituents?

If the city is no longer processing complaints related to unregulated commercial scooters (and their corporate sponsor, their contractors, and their customers) behaving badly via SeeClickFix, then how, if at all, is it processing reasonable and legitimate complaints of violation of city ordinance when there is a clear and present danger to the public? Should we call 911? The non-emergency police lines? The County Sheriff? The SBI? This merits a response from the city, other than “Call BIRD” or “We’ll get back to you...”. Or is the City saying it won’t enforce key parts of the currently established city code, and it is just up to the citizens to apply their own interpretation of Common Law? Please explain...

This morning my neighborhood was happily free of “BIRD Nest” obstructions to the right of way, and my family was, for the first time in weeks, able to get to school without once having our path blocked and personal safety endangered thanks to this discourteous company and some of its bad acting stealth contractors. We will see after the storm if these things sprout back like mushrooms in the right of way, or if they behave in a more civilized manner.

Captain Common Sense (Registered User) "I through (sic) one away just last night." needs to be IDed to the RPD for prosecution for destruction of private property.

We are not currently going away. We will continue to post here and complain to the city until criminal startups are held responsible for abusing our city! The laws are made for a reason.

The link above is no longer working; here is what we can say about Bird scooters:

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.

If you blinked, you might have missed them.

The frequently debated scooters that began popping up around Chapel Hill and the UNC campus Thursday were rounded up over the weekend. Now, they’re gone.

Chapel Hill got rid of the scooters almost immediately. City Council needs to talk to the California company and get them to remove the scooters, then make a plan!

"Bird, the California company that owns the scooters, agreed to “voluntarily remove its scooters from UNC-Chapel Hill while the university explores the possibility of a partnership with the company,” according to a statement from the university.

An agreement could be in place by the end of September, but public safety and “financial considerations” would be part of that discussion.

Thanks Meredith - and all - as mentioned in the note, this is a complicated issue and the City will review options for regulating these scooters in the near future. In the meantime, we cannot process such complaints via SeeClickFix.

Are "there ... not enough resources for (RPD) to properly" investigate criminal activity, too? Captain Common Sense (Registered User) "I through (sic) one away just last night."

No. You are responsible for this. STOP AVOIDING YOUR CITIZENS AND UPHOLD THE LAW

Enforce the law

Personally I am not asking the City to go around and pick up the scooters. I am telling the City of Raleigh(COR) that they can make Bird scooters come get the scooters NOW and if the COR develops a decent plan then the scooters can come back with regulations. Many others cities have done this.

I'm asking RPD to do something about this guy... Captain Common Sense (Registered User) "I through (sic) one away just last night."

Yes they need to ban them first THEN make a law. The BIRD scooter company does not get to violate our laws and then get a free ride....

Lets hope the hurricane blew them all back to California where they belong #LandOfFruitsAndNuts

I was just downtown, the scooters are back.

Still ignoring law abiding citizens in favor or businesses conducting illegal activity in our city! #Shame #Bias

I emailed every City Council person and the Mayor. The only one who responded was Stef Mendell and her response was we thought out.

Pocketing all that cash from Bird and Lime!

#RemoveBIRD

DoNothingNancy and Guysmith001 need to get a life and stop wasting other people's time.

Meesh needs to man up and use a real name and photo and stop hiding behind a fake profile... But of course they are not brave enough for that!! #Phony #Troll

Meesh did you ever hear back from RPD about that guy? Thought so, full of boloney. #Fake

RPD should ID Meesh since he is admitting to running over and destroying property.

I'm not the one who'd be hearing from RPD.

Meesh admits above he is destroying property. He needs to be spoken to by RPD.

This is becoming a clown fest.

Let's reopen this since Meesh has been so adamant about this.

Reopening because Meesh is a troll

.

Meesh, I saw you said above you've run over these scooters to destroy them? That's shameful.

Reopening so the city can do something. Meesh is reported! #Troll #ClownShow

I'm curious why other towns and cities were able to put into place rules and regulations, many beach cities along the OBX have banned the scooters. Why was Raleigh, which is supposed to be so progressive and advanced, so behind and unprepared? What the heck are our city council members not doing?

.

Kids are playing on these scooters when they get out of school in Cameron Village and no one is doing anything about it! Someone's going to die on these things. They are so dangerous!

I agree. Last night at 8pm I came right up on 3 people riding these in the middle of the street. They have no lights or reflectors. It is only a matter of time, just like a person died in DC last week riding one.

Let's ban cars if you really want to do something.
