Except that's not actually the case. People with genuine mobility issues can get personal medical mobility scooters. If you actually watch who uses scooters in DC 99% are tourists not commuters and definitely not physically impaired folks.

Not good enough. DC already has that law and scooters still litter the sidewalks Scooter companies need to follow the same rules as CityBike. Have city-approved docking/charging stations that scooters must be docked in and impound any left in the street. And charge the scooter users a fine tonpay for the impound workers.

Funny how you almost never see a CityBike abandoned but Lime and Uber bikes are just discarded on the sidewalk like trash.

I'm 29. I lived literally 3 blocks away from this station since I was 7. It's kinda weird because despite alot of the area being "hood" for almost 20 years, it was relatively safe. I never felt in danger walking into that station as a kid. All shootings and robberies tended to happen in the next stop over at RFK stadium. After gentrification happened with all these trendy bars, restaurants, and condos came up, that's when crime skyrocketed in the last 5 years at the station for some odd reason
