Bill, I believe I saw something about Council discussing whether to allow a company to rent scooters in downtown Morgantown. I just returned from Austin Texas where these things were being used a lot. The Univ. of Texas campus is very near downtown like our main campus is here. Folks of all ages were using them, but mostly students. They were being used on sidewalks as well although I am not sure I would recommend it as the students were not always respectful of pedestrians.
Interesting idea however. Cheap, quiet and quick,and takes up little parking area. You might check with the City of Austin and see how they transitioned to their use before moving on this request. Jim Craig
