[Colorado-Talk] There’s Something About Scooters

[Gary Van Dorn]

Slate published the article "There’s Something About Scooters <https://slate.com/technology/2020/04/dockless-scooters-cities-safer-better.html>” on 27 April 2020.  Reading the article is making me think of the resolution we overwhelmingly passed at our National Convention last year.  This article is advocating for more scooters and infrastructure.  I would like to know your opinion.  What experiences do we have as blind people with bike lanes?  Do you continue encountering the pesky scooters in locations that make it difficult to travel safely?  What other thoughts do you have on this issue?

Chapter and Division Presidents, could you include this issue on your upcoming agendas if time permits?  The NFBCO, in conjunction with the NFB, must ensure any improvements to infrastructure include the blind.
