Downright dangerous on sidewalks. Bad enough these riders are not wearing helmets and sustaining head injuries: ‘doing it to themselves’.
But worse that city council is opening the door for riders to mow down other people by illegally riding on busy sidewalks like Whyte Avenue, for instance. There will be court cases and lawsuits eventually to say nothing of unnecessary soaring health care expenses paid by taxpayers.
And, already, deserted scooters are being left hither and yon to spoil the physical appearance of our declining city. If the mayor and city council were smart, they’d outlaw the e-scooters before someone gets killed by selfish, careless riders.
*If anyone dies, it’ll be mainly on Don and council’s heads for willy-nilly licensing over common sense and public safety.
