Despite concerns over limiting where they can roll, Omaha Mayor Jean Stothert signed a resolution authorizing the use of electronic scooters in several city neighborhoods and districts.In a letter to the city council, Stothert noted the information provided by the scooter company "Lime" was inconsistent with information the company previously supplied to the city. Under terms of the agreement, scooters may not operate on the Leahy Mall, in the Old Market, in Heartland of America Park, near TD Ameritrade Park, and other areas. The city believed Lime scooters would stop working if they entered these 'geo-fenced' areas. But that's not the case. At last Tuesday's city council meeting, a Lime representative said shutting-down the scooters once they crossed into these areas would be too dangerous. Instead, users could not leave the scooters in the geo-fenced areas without continuing to be billed. The Mayor said Lime was ready to implement "no-ride zones" by June 14th before the start of the College World Series. Stothert also expressed concerns about the Lime user agreement which she suspects will not be read by most riders. Scooters may not be used on sidewalks, and users must be at least 18-years-old.Stothert wants to evaluate companies supplying the electronic scooters before the city adopts a long-term agreement.David Losole, owner of Virtuoso Pizza in Benson, said he's both excited and worried for the scooters."I support growth, and some parts of town I think it's a good idea, but in Benson they've got a lot of bars. As you know and it already gets pretty crazy after dark anyway on the weekend," he said.He worries about the bars and the busy street."I think its a dangerous little experiment with this being a state highway," Losole said of Maple Street.He's afraid someone may get hurt if they try drinking and riding."You all have to play by the same kind off rules that a car does. I'm not sure that a tipsy person is going to be signaling their left turn or their stop," he said. "Then, it's you against a car." Omaha Police released a warning for riders saying you can get a ticket if you violate the rules of the road while riding.View Mayor Stothert's letter to the Omaha City Council here.
