Scoot says it red-lined two SF neighborhoods at their request.
In defense of its practice of excluding two of the San Francisco’s neediest neighborhoods, San Francisco-based mobility company Scoot says local community leaders and organizations asked it not to allow riders to park their scooters in those areas. Scoot Chief Executive Michael Keating said community leaders in the Tenderloin and Chinatown expressed concerns about congestion in those areas because both neighborhoods have “narrow, crowded sidewalks.
Scoot will continue to treat those areas as no-park zones, although it changed the color of the lines on its map from red to black. “When we expanded the parking area for our Kick scooter service a few months ago, we began to hear concerns from the community and neighborhood organizations we have maintained relationships with for years,” Keating wrote. “Specifically, organizations and community leaders in Chinatown and the Tenderloin wondered what would happen if our scooters started parking on their sidewalks.”
