DISCARDED DOCKLESS SCOOTERS BLOCK SIDEWALKS, CURB RAMPS AND SAFE MOBILITY FOR WHEELCHAIR USERS

THE CITY OF MIAMI DOES NOTHING TO ADDRESS THIS CRISIS

The war on people with disabilities is alive and well in Miami — the adopted hometown I love that never loves me back.

Discarded dockless scooters block sidewalks, curb ramps and safe mobility for wheelchair users.

But the City of Miami and its Downtown Development Authority does nothing to address this crisis.

Dockless scooters and bikes endangering people with disabilities is the rule, not the only exception in Miami.

A lack of leadership and regulation means wheelchair users are blocked from access to work, home and urban mobility.

 There are dozens of ways of keeping dockless scooters from blocking and injuring people with disabilities, but Miami does nothing and enforces never.

Simple solutions:

*Create 1 scooter corral per block.

*Block users that dump them in dangerous spots.

*Confiscate scooters blocking access.

*Fine companies

City of Miami to people with disabilities: Drop Dead.

Lack of leadership and competency say it all.

When your city allows scooters and bikes to block curb ramps, sidewalks and bus stops — it is telling you it favors the profits of companies over your life, safety and dignity.

Sadly in Miami, where our leaders favor profit over people 100% of the time, these devices injure, endanger and block people with disabilities daily.
