Electric Scooters and Personal Mobility Devices Ordinance

Summary

The city attorney is drafting clearer rules for e-scooters, e-bikes, and similar devices, which current ordinances haven't kept up with. Until then, existing rules apply downtown (no devices on sidewalks) and police can still enforce traffic laws against reckless riders.
