Micromobility (bikeshare, scootershare)

[danbrotherston]

The Region and Cities are developing a new implementation plan for bike share, e-scooters/scooter share, etc. 

We thought it might make sense to bring the topics together here in this thread.

First post:

Where should people be allowed to ride e-scooters in Waterloo Region?

The Region of Waterloo and the Cities of Cambridge, Kitchener, and Waterloo want your input on where people should be allowed to ride an e-scooter in our community. Your responses will help inform staff reports to City and Regional Councils on if and where personally-owned e-scooters can be ridden in Waterloo Region, Staff will also consider requirements for e-scooter rental companies (scooter-share) that wish to operate locally. Visit the project page to learn more and provide your input.

Thanks for posting the survey.

I am curious, do you have any insight into why region staff are recommending legislating these differently than bicycles. To me, this seems like an entirely pointless and bizarre decision.
