Dude what did bike lines do to you that you can’t even understand that I’m just saying “install bike lanes and the issue gets solved?”

> I’d rather scooters be banned completely than ridden on sidewalks. They are dangerous to pedestrians and drivers.

Ohhhhh you’re just a NIMBY about bike lanes, this all makes sense now.

Right! Forget all the corruption and the shitty roads and the massive heroin problem and the economic disparity and the lack of quality public transportation and on and on and on. It’s the people running the red lights that are the REAL problem. And the solution? Expand the surveillance presence 100 fold! We need every Baltimore citizen’s every move to be recorded at all times from every angle. /s

No, the cause is scooters thinking their convenience trumps the safety of pedestrians.

You’re the one trying to solve the problem by prioritizing improperly. If scooters don’t feel safe on the road, they can walk on the sidewalk. That’s a perfectly valid choice they have.

Making pedestrians unsafe isn’t an option.

I’d rather scooters be banned completely than ridden on sidewalks. They are dangerous to pedestrians and drivers.

We recently went to Kong Pocha and thought it was awesome

Jong Kak and Kong are literally right next to each other on 20th, so you could get a bit at one then go straight to the other if you're feeling extra hungry

BeOne, Kong, Jong kak, the Crown

It can't be said enough - Jong Kak is by far the best Korean BBQ. They bring a ton of sides (banchan) and use charcoal. It makes all the difference in the world, IMO. Regular Korean BBQ is... sad.

You’re really not understanding me. Here’s the sequence causing this issue:

• People want to bike or scooter.
• People try on the streets.
• The streets don’t have proper bike infrastructure, people feel unsafe.
• People bike/scoot on the sidewalks where they feel safer.
• Pedestrians feel unsafe on the sidewalks.

You’re trying to solve the problem allllll the way down at step 5 and only for the pedestrians, when that doesn’t address what caused that to happen: the issue of bikers/scooter…ers feeling unsafe on the roads. The lack of proper bike infrastructure is the cause. The effect of not building it while banning them from sidewalks is people will just completely stop biking/scooting at all.

Tell me when u start minding your business and stop crying over petty shit

I think DOT has a good potential solution, if you look at the video they linked. GPS that detects sidewalk vs street walking, notifies the rider and nearby pedestrians audibly, and I didn’t see this but hopefully shuts them down if continually ridden on sidewalks.

I’m not saying they’re right or wrong, I’m explaining why it’s happening and what the solution is.

Riders feeling safe is not an excuse to make pedestrians unsafe. Yes, improved infrastructure would help this, but even with that there would be dickheads who want to ride on sidewalks. I've seen people ride down thames st in front of the restaurants, as if that is safe or necessary when the promenade is on the other side of the street.

The charts show the amount of vehicles parked at Cross Street Market (corral or not) decreasing by 24% after the implementation of the pilot program. What do you attribute that to? Ridership in general being lower for the latter period or has there also been an increase of vehicles parked in other nearby zones during that period (and thus, presumably, people parking farther and walking)?

that

More infrastructure wouldn’t just be nice but it is the thing to solve the problem. Riders feel far safer riding on the sidewalks than they do on the streets in the city - if they felt safe on the streets, they’d be riding on them instead. Bike infrastructure is the only way to actually change it for the better.

> Please just don't go with the DC route, where you have to lock them up to specified areas, it's incredibly dumb.

The title of the post literally says they’re testing out no parking zones.

I didn't get that from their comments. to what are you referring? it seemed like they were complaining about parked scooters being seen as an ADA problem while ignoring the many other problems with sidewalk accessibility.

Oh cool thank you.

Tell that to the cop I walked past with a fat blunt in my mouth. Nobody cares. It's over. Prohibition is dead.

Calendars must be too difficult for you to understand.

Loved that place

2010s, dancing every Thursday night with Dancin' Dave and the Bayside Big Band. Our 10th Anniversary party was there. So sad when they closed.

I like the idea, but that specific corral is hard to use because of the chain across the road. You have to ride up on the sidewalk and (going east) dismount to lift your bike or scooter up to the sidewalk. Not a complaint about the corral but the poor way the street was blocked off. Bollards would be better.

Asphalt plants have probably shut down for the season (can't lay asphalt when it's too cold), so you might be waiting until spring at this point.
