Description
Resubmitted from mobile case BCS-00260173: I am writing to express a serious safety concern regarding people riding scooters at high speeds on the sidewalk in front of our restaurant. As a restaurant with an outdoor patio, we have customers dining just a few feet from the sidewalk, including families with young children. On a regular basis, individuals ride scooters very quickly through this area, creating a dangerous situation for both our guests and pedestrians. We have personally spoken to several riders and politely asked them to slow down or use the street where appropriate. Unfortunately, despite these conversations, the issue continues. We are concerned that it is only a matter of time before someone is injured. We would appreciate it if the City could look into possible solutions, such as increased enforcement, additional signage, or any other measures that would help improve safety in this area. |
