Motorized scooters like those in downtown Kansas City are back on the drawing board in Overland Park after a two-year hiatus. A city council committee Wednesday agreed that the city should pursue a pilot project for a scooter share program that could start as early as this summer. The committee asked city staff to move forward with the details after a brief discussion Wednesday night. The Overland Park City Council last talked about scooters in February 2019. At that time, shared public bicycles were the main focus, but scooters were a part of the discussion as well. Scooters subsequently became popular in Kansas City, Mo. for a time, but they never found their way to Overland Park due to some retrenchment in the scooter share business, followed by the pandemic.
