No, the cause is scooters thinking their convenience trumps the safety of pedestrians.

You’re the one trying to solve the problem by prioritizing improperly. If scooters don’t feel safe on the road, they can walk on the sidewalk. That’s a perfectly valid choice they have.

Making pedestrians unsafe isn’t an option.

I’d rather scooters be banned completely than ridden on sidewalks. They are dangerous to pedestrians and drivers.

Dude what did bike lines do to you that you can’t even understand that I’m just saying “install bike lanes and the issue gets solved?”

Ohhhhh you’re just a NIMBY about bike lanes, this all makes sense now.

No, I want bike lanes everywhere. Hell, I want plenty of streets closed to cars.

But regardless of everything else, sidewalks have to be safe for pedestrians.
