The city council’s Committee of the Whole on Monday decided against renewing the city’s one-year pilot program with Bird Rides, Inc., which would have kept the dockless, pay-as-you-go vehicles on city streets for another year… Aside from lack of usage, several councilmembers expressed concerns about safety and negative resident feedback. Some, like Councilmember Inga Selders, said she’s heard from a resident in a wheelchair who was unable to get around scooters parked at the Shops of Prairie Village. Councilmember Chad Herring said he still worries about safety issues with scooters, including riders falling off or getting injured.
