Bird Scooters have recently contacted City staff with a proposal to bring their electric rental scooters to town. These scooters have been very popular in larger metro areas, and the company is beginning to invest in smaller communities under 15k. The scooters would be rented via an app on the phone and placed in various public locations around town. The scooters are limited to 15mph and are short-time rentals. Bird Scooters would work with a local entrepreneur they have identified to collect the scooters nightly, charge them and return them to the pickup locations each morning.
No action was taken on this item, and it will return to Council after it has been reviewed.
