Don't boot them, tow them. Booting them just has them sit there and eventually become abandoned vehicles. Total waste of a parking space. There are at least two booted vehicles that have sat for several weeks on a street I frequent.

Seems like it's already worked without enforcement

Patterson Park and the promenade around the harbor are both very popular

> it's not a question of whether or not there is cross traffic, it's that there are no consequences for breaking the rules
Poor infrastructure design leads to rulebreaking. Being forced to stop and wait at a red light while there is no cross-traffic is a failure of infrastructure design. Every ticket written for running a red light is a failure of infrastructure design. A driver wouldn't be able to run a red light if a light only turned red to permit cross-traffic.
Yes, we desperately need better enforcement of basic traffic laws in this city, but that is not what will not fix a culture of dangerous driving. Another downside is that it will increase hostile police interactions, which definitely won't help anything.

Good luck enforcing this. The companies first need to penalize, including banning, riders that ditch the scooters in inappropriate places. It'd be nice if we could get them off the roads, especially when they zoom down the wrong way at night. That might be a bridge too far, though.

That's good to know. They have clearly stopped their work, and the patch jobs they did are atrocious. Is DOT in contact with them? Have they been told their work is unacceptable? It really seems like they think they're done. Thanks for the reply, btw.

I feel like this is a pretty big caveat. Even if you aren't actively seeking out deals, it's hard to have a trip to the store where your discount card doesn't take at least 10% off your bill.

If we require them to be parked in a corral, there will be a corral set up.

Yes, BGE is required to return the road to the state that it was before their work.

The scooters don't need parking corrals, they need personal flotation devices.

The cars are going to hit you in the day too unfortunately- I don't think it matters if it's light or dark when you drive around looking at your cell phone instead of the road. Key is be defensive and assume any car is going to kill you

Down to 60 or even 50 depending on wind, I just wear shorts and a long sleeve top. Below 55 to 50; I wear a neoprene ear band, light-midweight running pants (tapered pants, not tights), mesh underwear, silkweight thermal base top, midweight half-zip top, then an outer layer per weather conditions- wind/water resistant if needed. Once it's in the high 30's I add smartwool liner gloves, and a full lightweight beanie. That's my setup down to about 20 degrees; below 20 I add a balaclava. Below 15 I add silkweight leggings under my pants, heavier crew length socks, and warmer underwear. Below 10 I stop running because my feet start getting too cold (never happens in Baltimore). No magic time in the morning- cars are going to hit you in the middle of the day too- be defensive. I usually run at night, but sometimes early AM (6AM)

I wear a buff partially for this reason. Pull it up if things get too bad.

Running leggings, shorts over top. Long sleeve compression shirt, T-shirt over top. Light gloves. Head-band that goes over the ears if it's particularly cold.
Some combo of that would work depending on the temp and your own tolerance to the cold.
I know that I get warm quickly when I run, so if it's over 40ish degrees, I'll skip a lot of the extra gear.

This absolutely. This comparison uses standard markers of inflation, which are heavily lobbied categories and mostly either processed foods or animal products - ground beef, milk, eggs, butter, etc. My household shops extensively at Hmart or Lotte because A. we cook food from my ethnic background which those grocers specialize in and B. we eat a lot of fresh produce to do so, which we find is cheapest and highest quality at Hmart or Lotte. Folks shopping for groceries at Hmart probably aren't in need of a pound of butter. They're also probably not looking to prioritize a $2.50 can of green beans, when they're fresh for $1.79/lb. I appreciate the authors of the story including Hmart but they sort of bungled the comparison.
Frustrating also that the closest thing to a veggie in the standard inflation markers is a can of green beans. There's like 5 grams of fiber in that entire list, combined. "Items that most people buy" is a pretty sad picture.

Perception isn’t always reality. I’d be curious to see the stats. Though, two things can be true. Multiple task.

Re: earliest, I could strongly encourage you not to go running before the sun is out. Drivers are awful around here and running in darkness just adds to the danger.

Patterson park you could just park on the street anywhere around it, there's probably plenty of spaces.
I'm not sure about the Harbor, I just run there from my house. Adds probably ~7 minutes and serves as a nice cooldown on the way back.
