Description
Electric scooters and e-bikes constantly on sidewalks around the market Street guest Street area. There needs to be some sort of enforcement along this stretch of market Street and guest Street because almost every other day I almost get hit by some inconsiderate person flying around the corner of WGBH on an electric scooter riding aggressively through pedestrians. Something needs to be done about this before a person or child is hit and seriously injured. There needs to be some sort of enforcement for scooters on the sidewalk before someone gets killed. This is a serious issue,, the amount of scooters and bikes on the sidewalk when there is a bike lane in the street is disturbing. The city needs to do some sort of traffic enforcement in this area ASAP, especially now that there's a concert venue and a lot of foot traffic on guest Street. These are grown adults riding scooters with no helmets on going 20 to 30 mph down crowded sidewalks, and there is zero enforcement, zero police presence, the city just does not care about pedestrian safety. Is it going to take someone getting killed or seriously injured before the city actually enforces the law? Electric bikes electric scooters and just bicycles in general have no place on a pedestrian sidewalk, those people do not carry insurance and are putting people at risk every single day. Please do something to actually enforce the law and get these dangerous scooters off our sidewalks. | Case (SR) Type: [BPD: Traffic/Parking] Referred To: [POLICE: AREA D-14]
