The Pueblo West Metro District approved a memorandum of understanding which could move Bird Scooters into the community in a 3-1 decision Monday night.
Public Works Director, Christian Heyn, stood before the board once again to present the opportunity for the scooters to take flight in the community, noting two of the talking points the board discussed in a previous meeting.
“There were two concerns,” Heyn said. “One of them being, would (the scooters) be allowed on the trails, and the other was where would they essentially do business?”
Heyn noted that based off the district’s research, the scooters would not be allowed on the bike trails in Pueblo West.
In Monday’s Pueblo West Metro District board meeting, Economic Development Specialist Tyler Purvis, came before the board to discuss an airport property master plan and easement.
Known as the former airport property that lays on McCulloch and Purcell Boulevards, Purvis said in a previous executive session the board had discussed the future of the property.
There was discussion in the executive session about whether to approve an easement of the property going from an overhead line, down to Parkview Medical Center to give them redundancy in their electricity, Purvis said.
“The board elected to move forward in those discussions,” Purvis added. “So, we have notified them of that, and they are going to be putting together the legal descriptions so we can properly get that done.”
