[ 1 } was the model I wanted, had what I needed & good muffler so it isn't loud <br /> [3] more reliable than electric <br /> <br />WHY ELECTRIC OVER GAS? <br /> [10] non-polluting <br /> [2] easy to charge overnight, no going to gas station <br /> [2] good transportation and its fun <br /> [1] saves me 3,000 miles on my car in a year <br /> [5] no parking hassles, no fees and fines, no insurance or registration = <br /> affordable <br /> <br /> 8. If the City Council were to ban scooters from paths, what kind of problems <br /> would that create for your scooter trips? <br /> <br /> · I couldn't use my scooter to go to work because there aren't alternative routes <br /> available within the law. (speed limit restrictions and paths) <br /> · I would still use, I'd take the ticket over risking my safety by sticking totally to <br /> streets. <br /> · We have to have access to the path because otherwise safety is a huge issue and I <br /> can't get where I need to go. <br /> · No problem because I'll still ride where I need to, it isn't fair to eliminate my <br /> choice of transportation. <br /> · This would cause a lot of trouble for a lot of people. You just can't get <br /> everywhere, even if you walk part of the time - especially areas by West 11th and <br /> Ferry St. bridge/Coburg Rd. <br /> · Banning them would cause me to have to choose to break rules or not ride at all. <br /> I don't have a car. <br /> · My street Scooter is the only vehicle I own and I use with a trailer to haul my <br /> instruments because I'm a musician. Without scooter on paths I can't get to <br /> 'gig' s, get my groceries, etc. <br /> · I can't commute to work ifI can't use the Ferry St. bridge. <br /> <br /> 9. What suggestions do you have for the City Council for dealing with the concern <br /> that motor assisted scooters aren't desired by some on paths? <br /> <br /> · Regulate the bicycles that don't follow rules. We need respect and give and take, <br /> and scooter users should have rights too. <br /> · Bikes don't follow rules, shouldn't laws work for everyone? <br /> · Increase the engine size <br /> · Noise is one of the biggest issues, not the scooter. Let's work on the noise <br /> problems instead of just eliminating scooters. Everyone complains about leaf <br /> blowers but you didn't ban them. <br /> · Set a standard for noise and deal with this through that approach. <br /> · We already have a noise ordinance. ENFORCE IT! <br /> · Require mufflers on gas scooters <br /> <br /> <br />
