looks at how many accidents have occurred on the bike path by vehicles
other than scooters in the same time; what was done about pedestrians who
walk on the beach path when they weren’t supposed to; are the incidents

what would be required to do a speed study and reduce the speed limit on

DEVICE PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY USE FEE” establishing a Shared
Mobility Use of Public Right of Way fee (Attachment A).
Questions asked and answered of staff included: the fees would mostly be
used for building the mobility infrastructure, are there thoughts about using
the fees towards something other building out the infrastructure; before the

infrastructure and/or enforcement; and, how will this fees be collected.
Considerable discussion ensued on topics including, but not limited to:
these types of mobility cause an additional burden on the public access;
adding a fee per use can help go towards educating and promoting safety;
the fee is being lobbied at the wrong modality, and that cars should be fined
instead of these new types of mobility; look at a longer term commitment
to finding a better solution and find a better way to price things in order to
better manage the city streets, sidewalks, etc; making sure that scooters are
available in all neighborhoods; and, why not a dollar instead of 98 cents per
use.
