E-Scooters Have Divided Suburban Queens
Briefly

Michael Colson, a foot-patrol employee for Lime, shared that while he moves scooters in Jamaica, Queens, he also listens to residents' strong feelings about them.
Councilmember Sandra Ung has received numerous calls about 'dangerous operators' and has attempted to ban scooters in parts of Flushing due to safety concerns.
Resident complaints about scooters are overwhelming, with issues like children riding recklessly, causing pedestrians to be extra careful, highlighting safety fears in the community.
Despite the loud complaints, some residents argue that concerns about scooters being an 'infestation' or harbingers of doom are exaggerated.
