Scooters blocking the sidewalks, often near restaurant tables that already narrow the available space, is also a frequent problem along West Ponce. Does the city have a policy on placement of these scooters?
I know there are guidelines for restaurant use of sidewalks, for placement of newspaper boxes, and we have designated parking spaces for car-sharing vehicles and larger scooters/motorcycles. The city does charge drivers for street parking and a group of these scooters often takes up as much space as a car. Some cities require permits and charge the vendors for their use of the public space.
The City is actively working with Georgia Municipal Association and other municipalities to determine appropriate measures regarding dock-less scooters. Alternative transportation modes are encouraged in the City of Decatur, however scooters that create a physical obstruction to pedestrian traffic are subject to being removed by City staff.
