I find the many scooters all over to be a visual and physical affront to my sensibilities. They lie on the street and sidewalks, on the grassy areas and in front of residences and businesses. They obstruct walkers and I think they should not be allowed in Alexandria.
Someone will trip and be hurt. They are hard to avoid. If the government sees fit to approve them permanently they should only be allowed to be left in bike-type racks. Electric motors are still motors and if they power a vehicle they should be subject to the legal, safety and parking laws that apply to other types of motor vehicles.
Parking laws and trash in the street type laws must and should be enforced. Why are the laws not passed, implemented and enforced? Nuisances detract from our lifestyles and our enjoyment of Alexandria's many pleasures.
