Miami Spring Break in 2019 Will Be Scooter Free
For those of you planning on spending spring break in Miami Beach next year, there is a chance you won’t be able to rent a scooter. City commissioners recently voted to permit scooters during the Memorial Day weekend but they will be banned for spring break 2019. Originally, commissioners were also intending to ban the scooters for Memorial Day but decided otherwise after scooter rental companies raised concerns and possible legal action.
The decision to ban scooters during spring break is aimed at protecting residents of Miami Beach as well as those visiting the barrier island while also assisting with the levels of noise, which can often become quite loud as spring break is tremendously popular in Miami Beach. As for the scooters, supporters of the ban see it as a way to deal with scooter operators who often use them to weave in and out of traffic or even bike lanes, which may be dangerous.
What are your thoughts on this latest decision by Miami Beach commissioners to tackle the large spring break crowds? Is temporarily banning scooters a positive step in coming up with a solution or is there a better way the city can go about it?
