City of Ann Arbor PLUS

scooter fails to meet usage standards set by AA or U of M. interestingly, electric scooters (as well as any motorized vehicle) are not authorized to even be operated on the sidewalks according to a regent ordinance. this means this scooter violated a local ordinance to even get here. for someone to ride it away, the ordinance would be violated again. Also, it was parked poorly. I have no idea why people dump these close to building exits.

Scooter stuck in the dam. Preventing the dam from closing

Bird scooter (broken) in front of Katasara Tree on 3307 Springbrook.

electric scooter obstructing the public right of way. if someone did this with a moped, car, or bike, they would have a ticket or be towed. why does the spin scooter company get exempt from tickets, towing, or any regulation?

this is egregious. it's dark, slick, and icy tonight. who is going to see this while walking or biking? Do your job and fix the mess you made when you accepted money to reverse your stance on the dangers of electric scooters. Does anyone else from ann arbor remember how much the local government hated the bird company? it is because the bird company was not paying them off. so many laws broken with these scooters. so many ordinances ignored. so many broken promises. all for money.

perpendicular in a sidewalk adjacent to a fire exit. this fire exit is already restricted due to construction so the further obstruction by scooters poses a real danger

the spin scooter company was kind enough to recognize the public's right to clear sidewalks with the other 2 scooters in the photo. that means they clearly know better than to obstruct the sidewalk with the other scooter but allowed it anyways. if Ann Arbor residents did this with their bikes or cars, we know for a fact that WE would be ticketed. why does the spin scooter company get to do this? is it because the city gets a paycheck from them? if so, how much do Ann Arbor residents need to pay to fall into the good graces of the AA code enforcement and city council?

points for parking NEAR a bike rack. Many many negative points for obstructing another fire exit. 3 exits to the one building are all blocked at once by scooters. people work in this building. it has to comply with OSHA. Ann Arbor is not enforcing these scooters because they get a check from the spin scooter company.

electric scooters in front of building exits make it harder for people to leave the building in an emergency. If there is an active shooter in this building and people run out, they will trip on a scooter. similarly it is a fire/panic risk. why are we doing this to ourselves?

Spin scooter disrupting path of egress for this building. OSHA violation. people work in this building. having these here is dangerous for the hardworking people of AA just trying to do their jobs.

I almost crashed my bike into this scooter's wheel. I was not expecting scooters to be randomly parked on bridges. the city of Ann Arbor must impound these scooters despite recieving a check from the Spin scooter company ("big scooter" as I've taken to calling it) please AA city officials help out the people who commute by biking. biking is so much better for the planet than these polluting scooters.
