Good riddance. The scooters were a nuisance in the way that even the bike shares are not. I'm not sure what it is about the form factor, but the scooters were significantly more likely to have been parked laying down in the middle of the sidewalk, preventing anyone with mobility issues to squeeze through or not be able to move through. And they were much more commonly ridden on the sidewalk. Being motorized, they were often getting up to speeds equivalent of bicycles and they were quite heavy as well. I know a lot has been made about the turnout, but the vote was advertised very heavily. I couldn't go anywhere for a few weeks without seeing posters for it. Maybe those in favor didn't vote, but they had the chance and the heads up. (It's also possible that it was heavily tourists using them, but I can't be too upset about residents deciding what they want for their city.)
