Among proposed changes, the city would retreat from a rule that forces companies to install speed-throttling technology that slows scooters to 3 mph on sidewalks.

Bird is the last of four operators to stop operating in the city. Under a city proposal intended to lure them back, a controversial sidewalk speed-throttling rule could be softened.
