CRPD Issues Warning About Riding Scooters Downtown
Yesterday afternoon, the
Cedar Rapids Police Department issued a warning on social media to Iowans who are taking advantage of the bike and scooter rental program in the downtown area. There seems to be a growing problem in terms of
where people are riding the bikes and scooters. The Facebook post reads:
"In the downtown and surrounding districts: bikes, scooters/sit-down scooters, and skateboards are not permitted to ride on sidewalks. Please walk your wheels in these areas for the safety of pedestrians, or enjoy riding in a bike lane. Sidewalk decals and street signage have been installed in areas where riding on the sidewalk is not permitted."
