00:09:13.410 --> 00:09:19.860 Brian Averill: When I think Brian just quickly, just so everyone knows, so this is obviously this meeting focuses on the scooters. 132 00:09:20.580 --> 00:09:28.620 Brian Averill: That sort of breaks down into two issues there's the unlicensed unpermitted on GEO fence stuff that's being rented on the boardwalk. 133 00:09:29.100 --> 00:09:39.960 Brian Averill: And then there's a there's the company who we've worked with in the past and have been super cooperative so we're going to start, I think, with Eric and see the 11th new motion. 134 00:09:40.530 --> 00:09:49.590 Brian Averill: to sort of wrangle what's going on on the boardwalk and then we could we could move on to the companies and discuss how we can all cooperate so. 135 00:09:50.880 --> 00:09:54.090 Brian Averill: we're going to do, public comment now but Eric if. 136 00:09:55.530 --> 00:10:07.140 Brian Averill: If you could start things off after public comment that would be great

opening remarks just to frame the discussion tonight and then talk a little bit about the steps that we are taking, as the Council office to address issues on ocean front walk. 154 00:12:12.960 --> 00:12:23.670 Eric Bruins (CD11): So the first thing is just in terms of a little context the scooter program or does either dockless mobility pilot Program. 155 00:12:24.300 --> 00:12:34.110 Eric Bruins (CD11): was created at this point like two and a half years ago I it's hard to believe that it's been that long since we've been living with scooters on our streets, but it has been. 156 00:12:35.580 --> 00:12:45.780 Eric Bruins (CD11): That long we did we took a cautious approach to introducing them to Los Angeles, with the pilot program that pilot program ran for two years. 157 00:12:46.230 --> 00:12:53.640 Eric Bruins (CD11): The first year it was about a year long pilot program followed by a rigorous evaluation process. 158 00:12:54.510 --> 00:13:10.950 Eric Bruins (CD11): And then the the transition to a permanent program took about a year because the the lessons learned from the pilot period were very significant and it took it required a lot of structural changes, a deity in order to pivot to a permanent program that permanent program was. 159 00:13:10.950 --> 00:13:12.300 1609****346: approved about six. 160 00:13:12.330 --> 00:13:13.410 Eric Bruins (CD11): Months ago at this point. 161 00:13:13.770 --> 00:13:16.710 Eric Bruins (CD11): And so what we're living with now is is the Program. 162 00:13:17.220 --> 00:13:23.730 Eric Bruins (CD11): And so, as with every every piece of city, you know everything in the city, we are always open to feedback on how it's going. 163 00:13:24.030 --> 00:13:38.280 Eric Bruins (CD11): But I do want to be very clear that the pilot period is over, and at this point, we are running a full fledge regulatory program out of the Department of Transportation they are regulated by the same unit that does our taxis, and a lot of the. 164 00:13:38.280 --> 00:13:42.120 Eric Bruins (CD11): expertise and the Department has about regulating for higher transportation. 165 00:13:42.120 --> 00:13:42.720 1609****346: is now. 166 00:13:42.750 --> 00:13:44.430 Eric Bruins (CD11): applied to this program. 167 00:13:46.410 --> 00:13:47.580 Eric Bruins (CD11): So I did ask. 168 00:13:48.210 --> 00:13:52.440 Eric Bruins (CD11): Jose Elias is in a couple of his colleagues a duty. 169 00:13:52.830 --> 00:13:54.660 Eric Bruins (CD11): To provide a presentation about. 170 00:13:54.750 --> 00:13:57.210 Eric Bruins (CD11): Updating on basically what's going on with. 171 00:13:57.780 --> 00:13:59.130 Eric Bruins (CD11): With with the program and. 172 00:13:59.160 --> 00:14:00.750 Eric Bruins (CD11): Some recent information about. 173 00:14:01.350 --> 00:14:02.940 Eric Bruins (CD11): How different things in Venice. 174 00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:07.950 Eric Bruins (CD11): are working, including the special operations zones restrictions that front walk restrictions on the Wall Street. 175 00:14:09.480 --> 00:14:14.880 Eric Bruins (CD11): And, as well as kind of their conclusions about how well those various efforts are. 176 00:14:15.900 --> 00:14:16.410 1609****346: working. 177 00:14:16.890 --> 00:14:17.550 Eric Bruins (CD11): And then. 178 00:14:18.540 --> 00:14:23.010 Eric Bruins (CD11): kind of based on their evaluation and the feedback we're seeing from the Community as a community still. 179 00:14:23.010 --> 00:14:24.180 Eric Bruins (CD11): has a lot of impacts on. 180 00:14:24.420 --> 00:14:26.010 Eric Bruins (CD11): A walk around devices. 181 00:14:26.670 --> 00:14:30.450 Eric Bruins (CD11): While do it, you know, without revealing too much ahead of Jose. 182 00:14:31.500 --> 00:14:41.340 Eric Bruins (CD11): You know, beauty is finding that generally speaking it's not very regulated devices that are operating on a different walk it is private devices that are operated by third party rental. 183 00:14:42.030 --> 00:15:01.200 Eric Bruins (CD11): rental companies that are you know kind of the mom and pop scooter shops on those aren't walking nearby so With that in mind our office very recently introduced a motion aimed at regulating that problem by restricting business activity kind of from those mom and POPs to. 184 00:15:02.280 --> 00:15:17.190 Eric Bruins (CD11): improve notice requirements so that way there is basically no way that someone could rent the scooter from one of those businesses and not understand where they are and are not allowed to be because that's really kind of the root of the problem is folks are pleading ignorance. 185 00:15:18.300 --> 00:15:26.490 Eric Bruins (CD11): And so, so we want there to be you know no excuse so that way, if you know if it's happening and lapd pulls you over for it. 186 00:15:27.660 --> 00:15:28.200 Eric Bruins (CD11): That. 187 00:15:28.260 --> 00:15:28.590 1609****346: You know. 188 00:15:28.770 --> 00:15:29.790 Eric Bruins (CD11): there's basically you know. 189 00:15:29.850 --> 00:15:34.560 Eric Bruins (CD11): You had to have known, so the way that we're trying to do that. 190 00:15:35.640 --> 00:15:37.620 1609****346: Is require at the. 191 00:15:37.710 --> 00:15:39.420 Eric Bruins (CD11): At the point of the rental. 192 00:15:40.110 --> 00:15:41.520 1609****346: require ample notification. 193 00:15:41.520 --> 00:15:55.050 Eric Bruins (CD11): Both in the store and as part of the rental agreement, including when you are signing the rental agreement, there is a separate signature or initial required next to a statement that the device is not allowed on a walk and like that. 194 00:15:55.680 --> 00:16:02.850 Eric Bruins (CD11): So you have to specifically acknowledge that that restriction and thanks to judy's comments we will add the wall street's to that to that requirement. 195 00:16:03.570 --> 00:16:13.290 Eric Bruins (CD11): And it also for businesses that are located, you know basically Western Pacific we defined it as 500 feet within 500 feet of ocean front walk. 196 00:16:14.550 --> 00:16:18.180 Eric Bruins (CD11): If you are displaying you know if you're basically advertising. 197 00:16:18.210 --> 00:16:20.700 Eric Bruins (CD11): Factor you rent scooters outside of your storefront. 198 00:16:21.510 --> 00:16:29.160 Eric Bruins (CD11): we're going to require that that you that you display the scooters with a sign that says Oh, by the way, if you rent it here you're not allowed to write it here. 199 00:16:29.850 --> 00:16:37.740 Eric Bruins (CD11): So that should cut down on on the advertising and the attractive nuisance of people think thinking that this would be a fun way to experience the boardwalk. 200 00:16:38.370 --> 00:16:39.870 Eric Bruins (CD11): And also, and maybe this is. 201 00:16:39.870 --> 00:16:46.860 Eric Bruins (CD11): The most important part is, if you are one of these ocean from walk adjacent businesses we're going to require that if you are. 202 00:16:46.860 --> 00:16:49.080 Eric Bruins (CD11): renting a device that cannot be written on oceanfront. 203 00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:59.520 Eric Bruins (CD11): lock that you have to walk with that customer and that device to at least 100 yards east of ocean front walk to again reiterate the fact that it is not welcome on oceanfront walk. 204 00:16:59.940 --> 00:17:09.630 Eric Bruins (CD11): And that will be a significant drag on their employee time as well, so it really could start cutting into the business model that we're seeing at some of the shops on the on the boardwalk. 205 00:17:10.710 --> 00:17:22.860 Eric Bruins (CD11): So that's the summary of the motion, you know, this is the first step we're expecting it to get heard public works committee this week and hopefully go to Council shortly thereafter, that is a that request that that motion is. 206 00:17:22.860 --> 00:17:25.290 Eric Bruins (CD11): requested the city attorney drafting ordinance. 207 00:17:25.530 --> 00:17:35.340 Eric Bruins (CD11): But fortunately we work very closely with the city attorney's office and drafting this motion so that way they can turn around and ordinance in fairly short order, there should be no surprises, but this. 208 00:17:36.390 --> 00:17:42.090 Eric Bruins (CD11): So you know, hopefully we're looking at regulation in the near very near future for those mom and POPs. 209 00:17:44.100 --> 00:17:46.380 Eric Bruins (CD11): happy to take any questions from the Committee on. 210 00:17:46.410 --> 00:17:51.390 Eric Bruins (CD11): That point now, otherwise I can turn it over to do T for their presentation. 211 00:17:52.770 --> 00:17:53.850 Brian Averill: Noel if you have a question. 212 00:17:56.490 --> 00:17:56.880 Brian Averill: Can you. 213 00:17:57.390 --> 00:18:01.110 Noel Johnston: unmute myself yeah I know who is enforcing this. 214 00:18:02.490 --> 00:18:12.150 Eric Bruins (CD11): The it basically would become a general ordinance in the city, at which point PD is the primary enforcement arm. 215 00:18:14.370 --> 00:18:16.080 Brian Averill: And Eric who who would be cited. 216 00:18:16.080 --> 00:18:19.530 Brian Averill: Would it be the the person renting it for the person writing it. 217 00:18:20.460 --> 00:18:33.000 Eric Bruins (CD11): Well it's already illegal for the person to write it there, so they're already subject to citation you know lapd views that as a relatively low priority, because you know they they are also dealing with crime. 218 00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:41.460 Eric Bruins (CD11): and violence and all the other things that we have in the Community, so this is hopefully so, but this basically also makes it. 219 00:18:41.640 --> 00:18:44.640 1609****346: A violation for the business owner if they don't rent. 220 00:18:44.670 --> 00:18:46.620 Eric Bruins (CD11): The device in accordance with the provisions of this. 221 00:18:46.620 --> 00:18:47.280 ordinance. 222 00:18:48.300 --> 00:18:50.760 Eric Bruins (CD11): So enforcement is a great question and we will have to be working with. 223 00:18:50.940 --> 00:18:54.180 Eric Bruins (CD11): The attorney's office to make sure that it's drafted in the way that that that makes sense. 224 00:18:55.380 --> 00:18:55.950 Eric Bruins (CD11): But. 225 00:18:56.790 --> 00:18:59.280 Eric Bruins (CD11): If the right now the business owner has no. 226 00:19:00.630 --> 00:19:03.210 Eric Bruins (CD11): interaction and we want to make it clear that it's their job. 227 00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:05.580 Eric Bruins (CD11): to educate their own customers on where they can and cannot. 228 00:19:05.580 --> 00:19:08.370 Brian Averill: be done, I think Noel has a follow up and. 229 00:19:08.580 --> 00:19:09.720 Robert has a question to. 230 00:19:10.770 --> 00:19:11.940 1609****346: Our last meeting we. 231 00:19:12.180 --> 00:19:17.640 Noel Johnston: made a motion that we would like to a park ranger would have Parker. 232 00:19:18.090 --> 00:19:20.610 Noel Johnston: Possibly in for something like this. 233 00:19:22.110 --> 00:19:26.190 Eric Bruins (CD11): park Rangers are you know certified public safety officers. 234 00:19:26.190 --> 00:19:26.340 Eric Bruins (CD11): That. 235 00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:31.200 Eric Bruins (CD11): That have kind of that fitness same law enforcement credential that police officer has said. 236 00:19:31.260 --> 00:19:31.890 Eric Bruins (CD11): So they would be. 237 00:19:31.920 --> 00:19:35.430 Eric Bruins (CD11): able to enforce if we were successful in securing a park ranger. 238 00:19:37.170 --> 00:19:38.310 Noel Johnston: sounds like a great idea. 239 00:19:38.670 --> 00:19:43.410 Noel Johnston: To me it sounded like it last week last month and it sounds like a better one this. 240 00:19:43.410 --> 00:19:43.710 one. 241 00:19:45.990 --> 00:19:48.720 jim robb: Just a second guys i'm trying to get a. 242 00:19:49.680 --> 00:19:59.760 jim robb: The lapd in here they're not able to get in also mark Rogers Captain emmerich right there mark Rocco is trying to get in sorry about this we're. 243 00:20:00.630 --> 00:20:01.770 1609****346: gonna Joe Joe. 244 00:20:02.280 --> 00:20:03.600 1609****346: And Nixon okay. 245 00:20:03.690 --> 00:20:05.790 jim robb: Sorry guys, I mean everybody, not. 246 00:20:07.650 --> 00:20:10.500 1609****346: Everybody I yeah I had a quick question comment. 247 00:20:11.880 --> 00:20:15.270 robertthibodeau: Are you proposing any increased signage on ocean for a walk is one. 248 00:20:15.270 --> 00:20:25.650 robertthibodeau: thing that as a frequent ocean for a walk person myself is, I noticed that there's no signage that I see between. 249 00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:38.040 robertthibodeau: What is it Venice boulevard and Washington, you could be on there, you would have no way of knowing I mean I understand the waiver form that you're signing, but we all sign those things I signed them when I go skiing I never read the damn thing. 250 00:20:38.610 --> 00:20:46.290 robertthibodeau: You know, but if you had a sign that says no III scooters no III bikes I think people would get the idea right now it's pretty ambiguous. 251 00:20:47.280 --> 00:20:57.360 Eric Bruins (CD11): yeah you'll you may remember that our office work pretty closely with the county on signage on the bike path and I don't know if that made me i'm curious actually to hear it, that made a significant difference. 252 00:20:57.930 --> 00:21:06.210 Eric Bruins (CD11): So there is a you know, an approved sign I think there's always a balance between you know, there are so many rules, and those are front walk and part of the issue, as well as there's also. 253 00:21:06.210 --> 00:21:14.400 Eric Bruins (CD11): Somebody signs and you know with with signed letter, and so you know, in one way to solve that is make them, you know more graphical and you know. 254 00:21:14.670 --> 00:21:26.910 Eric Bruins (CD11): And more more concise but I also you know, want to be sensitive to not just like completely littering the Community with aluminum on every single sign on every single post, so we need to figure out what the right balance is there. 255 00:21:27.480 --> 00:21:28.290 robertthibodeau: I haven't seen. 256 00:21:28.350 --> 00:21:44.550 robertthibodeau: I have not seen a sign saying no no scooters etc between the Pier in between between when we're I maybe they're down at when we're Dan, but I have not seen them up by the beer at all so maybe maybe the rough I just missed him but anyway thanks for the answer. 257 00:21:45.030 --> 00:21:46.620 Mark Nedlin: Okay extra. 258 00:21:49.260 --> 00:21:51.240 Mark Nedlin: android can I can I ask a question, please. 259 00:21:51.750 --> 00:21:54.030 Brian Averill: I think Andrew his hand was up, then we can go to you mark. 260 00:21:55.170 --> 00:21:55.470 Brian Averill: Andrew. 261 00:21:56.250 --> 00:21:58.290 Andrew Mika: what's the citation to the business owner. 262 00:22:00.210 --> 00:22:01.530 Eric Bruins (CD11): And in terms of how much is it. 263 00:22:01.980 --> 00:22:05.070 Andrew Mika: yeah assuming that like is it per scooter assuming they violate. 264 00:22:05.070 --> 00:22:11.460 Andrew Mika: This what's the like, is it meaningful or or people just going to incorporate it into their cost of doing business. 265 00:22:12.210 --> 00:22:23.490 Eric Bruins (CD11): I think those are exactly the types of questions that we're going to work out when we look at the motion is a request to draft an ordinance, and so one of the things that the ordinance will have to include is what the penalties are. 266 00:22:23.970 --> 00:22:35.520 Eric Bruins (CD11): And what code section that lives in terms of who exactly responsible for enforcement, because if it's in a code section, for example, that street services investigators and for us that's different than a code section that lapd enforces. 267 00:22:35.730 --> 00:22:44.940 Eric Bruins (CD11): So those are exactly the types of details that we need to work on with this odd attorney's office once they're actually writing the specific ordinance language and figuring out where it lives in the muni code. 268 00:22:45.660 --> 00:22:46.890 Andrew Mika: Okay, thank you. 269 00:22:47.070 --> 00:22:50.760 Brian Averill: that's your thanks Andrew mark was next than rather than. 270 00:22:51.270 --> 00:22:58.830 Mark Nedlin: yeah thanks for the for the Info I live on oceanfront walk in with respect to the signs, I mean they're currently lots of signs. 271 00:22:59.790 --> 00:23:05.130 Mark Nedlin: instructing visitors that this is a residential neighborhood and that no amplified music and. 272 00:23:05.610 --> 00:23:10.650 Mark Nedlin: and other things relating to noise levels, I don't think anybody ever pays attention to those I mean there, there are people. 273 00:23:11.340 --> 00:23:21.120 Mark Nedlin: routinely parked in the parking lots of blessed music sometimes very late into the evening, nobody enforces it and this goes to the park Rangers because they walk around they do nothing about. 274 00:23:21.810 --> 00:23:33.120 Mark Nedlin: Why do you think you know any kind of sign, what about he likes would be any more effective than the signs about the you know no loud music, and this is a residential area. 275 00:23:34.290 --> 00:23:34.650 Thank you. 276 00:23:37.920 --> 00:23:38.910 Brian Averill: Eric you want to tackle that. 277 00:23:39.450 --> 00:23:52.770 Eric Bruins (CD11): I mean, I mean I think that's exactly the question about finance and why signage is an important component to a larger strategy, but it's not sufficient and that's really why I think we honed in on the the point of rental. 278 00:23:53.520 --> 00:24:00.450 Eric Bruins (CD11): Because we want to say what are these people already having to look at and some in particularly you know, a separate signature next to. 279 00:24:00.870 --> 00:24:09.540 Eric Bruins (CD11): Next to an explanation of where you are not allowed to ride, I think, is probably you know hope is hopefully much more effective than just putting up a sign on a lamppost. 280 00:24:10.140 --> 00:24:23.160 Eric Bruins (CD11): At least that's our theory, but so like said, you know we We believe there should be there should be enough signage but just littering the boardwalk with signs on whatever the latest nuisances I think is not a long term sustainable solution for this area. 281 00:24:24.330 --> 00:24:26.280 Brian Averill: gotcha thanks Eric Robin go for it. 282 00:24:26.880 --> 00:24:38.820 Robin Rudisill: yeah first well done Eric this is sounds really good, I guess, the only real question is enforcement and is the lapd going to be willing and make it a priority, I have two quick things one. 283 00:24:39.840 --> 00:24:46.140 Robin Rudisill: Can you be sure that for the walk streets you're including all of the north Venice walk streets, all the way down to Washington. 284 00:24:46.890 --> 00:24:54.090 Robin Rudisill: Not just down to Venice boulevard needs to be the whole area because there's a lot of scooter activity down here too and. 285 00:24:54.870 --> 00:25:04.980 Robin Rudisill: Great Thank you and then secondly, you talked about the 100 feet from ocean front walk you know the earliest, they can start writing does that get the past the walk streets. 286 00:25:06.570 --> 00:25:24.150 Eric Bruins (CD11): um well let's see so 500 feet is basically promotional front walk to Pacific the requirement on walking them at least 100 yards to 300 feet is like you know at that point what 60% of the way to Pacific, so I guess. 287 00:25:24.360 --> 00:25:26.250 Robin Rudisill: Well that'll land right in a walk street. 288 00:25:27.600 --> 00:25:32.070 Eric Bruins (CD11): yeah we can we can essentially tighten that up a little bit. 289 00:25:33.480 --> 00:25:41.760 Robin Rudisill: just add, but not on a walk street you know up speedway or whatever right Okay, I would appreciate that clarification, thank you. 290 00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:43.950 Brian Averill: cool thanks welcome James miras. 291 00:25:49.980 --> 00:25:51.030 Eric Bruins (CD11): jenna Thank you so much good. 292 00:25:55.230 --> 00:25:55.860 james murez: There we go. 293 00:25:57.150 --> 00:25:58.620 james murez: I heard you say three things. 294 00:25:59.940 --> 00:26:05.160 james murez: 100 yards to me sounds like a lot of distance because that's going to take them past speedway. 295 00:26:06.270 --> 00:26:15.120 james murez: And that means that they're going to have to start off in the middle of the block which is most likely going to be an alley and then that raises the question. 296 00:26:16.170 --> 00:26:21.030 james murez: Because there's so many of these people and they're spread out across the entire distance of North Venice. 297 00:26:22.830 --> 00:26:27.930 james murez: Or the alleys going in the right direction for them to be able to ride where they want to go, they just going to put them out on. 298 00:26:28.470 --> 00:26:35.100 james murez: On Pacific and they're going to have to turn around and go the wrong direction on a one way street, which is actually an alley. 299 00:26:35.490 --> 00:26:46.980 james murez: And that brings up the next point that if you're restricting sidewalks or or you said you're going to restrict the walk streets why aren't you also restricting sidewalks in one way streets. 300 00:26:47.370 --> 00:26:57.480 james murez: Because speedway is a one way street, so what you're going to create is a whole new circulation pattern for these things interacting with all of the cars that are moving throughout the same area. 301 00:26:58.380 --> 00:27:12.060 james murez: During the summer that's particularly a bad idea, because it's very crowded and that's going to cause all sorts of additional new traffic problems, so I think that's something that has to be very, very carefully thought out where what is the pattern of the actual scooter going to be. 302 00:27:13.260 --> 00:27:22.620 james murez: If you actually want people to follow the rules and the intent, I understand is that you want them to follow the rules, you have to figure out how are they going to get to and from. 303 00:27:23.040 --> 00:27:35.610 james murez: Wherever they're starting from an ending up I think that's really important to think about that, especially with the hundred yards issue because that puts them already well away and when they come back they're going to have to theoretically stop 100 yards away. 304 00:27:36.930 --> 00:27:42.360 james murez: that's also another big question mark how's that going to work, how did they get back to the shop at that point. 305 00:27:43.380 --> 00:27:45.180 james murez: And then the last thing I wanted to say. 306 00:27:47.370 --> 00:27:48.390 james murez: In my opinion. 307 00:27:50.190 --> 00:28:00.960 james murez: there's there's a an enforcement element that's not used very often in the city, but the state uses it quite a bit, particularly in the farmers market industry. 308 00:28:01.650 --> 00:28:17.880 james murez: it's called a penalty matrix and in a penalty matrix the first offense is maybe $1 the second offense is $5 the third offense is $150 the fourth offense maybe $1,000 and by implementing that structure. 309 00:28:18.690 --> 00:28:32.580 james murez: The the enforcement is not just to get another citation and it's another $10 which I think is what Brian was alluding to is it's just going to become a cost of doing business but actually the matrix would allow you to pre define. 310 00:28:34.470 --> 00:28:42.570 james murez: How expensive it's going to get to be to the point that maybe you even want to take away their business license to being able to operate their business on ocean broadwalk. 311 00:28:43.590 --> 00:28:45.030 james murez: So those are my comments, thank you. 312 00:28:45.870 --> 00:28:47.640 Eric Bruins (CD11): people's minds are very well taken Thank you. 313 00:28:48.390 --> 00:28:48.900 Brian Averill: Thanks Jim. 314 00:28:51.930 --> 00:28:55.140 Brian Averill: i've got two hands up in the attendees. 315 00:28:56.310 --> 00:29:00.270 Brian Averill: i'm going to permit them to speak vicki do you have a question. 316 00:29:02.100 --> 00:29:06.720 Vicki Halliday: I do um I mean my my question has to do with. 317 00:29:08.460 --> 00:29:15.630 Vicki Halliday: The the users in these new restrictions that you're talking about I live on a walk street between Pacific and May. 318 00:29:17.130 --> 00:29:27.990 Vicki Halliday: Pacific has very narrow sidewalks they're not a da compliant there nothing it's hard to get around the light Poles in certain cases, if you're even carrying groceries. 319 00:29:28.530 --> 00:29:42.630 Vicki Halliday: We have these things parked on Pacific constantly and it's like navigating blocks of scooters already and I don't blame the scooter companies, I blame the writers, who are just selfish bastards. 320 00:29:43.560 --> 00:29:58.830 Vicki Halliday: So you know what are we going to do about that about selfish people who ride these things and leave them in front of my steps to my house, I mean every other place, and again I don't blame the scooter companies but it's a situation that has been created. 321 00:30:00.180 --> 00:30:09.510 Vicki Halliday: By just the ability to leave these things everywhere, so I think that ending it at Pacific needs to be looked at, because Pacific. 322 00:30:10.320 --> 00:30:21.750 Vicki Halliday: has no docking areas there's there's no place to leave them you look at the pedestrian sign at sunset and Pacific were two people had been killed and you can't get across that. 323 00:30:23.310 --> 00:30:32.910 Vicki Halliday: way, very often, and the corners are always blocked so that would be my concern about you know the Pacific cut off, thank you. 324 00:30:33.570 --> 00:30:34.170 Brian Averill: let's look. 325 00:30:37.200 --> 00:30:39.570 Brian Averill: More let's keep it moving. 326 00:30:42.630 --> 00:30:52.860 Erica Moore: hi thanks so much Eric um I think it just really all boils down to this has to be thoughtfully really thoughtful and safety has to be number one. 327 00:30:53.340 --> 00:30:55.530 Erica Moore: And it's a lot of the things people are addressing. 328 00:30:56.460 --> 00:31:07.980 Erica Moore: I mean it is all about enforcement because it doesn't matter, you can have as many regulations that you want, but if there's no way to effectively enforce this it's meaningless and it's. 329 00:31:08.760 --> 00:31:16.260 Erica Moore: i've been saying, from the start, I think that the scooter companies should provide some sort of almost like a major meter maid type service. 330 00:31:16.620 --> 00:31:30.780 Erica Moore: That does patrol around and make sure that the scooters are parked appropriately that they're not obstructing that they're not in areas are not allowed in that people aren't writing double and you know tandem and triple on a scooter which happens a lot. 331 00:31:32.430 --> 00:31:38.070 Erica Moore: I think there's there's multiple things that could be an issue or that are an issue already and I think that. 332 00:31:39.000 --> 00:31:43.260 Erica Moore: Some of the things that Mr muir is addressed are things you really have to consider because. 333 00:31:43.680 --> 00:31:54.540 Erica Moore: How do you get these scooters back to these people they're really does need to be a docking system and I I almost in my personal opinion, think that there just should be scooter free areas, and I think signage wise. 334 00:31:54.960 --> 00:32:04.860 Erica Moore: let's look at doing something really simple like the red circle, with a scooter in it, I mean that's the most obvious easy thing for anybody who doesn't speak whatever language. 335 00:32:05.460 --> 00:32:11.700 Erica Moore: Everybody knows what that is that's very universal and really simple so that's what I have to say, thanks so much guys. 336 00:32:12.030 --> 00:32:12.360 So. 337 00:32:13.560 --> 00:32:28.290 jim robb: Just real quick, we do have Captain emirates on here so that after we have a CD low I mean a Jose speak then we're going to also have Captain amorous speak as well, so. 338 00:32:29.070 --> 00:32:37.830 jim robb: Okay everybody's here I promoted everybody to panelists because I don't know who's who so let's just be considerate and move this along and everybody just. 339 00:32:38.280 --> 00:32:39.060 jim robb: be nice. 340 00:32:39.210 --> 00:32:39.630 Thank you. 341 00:32:40.650 --> 00:32:42.360 Brian Averill: we're going to end with Judy and then we could. 342 00:32:42.630 --> 00:32:45.000 Brian Averill: move on to Jose and then I. 343 00:32:45.030 --> 00:32:46.470 Brian Averill: Can chime in. 344 00:32:48.330 --> 00:32:53.430 Judy Goldman: Well, I have a question if scooters are not permitted on wall. 345 00:32:53.460 --> 00:32:53.970 street. 346 00:32:55.140 --> 00:33:00.810 Judy Goldman: And all the problems that are being described on Pacific, because the. 347 00:33:05.520 --> 00:33:06.240 Brian Averill: breaking up God. 348 00:33:06.840 --> 00:33:14.400 Judy Goldman: not permitted on the walk streets and I it's just a question I have a statement, it seems to me that. 349 00:33:15.480 --> 00:33:22.620 Judy Goldman: renting these scooters on ocean front walk and then turning them loose in an area where they're really not permitted. 350 00:33:23.490 --> 00:33:34.650 Judy Goldman: It seems illogical to me so i'm just wondering why are they even being a rented on ocean front walk is there, another way to do this, so that we have a zone. 351 00:33:35.190 --> 00:33:48.030 Judy Goldman: That is protected, I mean it's semi protected but it's a big temptation to let somebody get on a scooter one block for half a block from a place that they're not supposed to be writing Thank you. 352 00:33:48.540 --> 00:33:53.430 Brian Averill: Thanks Judy Eric if you have any thoughts on on any of those comments, please. 353 00:33:53.550 --> 00:33:56.250 Eric Bruins (CD11): yeah i'll take i'll take them in order, I think. 354 00:33:56.700 --> 00:34:07.260 Eric Bruins (CD11): vicki and Eric has comments both were much more related to the dockless program that that Jose is going to talk about in terms of parking restrictions, so I will let him take those after his presentation. 355 00:34:07.830 --> 00:34:15.600 Eric Bruins (CD11): As far as judy's comment, I think I mean I philosophically I agree, I think that there is a question about what. 356 00:34:15.840 --> 00:34:23.340 Eric Bruins (CD11): You know the city can't overreach and in regulating businesses and just straight up banning certain things necessarily I mean it could escalate to that level. 357 00:34:23.790 --> 00:34:29.820 Eric Bruins (CD11): But we're going to try this process, first, and you know, we could have if it doesn't work, then we could have to escalate it. 358 00:34:30.150 --> 00:34:34.200 Eric Bruins (CD11): I do you think that jim's idea about escalating fines and whatnot is a really great one. 359 00:34:34.620 --> 00:34:44.460 Eric Bruins (CD11): And I do think that you know some businesses that currently rent you know bicycle candy scooters on the on oceanfront walk may decide that the the scooter part of their business is. 360 00:34:44.670 --> 00:34:56.550 Eric Bruins (CD11): No longer makes sense, under the new rules, because they just don't have enough employees to to handle the rental etc, etc, so this may prove or onerous enough to chase them to these operators often often oceanfront one. 361 00:34:58.380 --> 00:34:59.070 Brian Averill: Thanks Eric. 362 00:35:01.860 --> 00:35:04.020 Brian Averill: Jim rob you want to move on to Jose. 363 00:35:04.920 --> 00:35:06.630 jim robb: Yes, let's move on to Jose. 364 00:35:07.110 --> 00:35:07.830 stood. 365 00:35:10.530 --> 00:35:12.090 jim robb: Okay, all right. 366 00:35:12.450 --> 00:35:28.740 Jose Elias: hi everyone, my name is Jose alias and i'm with led ot can on the line we should have Vladimir and Eric who are also on our team so i'm going to try and breeze through the presentation, just so we could try and answer a lot of questions and I know that. 367 00:35:29.790 --> 00:35:39.600 Jose Elias: You have several so I want to talk about our dockless program and now you have issues now with the other scooters that are being rented on the boardwalk so let me go ahead and share my screen. 368 00:36:09.780 --> 00:36:10.680 Jose Elias: Okay, can you see my. 369 00:36:11.100 --> 00:36:12.390 Brian Averill: screen yep. 370 00:36:13.020 --> 00:36:13.710 Jose Elias: Okay cool. 371 00:36:16.170 --> 00:36:17.790 Jose Elias: Alright, so let me start. 372 00:36:18.870 --> 00:36:19.680 Jose Elias: At the top here. 373 00:36:24.090 --> 00:36:33.270 Jose Elias: Okay, so the first slide it's going to show you the existing vendor special operations zones that we implemented from listening to a lot of your feedback. 374 00:36:33.900 --> 00:36:46.260 Jose Elias: And so the special operations on like almost two miles, and we are special policies in place and, as you can see the Green is the the area and all the red. 375 00:36:46.890 --> 00:37:02.820 Jose Elias: All the red areas are basically the restricted areas, following a lot of your comments, we we GEO fence the the canals and then we go ahead and an extended the canals across Washington and then we also GEO fence the. 376 00:37:03.900 --> 00:37:16.770 Jose Elias: The walk streets for the walks rates oceanfront walk and also the bike path and those dots represent the the drop zones that we that we installed about 26. 377 00:37:18.450 --> 00:37:23.700 Jose Elias: Initially, and then additional 11 along gabby Kenny once we expanded that area as well. 378 00:37:26.520 --> 00:37:36.510 Jose Elias: And this slide shows the 23rd initial 26 drops those that we implemented and so that gives you a quick summary snapshot of what you're seeing. 379 00:37:37.200 --> 00:37:50.280 Jose Elias: And then the new 11 drop zones long out of Kenya you seen those are like the first ones that we've installed within the city and those are specific corrals on street where where you're going to start seeing a lot of a scooters park there. 380 00:37:52.530 --> 00:37:58.050 Jose Elias: So one of the things that we also heard from several conversations is is a concern is about. 381 00:37:59.280 --> 00:38:14.670 Jose Elias: scooters riding along the walk streets, so we have done initial analysis and we found out that the most impacted our North of Washington boulevard and those are the ones with the yellow boxes, those are the 10 top 10 most impacted. 382 00:38:15.960 --> 00:38:16.650 Jose Elias: walk streets. 383 00:38:18.330 --> 00:38:26.130 Jose Elias: So, so in the text you're going to start to see the policies that we implemented in the special operations zone. 384 00:38:27.360 --> 00:38:36.690 Jose Elias: So each operator shall not exceed a maximum of 150 be, of course, within the genesis was the at any time, so they do have a Max CAP for each company. 385 00:38:37.470 --> 00:38:47.310 Jose Elias: And then opera operators are authorized to deploy rebounds vehicles only into led to identified partners, which are which are those about 30 somethings zones that you've already seen. 386 00:38:48.210 --> 00:39:00.420 Jose Elias: And then, and then they could deploy between the hours of five to 10am daily and only five per zone, and then the new policy that we added once we did the analysis and talking to. 387 00:39:01.440 --> 00:39:13.560 Jose Elias: To lobby constituents, is that we implement to the Venice beach walks rates policy and you can't deploy start or end a trip up within the the walk streets, we understand that you may see. 388 00:39:15.030 --> 00:39:21.750 Jose Elias: Some scooters that may get through, but I think the conversations that we had is that there is a sometimes a delay, depending on signal. 389 00:39:22.290 --> 00:39:34.290 Jose Elias: And, and they do have a five mile per hour limit, so if they do happen to go through there they're typically slowing down, but it may or may not seem that it's slowing down because they are usually going down a grade. 390 00:39:35.520 --> 00:39:40.680 Jose Elias: But i'll show you some of our initial analysis, as some of the things that we've done to. 391 00:39:41.820 --> 00:39:47.370 Jose Elias: alleviate some of those concerns, so we did add 12 know writing on sidewalks stencils. 392 00:39:48.450 --> 00:39:53.100 Jose Elias: And here's the locations from ozone to park avenue listening to your concerns. 393 00:39:54.600 --> 00:39:57.450 Jose Elias: And again, so this was well before we implemented via. 394 00:39:58.710 --> 00:40:07.650 Jose Elias: The policy along the walks routes This shows the TRIPS by segment in these areas by the walks rates, as you can see, it goes from red to green. 395 00:40:08.520 --> 00:40:18.030 Jose Elias: And, in this instance they're mostly yellow in the middle before implementation back in August of 2020 until October, when we implement the new policy. 396 00:40:19.740 --> 00:40:30.390 Jose Elias: And as you can see the switch started to switch over to mostly green so definitely significantly increase the type of trips that are going through the walk streets. 397 00:40:32.610 --> 00:40:34.830 Jose Elias: And I also did an analysis to start looking at. 398 00:40:36.450 --> 00:40:38.670 Jose Elias: vehicles that were riding along the. 399 00:40:39.840 --> 00:40:46.530 Jose Elias: ocean from walk I know that was has been a concern so as you can see, by the slide a lot of the TRIPS are ending along speedway. 400 00:40:47.310 --> 00:41:00.300 Jose Elias: But not many are are along ocean from walk which is down here on the border here so as you can see a lot of them are along speedway a few trickle in here and there, but a majority on the long Venice and Washington boulevard. 401 00:41:03.780 --> 00:41:17.070 Jose Elias: And as something to keep in mind that we still have our three on one system and that's how we we receive a lot of our our complaints or or concerns, so we still see those and we try to get to those service requests as soon as possible. 402 00:41:19.470 --> 00:41:26.850 Jose Elias: So some of the things that we've seen and Eric could probably attest to some of the things that that he's seen out there because he's constantly on the field. 403 00:41:28.080 --> 00:41:32.640 Jose Elias: we're walk vendors renting schools, without restrictions so that's The thing that we're trying to get a handle of. 404 00:41:34.140 --> 00:41:45.720 Jose Elias: When we implement these policies, a lot of the concerns went down, but I think I don't know from now is that if the new concerns are from the scooters that are being rented that are unrestricted along the along the boardwalk. 405 00:41:47.340 --> 00:41:51.360 Jose Elias: So again, a boardwalk suitors and make it appear that the geo fence is not working. 406 00:41:52.230 --> 00:42:03.510 Jose Elias: And it's going to require additional monitoring tissue operating from being regulatory requirements and that's why we have Eric on the line to so he could attest to some of the things has that he sees while he's down there. 407 00:42:04.950 --> 00:42:10.050 Jose Elias: Are you able to unlock unlock his uh his uh his phone or. 408 00:42:11.310 --> 00:42:11.820 Jose Elias: unmute him. 409 00:42:15.540 --> 00:42:15.870 Jose Elias: Very. 410 00:42:15.960 --> 00:42:16.590 Brian Averill: Imposing. 411 00:42:16.860 --> 00:42:20.850 Jose Elias: I don't know if he's on a private color because I know he was calling in he's a. 412 00:42:21.780 --> 00:42:22.950 Vladimir Gallegos GIS/DATA LADOT: eric's muted. 413 00:42:28.140 --> 00:42:28.470 Call-In User_1: Hello. 414 00:42:29.910 --> 00:42:40.290 Call-In User_1: hi can you hear me yep yes hi i'm Erica was on one of the senior class station investigators with led ot as Jose was bringing up. 415 00:42:41.010 --> 00:42:54.450 Call-In User_1: Our our staff goes out every day and patrols the air it's made sure to either submit some some additional 311 to have these Kevin doctors companies rectify all of the problems. 416 00:42:55.410 --> 00:43:00.000 Call-In User_1: And if we see anything egregious will will reach out to the companies themselves and let them know. 417 00:43:00.840 --> 00:43:13.680 Call-In User_1: That we see a problem in regards to the ocean front walk I know i've taken a few a few times over there, take a look and and I have noticed that there are a lot of. 418 00:43:14.340 --> 00:43:26.160 Call-In User_1: brick and mortar rental places and it, it can be easily misconstrued as the darkness companies, the permanent doctors copies that are operating within the ocean front walk or or even on the. 419 00:43:27.990 --> 00:43:29.520 Call-In User_1: Even on the walk streets but. 420 00:43:31.170 --> 00:43:39.930 Call-In User_1: Overall, from from listening to some suggestions in regards to to these brick and mortar establishments that that there could be some. 421 00:43:40.890 --> 00:43:53.100 Call-In User_1: Some time that it can help alleviate a lot of the problems that you may be seeing, but our staff overall does patrol the whole area of the Venice SLC to to make sure that. 422 00:43:55.170 --> 00:43:59.790 Call-In User_1: All the permitted companies are adhering to to the guidelines as best we can. 423 00:44:02.760 --> 00:44:04.140 jim robb: And who else did you want to promote. 424 00:44:06.180 --> 00:44:06.720 Brian Averill: A lot of men. 425 00:44:06.780 --> 00:44:12.330 Vladimir Gallegos GIS/DATA LADOT: Batman yeah um one thing I was going to say is that this, the problem of. 426 00:44:13.740 --> 00:44:22.470 Vladimir Gallegos GIS/DATA LADOT: kind of private scooters is something that we're not to saying just inbound, so this is something we saw little glimpses of this at the latest sequel via heart of La. 427 00:44:22.770 --> 00:44:33.390 Vladimir Gallegos GIS/DATA LADOT: which was a huge event, you have MacArthur Park, you know, we had a boyle heights chinatown and one of the things is that you do end up seeing people with private scooters going in and I thought. 428 00:44:33.780 --> 00:44:47.130 Vladimir Gallegos GIS/DATA LADOT: And we look at the data and we tried to look at these various things, and this is something that is, we are aware of and it's happening in other places, also but, in general, actually, the fact that we have licensed a licensed program with. 429 00:44:48.270 --> 00:44:56.910 Vladimir Gallegos GIS/DATA LADOT: Different companies who are here who have representatives, you know we tried to hold them, you know accountable and they are being accountable and i'm seeing, at least in the data, you know. 430 00:44:57.570 --> 00:45:10.020 Vladimir Gallegos GIS/DATA LADOT: So, but it's really important like Venice and all the various complexities that menaces to Santa Monica being a big you know draw for people is at the vanguard of various things so. 431 00:45:11.160 --> 00:45:15.030 Vladimir Gallegos GIS/DATA LADOT: You know just that we we feel like yeah. 432 00:45:16.740 --> 00:45:17.160 Brian Averill: Excellent. 433 00:45:18.390 --> 00:45:28.290 jim robb: I just wanna I just want to make a quick comment I know we have dropped zones, but there are places like North Venice and Washington down there with all those businesses. 434 00:45:29.130 --> 00:45:37.410 jim robb: And I mean on a Saturday there's 300 scooters and these aren't the boardwalk scooters, these are the people are on this call. 435 00:45:37.950 --> 00:45:47.160 jim robb: So I just want to you know kind of validate that I don't know what you guys are looking but North Dennis and down on Washington on a Saturday there's 300 some scooter so. 436 00:45:47.940 --> 00:46:02.910 jim robb: hi Peter so Peter know, everybody knows, so that I want to find out what we can do about them picking them up, so that the businesses like whaler and terrorist and all those are can do business because it's crazy down there. 437 00:46:04.320 --> 00:46:05.250 jim robb: that's just my comment. 438 00:46:06.150 --> 00:46:07.620 peter: Sherman fall problem. 439 00:46:10.620 --> 00:46:10.920 Brian Averill: Was. 440 00:46:11.940 --> 00:46:12.360 Brian Averill: So. 441 00:46:13.890 --> 00:46:16.590 peter: I say it's a trip and fall problem. 442 00:46:17.640 --> 00:46:18.480 Brian Averill: Oh gotcha right. 443 00:46:21.750 --> 00:46:35.580 Brian Averill: I wanna I want to be respectful of captain and bricks time so let's move on to him, Captain number, if you have anything to add, we would love to hear your perspective, we know you guys have bigger fish to fry than scooters but. 444 00:46:38.430 --> 00:46:49.080 Captain Steve Embrich: hey good evening everybody, I want to thank the dnc for taking on this important issue, I am concerned, for a couple reasons, because if you remember last December, we did have a homicide that was related to one of the smaller mom and pop brick and mortar locations. 445 00:46:49.860 --> 00:46:56.010 Captain Steve Embrich: which was related to scooter no more recently about a month ago, we did have a shooting that also occurred at a scooter rental place. 446 00:46:56.310 --> 00:47:05.490 Captain Steve Embrich: Not to mention all of our grand theft auto because the stolen electric bites also get included as a stolen vehicle so it's the big is the fastest growing. 447 00:47:06.030 --> 00:47:14.550 Captain Steve Embrich: segment of our grand theft auto population so right now, they represent about 9% of all of our grand theft auto this year. 448 00:47:14.880 --> 00:47:18.840 Captain Steve Embrich: So it's it's a whole new segment that we have to learn to work on, as far as crime prevention. 449 00:47:19.230 --> 00:47:23.760 Captain Steve Embrich: And i'm really glad that you guys are having this discussion tonight because that's going to help us, not to mention. 450 00:47:24.090 --> 00:47:31.920 Captain Steve Embrich: The increase in traffic accidents, I don't have that data with me, because that falls under West traffic division, but i'm sure they also share concerns we recently. 451 00:47:32.550 --> 00:47:41.940 Captain Steve Embrich: Had a accident in which two people on a scooter killed a pedestrian so something we want to pay attention to so number one to address the signage issue. 452 00:47:42.690 --> 00:47:51.060 Captain Steve Embrich: I know we are getting polluted the signs that purpose for the signage is for allowed to enable us to do, enforcement because that serves as the first notification, for example. 453 00:47:51.750 --> 00:48:01.140 Captain Steve Embrich: Like no trespassing we've enforcement requires a notification for a set of the signage serves as a notification, rather than a police officer going there and issuing a verbal warning. 454 00:48:02.580 --> 00:48:10.440 Captain Steve Embrich: Number two the enforcement somewhat problematic just to do to my deployment meditation so we just lost most of our summer loans. 455 00:48:10.800 --> 00:48:24.480 Captain Steve Embrich: So, honestly, what I can deploy right now on ocean front block is two officers per watch, so I have three watches spending over 23 hours and I already have them tasked with number one crime suppression number two enforcement of. 456 00:48:26.100 --> 00:48:34.530 Captain Steve Embrich: Because the city and and non governmental partners went through considerable expense, we need to maintain Venice beach if we want to make it a tourist destination again. 457 00:48:35.550 --> 00:48:38.130 Captain Steve Embrich: And in addition to that, just not the. 458 00:48:39.630 --> 00:48:48.540 Captain Steve Embrich: Deployment shortages, but enforcement someone becomes problematic for your police officer who's walking up and down Venice boulevard because I certainly shouldn't walk. 459 00:48:49.140 --> 00:48:56.610 Captain Steve Embrich: Because our enforcement would be directly with scooter operators, and those are not really the people who. 460 00:48:57.420 --> 00:49:07.320 Captain Steve Embrich: I guess i'm most deserving of the citation, because if we cite the visitor tourists from out of town or the visitor from outside of the Venice area. 461 00:49:07.920 --> 00:49:15.660 Captain Steve Embrich: they're going to get their citation and probably never come back again because it's going to be it's going to stay in school, a bus, so we need really need to. 462 00:49:16.470 --> 00:49:20.790 Captain Steve Embrich: address the vendors I don't know if you guys already discussed that at first part of me. 463 00:49:21.300 --> 00:49:29.070 Captain Steve Embrich: Because we missed it, but what we have observed, is that the larger vendors have already very effectively worked on the geo fencing. 464 00:49:29.520 --> 00:49:39.630 Captain Steve Embrich: The scooters that we do see come on to the boardwalk who are officers have encountered, because when we can do enforcement is on the major holidays, the folks that we have encountered our visitors from out of town. 465 00:49:40.410 --> 00:49:46.770 Captain Steve Embrich: or people coming from other parts of the city and thought well why else but I ride a scooter I rented a scooter to ride that ocean front walk. 466 00:49:47.430 --> 00:49:54.540 Captain Steve Embrich: And we explained to them that you know the vendors should have explained that to you and the scooter should not even be able to operate on here, so I think that GEO fencing is very important. 467 00:49:55.170 --> 00:50:03.360 Captain Steve Embrich: And we are wholeheartedly in agreement, as far as the docking where the drop zones, because they are all the scooters are all over the place right now. 468 00:50:04.470 --> 00:50:16.740 Captain Steve Embrich: penalty matrix for the vendors, who are operating in bad faith is also outstanding idea, all the way progressive all the way up to a minor fine growing in severity each time. 469 00:50:18.000 --> 00:50:26.220 Captain Steve Embrich: For violations of those of the ordinances and I think that's it unless you have any questions. 470 00:50:28.020 --> 00:50:29.130 Brian Averill: Adult Thank you Captain number. 471 00:50:29.490 --> 00:50:31.140 jim robb: Thank you, thank you, Sarah sorry about that. 472 00:50:32.220 --> 00:50:33.540 jim robb: sorry about the late meeting. 473 00:50:34.110 --> 00:50:34.260 jim robb: I. 474 00:50:34.290 --> 00:50:38.670 jim robb: don't know probably she'd appreciate call me today and we'll get it figured out Thank you, Sir. 475 00:50:39.330 --> 00:50:39.690 Captain Steve Embrich: Thank you. 476 00:50:43.980 --> 00:50:49.560 Brian Averill: Okay, Jim you want to maybe move on to the companies that was a lot to digest for them. 477 00:50:51.060 --> 00:50:54.540 Brian Averill: If anyone from one of the companies has some comments. 478 00:50:55.050 --> 00:50:56.070 jim robb: that's the gym and. 479 00:50:57.120 --> 00:51:00.090 jim robb: Judy comment very quickly and then. 480 00:51:01.140 --> 00:51:07.380 jim robb: You know I think we may want to talk about the boardwalk and then to have these guys come in, so you know. 481 00:51:07.830 --> 00:51:08.370 jim robb: I would say. 482 00:51:08.430 --> 00:51:11.130 jim robb: ocean front walk asked questions about led to. 483 00:51:12.150 --> 00:51:14.880 jim robb: Do T and CD 11 and then we'll get the scooters. 484 00:51:15.240 --> 00:51:17.730 Brian Averill: shirt Jimmy has a question. 485 00:51:22.950 --> 00:51:24.450 Brian Averill: I think his hands up from before. 486 00:51:24.720 --> 00:51:26.580 jim robb: i'm going to put it down that all right. 487 00:51:39.240 --> 00:51:40.560 Brian Averill: Think she's up from before two. 488 00:51:41.940 --> 00:51:45.240 Judy Goldman: No, no, I don't I don't have a public comment. 489 00:51:45.630 --> 00:51:45.870 jim robb: All right. 490 00:51:47.550 --> 00:51:47.910 All right. 491 00:51:49.680 --> 00:51:50.130 jim robb: Okay. 492 00:51:51.810 --> 00:51:57.510 jim robb: Is anybody on our board have comments that they want to or questions Nick. 493 00:51:58.800 --> 00:52:00.600 jim robb: Andrew anybody Robert. 494 00:52:04.170 --> 00:52:04.530 jim robb: Robin. 495 00:52:09.210 --> 00:52:20.010 Robin Rudisill: Who, this question is for, but when the captain was talking it struck me that what if there's some timeline after which any scooter that doesn't have do fence and gets impounded. 496 00:52:20.850 --> 00:52:23.100 Robin Rudisill: You know I just don't know how else we can. 497 00:52:23.340 --> 00:52:27.420 Robin Rudisill: regulate it, that would actually impact the business owner. 498 00:52:28.740 --> 00:52:29.940 Brian Averill: How would you keep track of that. 499 00:52:31.560 --> 00:52:36.090 Robin Rudisill: Well, it visually see that they were not GEO fenced. 500 00:52:37.620 --> 00:52:40.050 Robin Rudisill: I don't know how i'm finding work that's why I didn't really know. 501 00:52:40.320 --> 00:52:41.400 Brian Averill: Question go. 502 00:52:41.790 --> 00:52:52.770 Robin Rudisill: To go to, but it seems like that's something that these other scooter companies would pay attention to I just don't see how we're going to enforce these new rules with them. 503 00:52:55.290 --> 00:53:02.670 jim robb: All right, Robert why don't you ask your question and then, I have one hand up and then maybe if the CD 11. 504 00:53:02.820 --> 00:53:03.510 jim robb: can answer. 505 00:53:03.690 --> 00:53:04.710 jim robb: or one of those guys. 506 00:53:05.310 --> 00:53:12.600 robertthibodeau: have a question for you guys is what's the intent to keep these off of electric as well and push them over the Pacific, because. 507 00:53:14.730 --> 00:53:22.170 robertthibodeau: Pacific seems more dangerous like I could see scooter accidents on Pacific electric Scott, the pedestrians but. 508 00:53:22.740 --> 00:53:37.230 robertthibodeau: Honestly, it seems like is close to the kids on the scooters or kids and it would be a shame to see somebody get hurt you know electric seems a little safer for the scooter kids but i'm just throwing it out there, because I didn't realize, you were kicking them off of electric to. 509 00:53:38.910 --> 00:53:39.510 Robin Rudisill: speedway. 510 00:53:40.890 --> 00:53:44.160 robertthibodeau: Sorry, I said electric I meant speedway my bad Thank you. 511 00:53:47.460 --> 00:53:54.900 jim robb: Oh, my God James that had his hand up besides Jim here, so if you're out there. 512 00:53:55.170 --> 00:53:55.950 James: yeah i'm here. 513 00:53:56.280 --> 00:54:07.020 James: Okay, so i'm just trying to come at this from us solution oriented perspective, and one thing that came to mind, and I know this might be a little ways off, but i've seen those little cocoa delivery. 514 00:54:07.560 --> 00:54:18.180 James: Things in Santa Monica that deliver food, and I was thinking, what if there was a way that the scooters could drive themselves back to a docking or parking station once they were done. 515 00:54:18.780 --> 00:54:24.870 James: So if there's some way that they were almost instead of more like a scooter more like a skateboard with four wheels that also had a handlebar. 516 00:54:25.170 --> 00:54:34.350 James: So they're always up right there never on their sides as much, and then there is able to drive themselves back to wherever they need to be so that it's you know. 517 00:54:35.100 --> 00:54:40.110 James: Wherever they are they're just going to end up where they need to be and then second idea is that. 518 00:54:40.740 --> 00:54:49.200 James: The main use of these is to get from to and from Venice and Santa Monica between the two peers that's the biggest use case that i've seen. 519 00:54:49.680 --> 00:54:56.250 James: And people, of course, want to be by the beach, one of the biggest problems that we had previously, especially in Venice was that. 520 00:54:56.640 --> 00:55:05.880 James: The bike path is just way too narrow Santa Monica it's a little more doable it's a little more usable but in Venice is just too narrow, so if there was a second path. 521 00:55:06.840 --> 00:55:17.490 James: With also speed restrictions something low so that you're not really going that fast you're going maybe the same speed, as some of the other cruiser bikes where people can still go up and down and take that route. 522 00:55:18.030 --> 00:55:29.730 James: But this would be a separate path that they would be able to use that would be less congested than the bike path or the walk path so Those are just to kind of like ideas coming from a solution instead of just the restrictive point of view. 523 00:55:31.050 --> 00:55:32.250 jim robb: Thank you, thank you, James. 524 00:55:33.720 --> 00:55:38.370 jim robb: All right, Eric you're Jose you want to address those. 525 00:55:43.260 --> 00:55:45.360 jim robb: hang on one second mark. 526 00:55:48.060 --> 00:55:51.390 jim robb: Mark i'm you quick question we got it. 527 00:55:52.020 --> 00:56:10.770 Mark Nedlin: yeah in terms of the sex throw away, we have now a an extra special way for the bicycles and there are hundreds of bicycles on the on the boardwalk all the time, why would an extra way, for you know for for the scooters be any different. 528 00:56:12.720 --> 00:56:14.610 jim robb: Okay well take it thanks mark. 529 00:56:16.260 --> 00:56:23.340 jim robb: All right, you guys are up and then we'll go to the the other scooter companies that are pilot Program. 530 00:56:26.130 --> 00:56:38.940 Eric Bruins (CD11): I mean either settings there's some questions about technology and just want to remind folks that there is a real distinction between the private business Catholic calm the mom and POPs that are basically buying the scooters off of. 531 00:56:39.120 --> 00:56:49.080 Eric Bruins (CD11): You know Amazon or whatever and they're just renting them out, you know by by written agreement versus the very, very savvy companies that you have be represented here today. 532 00:56:49.500 --> 00:56:56.760 Eric Bruins (CD11): And those companies are regulated by the city and we're able to you know require them to have certain technology like GPS and God that enables the geo fencing. 533 00:56:57.150 --> 00:57:06.030 Eric Bruins (CD11): And so that's why you see that the strong distinction between the outcomes on the heavy regulation side large company versus mom and pop. 534 00:57:07.080 --> 00:57:14.580 Eric Bruins (CD11): So that so that just kind of is the framing on kind of why solutions are possible on on some piece of this problem that but not necessarily others. 535 00:57:16.680 --> 00:57:17.190 Brian Averill: that's your thing. 536 00:57:19.980 --> 00:57:26.340 jim robb: Alright, so I think that was maybe it for this part of our meeting. 537 00:57:28.560 --> 00:57:32.610 jim robb: How are we going to set this next thing off, is there a presentation that we can have. 538 00:57:33.750 --> 00:57:40.020 jim robb: From the scooter companies or are led it to kick us off or how do we want to do this. 539 00:57:40.350 --> 00:57:49.860 Brian Averill: Now, well, I think the REPS from the scooter companies just got a lot to digest so I suggest we open it up to them and hear what they have to say. 540 00:57:49.980 --> 00:57:56.700 Brian Averill: everyone's been raising issues about them, and I would love for them to have the opportunity to respond. 541 00:57:58.200 --> 00:58:04.590 jim robb: So put your hands up and we'll call you in order if you guys can do that just so we know where we're at. 542 00:58:05.820 --> 00:58:07.650 jim robb: sorry that I put everybody in a. 543 00:58:09.540 --> 00:58:12.540 jim robb: All right, there's mark Morgan, you want to go first. 544 00:58:15.120 --> 00:58:15.780 jim robb: hi Morgan. 545 00:58:16.170 --> 00:58:21.090 Morgan Roth: hey yeah I mean there was a lot to digest there, I appreciate. 546 00:58:22.590 --> 00:58:33.690 Morgan Roth: everyone's feedback, I mean largely you know, I think, where I would kind of couch, the issue is bright, we as companies have been working hand in hand. 547 00:58:35.610 --> 00:58:46.710 Morgan Roth: This is my my little pinging there we've been working together with la do T and the Council office to implement a number of solutions. 548 00:58:48.120 --> 00:58:59.910 Morgan Roth: And, and here we all are tonight bars be talking about issues that we cannot control right but that are actually outside of the program that we're currently in. 549 00:59:00.780 --> 00:59:19.830 Morgan Roth: I think you know i've been you know my first my first week on the job almost three and a half, four years ago, was that Venice neighborhood Council, well before any of the Joe solutions that were available today are were implemented, and we have come a long way, and here we are with. 550 00:59:20.850 --> 00:59:27.810 Morgan Roth: Some stakeholders that that have the ability to circumvent the rules in a way that get pinned on us, and I think. 551 00:59:28.440 --> 00:59:38.040 Morgan Roth: You know, largely because of this community and b O w committee and all the work that we put into this program that we've. 552 00:59:38.790 --> 00:59:47.160 Morgan Roth: tackled a lot of the challenges that we, as the microbial industry have faced in the early days, and I think that is something we should call out and highlight as a positive. 553 00:59:47.760 --> 00:59:55.200 Morgan Roth: Because that's that's government and action and working for the benefit of all of us, which, which I think is a good thing um. 554 00:59:55.770 --> 01:00:03.930 Morgan Roth: You know so again, a lot of digest I I you know put my camera off and wasn't entirely ready with a full blown presentation. 555 01:00:04.800 --> 01:00:14.160 Morgan Roth: You know, but it's always great to see all of your faces and hear about how things are looking and feeling and Venice, as always we're available to the Community. 556 01:00:14.730 --> 01:00:26.010 Morgan Roth: As we always have been, and anything that you all need you know we're again happy to work with the stakeholder group here to implement the right fix to make sure that the Community. 557 01:00:27.030 --> 01:00:31.650 Morgan Roth: Who who you know lives and breathes Venice every single day gets. 558 01:00:33.120 --> 01:00:44.550 Morgan Roth: You know the programs and the policies implemented that really benefit, you know everyone will also you know working toward providing solutions that. 559 01:00:45.720 --> 01:00:53.640 Morgan Roth: You know, get folks out of their cars and and and help with the traffic and congestion in the parking issues that also outside of micro mobility exists with. 560 01:00:53.940 --> 01:01:02.850 Morgan Roth: With with automobiles so i'll leave it there, I you know i'm from bird i've been with bird for for almost four years now working on particularly Venice and other. 561 01:01:03.480 --> 01:01:19.260 Morgan Roth: stuff throughout la so i'm happy to answer any bird related questions, maybe I perhaps Captain some of the thoughts from my other colleagues from other companies but, as always, here, to be resource to you all in this effort to solve a lot of these very. 562 01:01:20.520 --> 01:01:23.340 Morgan Roth: specific issues, so thank you. 563 01:01:24.540 --> 01:01:33.840 jim robb: and ask your question real quick, just like i'm going to ask everybody else there's 150 of year of these devices per scooter company. 564 01:01:34.380 --> 01:01:41.340 jim robb: How many scooters do you have operating in the Venice area, I see a lot of them all stacked up and also. 565 01:01:42.300 --> 01:01:54.780 jim robb: Maybe pick up times for locations like I said before, down there on Washington where there tends to be hundreds of them so and that's that'll be a question for everybody, but I guess you're my first test so. 566 01:01:54.840 --> 01:02:03.090 Morgan Roth: yeah i'll be the first victim here, so what I would say is that the special operations zone, and it has changed recently. 567 01:02:04.140 --> 01:02:09.810 Morgan Roth: So it's actually it should be a greater zone than what we had before, and that was a more recent change. 568 01:02:10.380 --> 01:02:27.750 Morgan Roth: We we we allocate 150 vehicles to the drop zones that we've been permitted to deploy to which is exactly you know what Jose had mentioned those those locations are the only locations, that all of the companies are allowed to drop to we have specific. 569 01:02:29.940 --> 01:02:49.230 Morgan Roth: requirements, you know we cannot deploy I believe it's more than five it's been so long and Kate who is our operations team is who's pinging me that you're right there and but you know what what I would say is you know it's, it is also Venice and we do see a lot of vehicles that get. 570 01:02:50.490 --> 01:03:01.260 Morgan Roth: That come into Venice from outside the special operations, so if you were looking at our fleet count on a Friday night or Saturday night or Sunday afternoon it's going to be greater than 150. 571 01:03:01.920 --> 01:03:10.590 Morgan Roth: And, as all you know who our residents there on the weekend, it can kind of be a little difficult to drive through it or operate. 572 01:03:11.310 --> 01:03:17.250 Morgan Roth: Any site, you know any sort of operations to to capture those vehicles and bring them back out and rebalance them. 573 01:03:18.060 --> 01:03:27.390 Morgan Roth: And so you know, on the weekend we speak openly about this with led ot and they see the efforts that our team puts out over the weekend and. 574 01:03:28.200 --> 01:03:32.760 Morgan Roth: Through you know throughout the day on the weekend to ensure that we we try to get back to that hundred and 50 number. 575 01:03:33.270 --> 01:03:43.110 Morgan Roth: is sometimes we do go past that and that's because many, many, many trips and in Venice and leave this so contrary to what was said before. 576 01:03:43.920 --> 01:03:52.560 Morgan Roth: About only trips in Venice going between Venice and Santa Monica actually a lot of lot of TRIPS just ended men is because y'all have great restaurants. 577 01:03:53.160 --> 01:04:04.500 Morgan Roth: you've got good you know good food good bars and so people will write in from elsewhere and then their vehicle remains, but then we have to contend on our end with the operations. 578 01:04:05.370 --> 01:04:13.560 Morgan Roth: Around traffic to capture those vehicles and bring them out of the soc, so it is a challenge, but we do only allocate 150 vehicles per day. 579 01:04:16.380 --> 01:04:16.860 Brian Averill: Excellent. 580 01:04:19.590 --> 01:04:28.980 jim robb: Jimmy i'm just gonna go down the line for since I see everybody so David fair banks, could you please there you go Thank you. 581 01:04:30.450 --> 01:04:34.920 David Fairbank (Lyft): Sir hi David fairburn comes general manager for California at list. 582 01:04:36.030 --> 01:04:52.050 David Fairbank (Lyft): So I echo a lot of the things Morgan said about you know this program and how we've iterated on it for a long time i've been i've been running this this operation since since it began in 2018 as well, so then through printer at all. 583 01:04:53.190 --> 01:05:02.940 David Fairbank (Lyft): One thing I would like to call out, while we are on this call to you know talk scooters because we have operated scooters and Venice, we do not currently operate scooters and in Venice. 584 01:05:03.690 --> 01:05:11.040 David Fairbank (Lyft): And we haven't since July so i'm you know happy to answer any questions, but we don't currently have a scooter operation. 585 01:05:13.110 --> 01:05:14.100 David Fairbank (Lyft): We operate for the reason. 586 01:05:15.270 --> 01:05:16.710 jim robb: For bikes are you guys. 587 01:05:17.460 --> 01:05:23.340 jim robb: To the same rule that there's only 150 allowed in the district, or does that same thing go for you and I. 588 01:05:23.340 --> 01:05:23.610 Will. 589 01:05:24.810 --> 01:05:31.410 David Fairbank (Lyft): yeah So it goes for bikes I will say we actually don't deploy bikes to Venice at all so because of specifically because of. 590 01:05:32.460 --> 01:05:50.160 David Fairbank (Lyft): The five to 10am deployment role, we would generally like to you know rebalance throughout the day, but that will really makes it so it's it's challenging for us to you know, keep it really clean clean we've kind of wanted to point out because of that. 591 01:05:51.450 --> 01:05:55.740 David Fairbank (Lyft): So bikes do end up in Venice, but we don't you don't have to redeploy for that reason. 592 01:05:56.820 --> 01:05:57.420 David Fairbank (Lyft): Okay, and. 593 01:05:57.600 --> 01:06:02.190 jim robb: With either your other lift people like to be unmuted to tell their sides of. 594 01:06:02.280 --> 01:06:03.030 what's going on. 595 01:06:05.190 --> 01:06:18.060 David Fairbank (Lyft): I think we're probably good with one voice, but i'm happy to introduce James James postures are sort of California operations managers online and then our Los Angeles operations managers online as well lauren Center all right. 596 01:06:18.630 --> 01:06:19.440 David Fairbank (Lyft): we're happy to. 597 01:06:20.670 --> 01:06:22.560 David Fairbank (Lyft): yeah questions at the end so we'll. 598 01:06:22.860 --> 01:06:23.730 David Fairbank (Lyft): just keep them on the. 599 01:06:23.880 --> 01:06:24.960 jim robb: thing, as long as they can. 600

You may say Morgan wrong. 611 01:07:05.400 --> 01:07:06.570 Jacob Mandel: Just because we're it just. 612 01:07:06.570 --> 01:07:08.790 Jacob Mandel: Because we're looking we're looking at you Morgan.

01:07:23.370 --> 01:07:30.870 Sharon Zhang - Superpedestrian: We currently have you know, since we are newer operators to the space we currently have about 130 vehicles currently deployed in Venice. 618 01:07:31.290 --> 01:07:44.730 Sharon Zhang - Superpedestrian: Our intentions, of course, to kind of approach more towards kind of later on, but currently we're currently at 130 but if there's any

--> 01:07:59.520 jim robb: Pretty hot welcome to Venice. 625 01:08:01.590 --> 01:08:03.720 jim robb: Alright, so let's. 626 01:08:04.800 --> 01:08:08.910 jim robb: let's get alister curtis with wheels. 627 01:08:14.880 --> 01:08:25.440 Alastair Curtis (Wheels): Everyone Alistair here GM for four wheels in southern California so just like to also echo everything that that Morgan and the rest of my colleagues have stated, so thank you, I appreciate that. 628 01:08:26.520 --> 01:08:34.530 Alastair Curtis (Wheels): We are by family by the rules will never go above 150 at any given time where we're 24 hours, seven days a week operation. 629 01:08:35.700 --> 01:08:49.860 Alastair Curtis (Wheels): We have folks patrolling Venice 24 seven as well, to make sure that nothing is on the beach both will ocean front work and we do pride ourselves in in doing a pretty having a pretty slick operation in that regard. 630 01:08:51.030 --> 01:09:02.070 Alastair Curtis (Wheels): In great events we probably have anything between 15 another hundred devices in great events at any one time, depending on the inflow and outflow but we work very closely with Jose and his team. 631 01:09:03.510 --> 01:09:05.370 Alastair Curtis (Wheels): yeah and happy to answer any other questions. 632 01:09:07.680 --> 01:09:31.170 jim robb: A quick question for everybody, then I guess so is the 23rd to staging districts different than all event is going down to the I guess the Marina peninsula and whatever we got only Easter Easter Lincoln so, is it only and specific drops so an area that you guys were talking about. 633 01:09:35.790 --> 01:09:40.500 jim robb: I guess Morgan sets your pretty faces air your you get an answer that question. 634 01:09:41.220 --> 01:09:47.550 Morgan Roth: yeah I would defer to Jose in La do T but and I don't have the Venice mapping. 635 01:09:48.600 --> 01:09:48.930 Morgan Roth: So. 636 01:09:52.980 --> 01:09:53.340 1609****346: We. 637 01:09:55.980 --> 01:09:56.130 Morgan Roth: Do you. 638 01:09:56.520 --> 01:09:57.150 1609****346: want me to be. 639 01:09:58.440 --> 01:10:02.100 Morgan Roth: There yeah um so we, there is a special operations in. 640 01:10:03.240 --> 01:10:23.340 Morgan Roth: in Venice much of you know, actually all all of the boardwalk all of you know oceanfront walk in the walk streets up to I believe now beyond added Kenny, is included and but, but the rest of Venice, you would would fall into the same regulations that just the general. 641 01:10:24.540 --> 01:10:27.330 Morgan Roth: Shared mobility program the general rules. 642 01:10:28.440 --> 01:10:35.280 Morgan Roth: But in the SEC, yes, we have this drop zones, we have 150 kaplan that we've got the as. 643 01:10:36.720 --> 01:10:46.230 Morgan Roth: As was mentioned we've got the five to 10am deployment time time frame and all those special rules that only apply they're not for the rest of Venice okay. 644 01:10:46.470 --> 01:10:48.150 jim robb: Thank you, thank you, Morgan. 645 01:10:49.260 --> 01:11:02.790 jim robb: And Jose if you guys are still on there, that would be a good question for like Robert thibodeau because he's on the call you know parking and transportation, so we kind of want to know you know total in Venice baby going down Lincoln boulevard as well, so. 646 01:11:04.260 --> 01:11:07.050 jim robb: We can have your questions later let's go to. 647 01:11:08.640 --> 01:11:23.520 jim robb: let's go to Nick from Vo which is not in Venice at the moment, but I invited him cuz I got a sneaking suspicion and I see his scooters are they got to mobility devices so. 648 01:11:24.120 --> 01:11:25.680 Nick Efron | Veo: Hello hello, yes. 649 01:11:25.710 --> 01:11:33.630 Nick Efron | Veo: Thank Thank you Jim last time I spoke to you, you are on your way to knott's berry farm so i'm glad you, you made it back in one piece um. 650 01:11:34.140 --> 01:11:41.970 Nick Efron | Veo: It was my full intention to be a fly on the wall for this meeting because, like Jim mentioned, we deploy zero vehicles in Venice um. 651 01:11:42.300 --> 01:11:51.480 Nick Efron | Veo: We do not currently have a permit for the city of La, although I don't think it's an industry secret that we are looking to pull a permit in La. 652 01:11:51.870 --> 01:11:58.980 Nick Efron | Veo: Eventually, I don't know when we still need to crossing t's and dotting the i's internally before we like that match arm but. 653 01:11:59.850 --> 01:12:11.520 Nick Efron | Veo: You will occasionally see our vehicles in Venice, that is because we deploy solely in Santa Monica arm and we do have a few writers, who will inadvertently cross that southern border into Venice. 654 01:12:12.060 --> 01:12:20.400 Nick Efron | Veo: And even though we have to create GEO fences in place, we have all the technology in place, even though our devices will power down and there will be unrecognized. 655 01:12:20.970 --> 01:12:35.220 Nick Efron | Veo: arm folks will still choose to sort of kick their device in the side of the road, rather than bring it back to Santa Monica so it's it's our goal, obviously, to pick up those devices as quickly as we can and bring them back home to Santa Monica um but you know we can't. 656 01:12:36.270 --> 01:12:46.350 Nick Efron | Veo: be everywhere at one time arm, but please, if you do have any concerns about the way that we are operating just the north up feel free to give me a shout out here to help. 657 01:12:48.150 --> 01:12:48.750 Brian Averill: expect. 658 01:12:49.380 --> 01:12:58.380 jim robb: It all right let's go I don't think carla's gotta speak get with lime. 659 01:13:00.750 --> 01:13:01.080 jim robb: or Allah. 660 01:13:03.390 --> 01:13:14.070 Karla Owunwanne (Lime): hi there Hello wanna I am with lime hi there, so I also have been with line for three years now, I don't mind since October 2018 so. 661 01:13:14.370 --> 01:13:21.720 Karla Owunwanne (Lime): have been wanting to spend in the program since before even the pilot period we operate under the conditional use permit. 662 01:13:22.110 --> 01:13:42.780 Karla Owunwanne (Lime): In 2018, and I mean basically you can just echo what everybody else has said, we also are like everybody else capped at 103 vehicles, we have our threshold set at that, so that our staff does not deploy more than 150 we CAP it to 500 to five vehicles per drop zone. 663 01:13:44.580 --> 01:13:54.660 Karla Owunwanne (Lime): We rebalance throughout the day and as we get through one complaints we make sure that we stay within that two hour period that led to requires out of all operators. 664 01:13:55.260 --> 01:14:10.140 Karla Owunwanne (Lime): And, and yet the, you will see some vehicles going in and out just because, as everyone else says Venice is a really high ratio court or where we see folks continuously writing vehicles in from outside of Venice so. 665 01:14:10.470 --> 01:14:17.490 Karla Owunwanne (Lime): While we do not deploy more than 150 vehicles throughout the day there is there are vehicles aligning in and out of the area. 666 01:14:19.170 --> 01:14:19.380 well. 667 01:14:20.940 --> 01:14:21.630 Brian Averill: let's go. 668 01:14:23.790 --> 01:14:28.950 jim robb: um I don't know if we're missing anybody if we're missing anybody. 669 01:14:30.000 --> 01:14:34.380 jim robb: Did we talk to Jacob, or are you one of the scooter companies as well or did we get everybody. 670 01:14:35.550 --> 01:14:36.360 Brian Averill: Thank you got everybody. 671 01:14:37.290 --> 01:14:50.160 jim robb: So maybe we'll have Eric and Jose tell us if we did get everybody that's with the pilot program and answer some questions, and I would like my committee could swing since we. 672 01:14:50.910 --> 01:14:58.620 jim robb: Talk about ocean print for you guys to have some questions for these everybody, including the authorized scooter companies. 673 01:14:59.820 --> 01:15:00.390 jim robb: So. 674 01:15:03.510 --> 01:15:03.900 Brian Averill: Good. 675 01:15:05.220 --> 01:15:06.000 jim robb: Are you saying, Brian. 676 01:15:06.900 --> 01:15:11.100 Brian Averill: I was gonna say let's just open it up to the ocean from walk committee see if anyone has questions. 677 01:15:11.130 --> 01:15:16.830 jim robb: We got Kerry which is not so i'm allowed her to talk right now, because she's intercall so go ahead carrie. 678 01:15:18.180 --> 01:15:19.530 cari devine bjelajac: hey guys, can you hear me OK. 679 01:15:21.330 --> 01:15:28.920 cari devine bjelajac: OK hi guys um I just I think I want to make a statement rather than ask a question, because i'm listening to this and i'm living through this. 680 01:15:29.520 --> 01:15:41.220 cari devine bjelajac: And i'm just gonna say there are a few things going on here, there are several scooter and electric vehicle companies that operate their businesses and best, which is our neighborhood. 681 01:15:41.880 --> 01:15:49.710 cari devine bjelajac: They make money operating their businesses in our neighborhood they utilize our infrastructure, our residential streets that are thoroughfares to make their dime. 682 01:15:50.400 --> 01:15:59.310 cari devine bjelajac: These scooters are posing a hazard and a nuisance to our neighborhoods and the people who live here, and these companies, give nothing back to our neighborhoods. 683 01:16:00.750 --> 01:16:01.560 cari devine bjelajac: that's my statement. 684 01:16:04.140 --> 01:16:16.050 jim robb: Yes, I think there's other people that would probably agree so figure that out and i'm sure Nick Nick would like to get in on this call Nick. 685 01:16:17.790 --> 01:16:18.990 jim robb: I thought I saw you. 686 01:16:26.730 --> 01:16:27.750 jim robb: Now you got that Nick. 687 01:16:27.750 --> 01:16:29.850 Nick Efron | Veo: Not your now okay just make. 688 01:16:32.280 --> 01:16:33.330 1609****346: yeah can you hear me now. 689 01:16:33.960 --> 01:16:34.950 Yes, yes. 690 01:16:36.540 --> 01:16:39.300 1609****346: Jim can you hear me I can hear you next. 691 01:16:40.530 --> 01:16:43.470 1609****346: Okay, I had a colon because i'm having computer problems. 692 01:16:45.570 --> 01:16:53.880 1609****346: Things that concerns me is everyone who's a vendor to Venice keeps on rewriting the same thing, which is, we only have a certain amount of. 693 01:16:54.930 --> 01:17:03.120 1609****346: scooters of devices that are invented but they're not telling anyone is how many of these devices are migrating to Venice. 694 01:17:03.630 --> 01:17:14.010 1609****346: and ending up in Venice so it's not seven or 800 it's probably more like 1500 to 2000 last night I walked from the Venice Pier. 695 01:17:14.580 --> 01:17:33.060 1609****346: to clone which is six blocks, I can have 265 vehicles parked along the way, with dozens in front of the venison hotel dozens in front of various real estate offices dozens all over the. 696 01:17:34.590 --> 01:17:48.390 1609****346: streets of Washington and it's a mess and you know I want to reiterate what the other person said about they give absolutely nothing to Venice, which is absolutely true we've become a parking lot. 697 01:17:49.470 --> 01:18:03.390 1609****346: For these vehicles and they're creating just as much pollution as being cabinets are, in my mind, because i've been on these calls now for three or four years and i've been on this committee couple of years and. 698 01:18:03.960 --> 01:18:12.120 1609****346: it's the same problem over and over again, and I wrote an article for yo Venice, you know detailing these problems. 699 01:18:12.810 --> 01:18:24.030 1609****346: And it just seems like it's like you know there's there's a pot, and the steam coming from the pot, we take the lid off, and then we put the lid back on but nothing really changes. 700 01:18:25.110 --> 01:18:37.320 1609****346: So i'd like some of these companies to address, why are all these devices allowed to come here, if you already have several hundred here already. 701 01:18:38.880 --> 01:18:49.290 1609****346: And why isn't there any kind of action plan for you guys to create and I have an I have an agenda item on the agenda to create a separate. 702 01:18:50.190 --> 01:18:57.240 1609****346: scooter from the Venice appear to the Venice to this Santa Monica border that you people should pay for. 703 01:18:58.230 --> 01:19:08.280 1609****346: Because it's unfair to those who ride on the bike path, who are writing manual bikes with children or with additions on them. 704 01:19:08.790 --> 01:19:22.230 1609****346: they're they're running at a much slower pace, and then you have your vehicles were going 2030 miles an hour and there are huge problem and again this is never addressed. 705 01:19:22.860 --> 01:19:39.300 1609****346: At all now because a coven was had a decrease in ridership obviously but, as we can, medical, this needs to be addressed you guys need your own separate path from the peer to send them off and you should be paying for it. 706 01:19:40.410 --> 01:19:58.110 1609****346: Not the people that it's not the people Los Angeles, you should be paying for it should be your own separate and i'd like to get some some commentary on this motion from the scooter vendors, because the last speaker is absolutely right, you guys take you don't give back, thank you. 707 01:20:00.990 --> 01:20:07.530 jim robb: hold off of the questions for just one second is there anybody else in the online that would like to speak in the. 708 01:20:07.560 --> 01:20:09.210 jim robb: meeting that we didn't promote. 709 01:20:09.540 --> 01:20:12.450 jim robb: like to speak Robin. 710 01:20:12.660 --> 01:20:14.790 1609****346: You got mark here mark. 711 01:20:15.870 --> 01:20:16.950 Brian Averill: yeah let me unmute him. 712 01:20:18.270 --> 01:20:19.440 Brian Averill: Marco for. 713 01:20:20.940 --> 01:20:21.630 Mark Nedlin: Okay, thank you. 714 01:20:22.530 --> 01:20:25.170 Mark Nedlin: Regarding the point about another path. 715 01:20:25.620 --> 01:20:26.520 Mark Nedlin: i'm not sure. 716 01:20:26.730 --> 01:20:28.020 1609****346: Why, given the fact that. 717 01:20:28.050 --> 01:20:29.400 Mark Nedlin: we've got a bike bad we have. 718 01:20:29.400 --> 01:20:31.050 1609****346: Hundreds of bicycles right now the boardwalk. 719 01:20:31.230 --> 01:20:32.850 1609****346: Why this would be any different i'd. 720 01:20:32.850 --> 01:20:33.900 Mark Nedlin: love to hear it, but. 721 01:20:34.200 --> 01:20:34.650 1609****346: i'm just. 722 01:20:34.710 --> 01:20:35.910 Mark Nedlin: not convinced at all. 723 01:20:36.270 --> 01:20:37.680 1609****346: And a broader question for. 724 01:20:37.680 --> 01:20:38.790 1609****346: The scooter companies. 725 01:20:38.820 --> 01:20:53.820 Mark Nedlin: I mean, my understanding is that you sort of your business model was sold to you know the public sector, the government is something that would drive down automotive traffic right we do is cars on the road that you did the scooter was going to. 726 01:20:53.820 --> 01:20:55.530 1609****346: be a substitute for cars. 727 01:20:55.890 --> 01:21:11.280 Mark Nedlin: What i'm seeing instead is that the scooters becoming a substitute for walking and and basically This to me tells me that that the entire way that this this business model was sold to public officials and to put the public itself. 728 01:21:11.610 --> 01:21:13.830 Mark Nedlin: is potentially either. 729 01:21:14.250 --> 01:21:26.340 Mark Nedlin: You know, turned out to be an accurate or was knowingly you know if spoon fed is a false what I mean I have we have here and i'm surprised to have this, we have a company which calls itself. 730 01:21:26.550 --> 01:21:27.900 Mark Nedlin: super pedestrian. 731 01:21:28.560 --> 01:21:31.050 Mark Nedlin: This is this is to me this name is just the. 732 01:21:31.050 --> 01:21:43.500 Mark Nedlin: brazen acknowledgement that the fact is that the scooter companies know that they're not substituting for cars that there's substituting for walking in there, basically they're basically using. 733 01:21:43.650 --> 01:21:45.960 Call-In User_1: That as a sort of. 734 01:21:46.170 --> 01:21:59.100 Mark Nedlin: As a fraudulent claims on on public space and and and under public goodwill that somehow they're going to substitute for cars when they're in fact substituting for people walking in creating massive nuisance and danger. 735 01:21:59.580 --> 01:22:10.290 Mark Nedlin: Remember there's no cars allowed on ocean front walk and yet there are hundreds of scooters writing there, these people are substituting for walking Thank you. 736 01:22:11.280 --> 01:22:11.970 Brian Averill: For next month. 737 01:22:12.750 --> 01:22:13.350 yeah. 738 01:22:15.390 --> 01:22:16.200 jim robb: Andrew micah. 739 01:22:19.110 --> 01:22:27.450 Andrew Mika: yeah, I just wanted to second what Nick and Kerry said I guess that's third I think these companies should have to get back to banish we're basically a parking lot for them, thank you. 740 01:22:29.850 --> 01:22:30.450 jim robb: We can hit. 741 01:22:30.630 --> 01:22:32.940 jim robb: yeah hopefully we can have Jose and Eric. 742 01:22:34.140 --> 01:22:47.550 jim robb: Instead of Morgan have to talk on these comments, because, especially Jose you know that's this is your the pilot program the city's doing but i'm gonna let Sean speak real quick only one more hand. 743 01:22:48.270 --> 01:22:49.020 Brian Averill: yeah that's it. 744 01:22:49.740 --> 01:22:51.540 jim robb: Okay Sean you're in there. 745 01:22:51.870 --> 01:23:04.740 Sean obrien: yeah hey thanks guys oh yeah this was sold to the public, it was supposed to be, for you know the last mile so you know it's you know going to the bus stop going to the metro station, so you don't need a car. 746 01:23:05.880 --> 01:23:21.090 Sean obrien: The scooter companies can't be held responsible, how the public is using it, but they they can help in regulating it, as we all know it, especially in Venice a this is purely recreation. 747 01:23:21.420 --> 01:23:25.230 Sean obrien: that's all it is a they're drawn to it, because they can ride. 748 01:23:25.260 --> 01:23:37.890 Sean obrien: Double two people on a scooter they do with by they do some of them do go very fast and that's the joy of it, you know you cruise down you look at the beach and look at all the people. 749 01:23:38.460 --> 01:23:47.280 Sean obrien: Going you know you know up to 20 miles an hour, if not faster so it's purely recreational in Venice. 750 01:23:47.850 --> 01:23:55.680 Sean obrien: um and I agree that they need to give back, I thought it was a novel idea when it first came out and i'm sick of it now. 751 01:23:56.610 --> 01:24:12.990 Sean obrien: You know it letters, all you know the public streets like everybody's complained about like the parking and they do the company's all of them do a horrible job in retrieving their vehicles their scooters so i'd like to see that addressed as well, but thanks guys. 752 01:24:13.590 --> 01:24:14.220 Brian Averill: Thank you Sean. 753 01:24:14.580 --> 01:24:17.460 jim robb: Thank you Sean anybody else from the committee Peter. 754 01:24:19.980 --> 01:24:23.580 peter: um my only comment is about. 755 01:24:24.270 --> 01:24:25.920 1609****346: The docking stations. 756 01:24:25.950 --> 01:24:26.460 Of. 757 01:24:27.660 --> 01:24:40.770 peter: Like we're we're going to be able to put these things I know they put some stickers on them and stuff, but we have some major areas where we know people drop them off and we maybe we should encourage them to drop them off over there. 758 01:24:41.820 --> 01:24:55.380 peter: near the Pier and set up because that's that's a big hub area for me over at the Pier so maybe if they could keep that edge of Venice, which is the north side Washington boulevard in mind. 759 01:24:56.790 --> 01:25:11.220 peter: I guess, this would be directed to Jose now once again, we have to remember that, like most things it's going to take a couple years for the district attorney or at least a year to start to. 760 01:25:13.140 --> 01:25:26.280 peter: go through all the information and figure out what kind of fines and stuff so this isn't going to happen real quick, so I think as the ocean front walk committee is concerned, we should we should partner up with all of our. 761 01:25:27.450 --> 01:25:28.290 peter: scooter. 762 01:25:30.750 --> 01:25:36.360 peter: scooter representatives here in Venice, and we should be out to letting people know that. 763 01:25:36.690 --> 01:25:45.540 peter: You can we, we, as the ocean front walk should throw on a vest like I do and say hey slow down or no, you sorry you can't right here. 764 01:25:45.810 --> 01:26:01.860 peter: We need to be proactive as individuals and not depend so much on the scooter companies because we live here, and you know we can blow whistle at someone we can we can let people know what's going on, maybe know scooter on a T shirt or something like that, and then. 765 01:26:02.100 --> 01:26:03.450 peter: We saturate the. 766 01:26:04.230 --> 01:26:09.840 peter: We saturate the boardwalk that's my two minutes more or less i'm sure I have more but i'm stopping right there. 767 01:26:11.550 --> 01:26:13.830 jim robb: I have that shirt but the scooter company wouldn't. 768 01:26:13.830 --> 01:26:16.470 jim robb: Like the shirt so I didn't wear today. 769 01:26:17.220 --> 01:26:20.820 peter: Well, we can get together with them have the scooters on oh so. 770 01:26:20.820 --> 01:26:21.210 jim robb: I think. 771 01:26:21.660 --> 01:26:23.400 peter: it's a great I think. 772 01:26:23.460 --> 01:26:24.960 peter: it's all about educate. 773 01:26:25.410 --> 01:26:39.990 jim robb: A great idea, I think that nisa should have been on here with the bid since their major part of the whole situation and I think they should, I think they should have their people also telling nicely since they're. 774 01:26:41.460 --> 01:26:56.820 jim robb: You know they're a piece of us to the to the tourist there what they see and they should be an outreach to the tourist, like the other ocean, the other bids are and help people with all kinds of stuff so you know, I think it is a group effort, and I think we need bid. 775 01:26:57.150 --> 01:26:57.540 In La. 776 01:26:59.520 --> 01:27:04.440 jim robb: and CD 11 all to be part of it so thanks Peter Noel go ahead. 777 01:27:04.920 --> 01:27:22.950 Noel Johnston: i'm i'm wondering if the Washington square big big the business improvement groups is involved in this at all, because I know that there are a lot of the otters down there are concerned with it, but they have never been real active in the vm said. 778 01:27:24.660 --> 01:27:36.030 Noel Johnston: I think would be great if they spoke up on the subject, I you know I live on the ocean front walk at the very North end or I didn't tell my place burned, but. 779 01:27:37.020 --> 01:27:51.660 Noel Johnston: I think the the traffic, the scooter traffic walk is still pretty bad it's not as bad as it once was, but it doesn't benefit anybody that lives alone oceanfront walk at all. 780 01:27:52.140 --> 01:28:00.450 Noel Johnston: I mean there's there's absolutely no no benefit to a residence, I think there might be some benefits to a business, I mean. 781 01:28:01.470 --> 01:28:12.300 Noel Johnston: The scooters get people to the shops and stores along knob boardwalk and restaurants and so on, but I, I really think that it. 782 01:28:13.590 --> 01:28:18.690 Noel Johnston: it's it's become a strange thing because it was pitched to us as a last mile. 783 01:28:19.410 --> 01:28:30.210 Noel Johnston: service and of course it's become nothing of the kind at all, and I think most of the residents have grown to dislike it I used to when they first came out and I thought they were kind of fun, but. 784 01:28:30.690 --> 01:28:45.930 Noel Johnston: I just don't see our residents using them, and I think it to build up a certain animosity among the residents, all together, and I think it will continue to so there's i'd be interested to see if nisa can figure that one out, I mean. 785 01:28:46.440 --> 01:28:46.830 Noel Johnston: How. 786 01:28:47.520 --> 01:28:49.920 Noel Johnston: How do you get around that one yeah. 787 01:28:50.160 --> 01:29:03.270 jim robb: that's a tough tough for the lapd lapd lapd we got too many layers here thanks Noel alright Jose, I would like you and Eric to if you're still here to possibly come in and tell us. 788 01:29:04.320 --> 01:29:05.580 jim robb: about the questions that. 789 01:29:05.640 --> 01:29:06.390 jim robb: People had. 790 01:29:07.080 --> 01:29:09.150 Brian Averill: Some closing comments guys if. 791 01:29:09.150 --> 01:29:09.660 Brian Averill: You have any. 792 01:29:10.830 --> 01:29:11.340 Yes. 793 01:29:12.600 --> 01:29:13.380 Jose Elias: Or we just. 794 01:29:13.770 --> 01:29:14.280 1609****346: we've been. 795 01:29:15.030 --> 01:29:29.070 Jose Elias: listening and taking notes so we're just going to report back to to jarvis on our team and talk about some of the comments and concerns from from the Community and see what kind of solutions we come up with from the initial. 796 01:29:30.780 --> 01:29:35.580 Jose Elias: data that we have see we do see a majority of the TRIPS beginning to end, that a. 797 01:29:36.810 --> 01:29:50.580 Jose Elias: menace and Washington, but I understand that there are concerns when we do try to put parking location parking in any of those locations, so I don't know if there's any any sponsor anything that the committee will feel comfortable with. 798 01:29:51.630 --> 01:29:56.100 Jose Elias: In those locations, but um yeah, I just wanted to start those conversations as well. 799 01:29:57.450 --> 01:30:07.470 jim robb: I have one right, I have one right now that you guys could be helpful, with that is the safety park valet parkers that I don't know are permitted. 800 01:30:07.950 --> 01:30:16.680 jim robb: To even be doing the business that they're doing down here, but we have spots like it sugar that's empty at night, which would instead of all these. 801 01:30:17.130 --> 01:30:28.980 jim robb: scooters being dumped right at the corner of Pacific in North Dennis maybe CD 11 could work with safety parks that controls all the parking lots in Venice. 802 01:30:29.430 --> 01:30:40.380 jim robb: To see if there would be somewhere to stage these things bigger I know they have parking lots down in Washington, I know they have a parking lot on Windward. 803 01:30:40.740 --> 01:30:57.540 jim robb: pretty much every parking lot that's in Venice is ran by them, so I would just like to know if since they're allowed to do all the valet parking in Venice why they couldn't partner with these guys and we could corral these things so that they look appropriate for the tourists and. 804 01:30:57.570 --> 01:31:00.990 jim robb: everybody else, and I think bed should be helping as well. 805 01:31:00.990 --> 01:31:02.970 jim robb: So just my comment. 806 01:31:04.950 --> 01:31:05.820 Brian Averill: Okay, it was a. 807 01:31:06.930 --> 01:31:07.350 1609****346: Yes. 808 01:31:09.030 --> 01:31:09.900 jim robb: Go ahead go ahead. 809 01:31:10.020 --> 01:31:19.500 1609****346: Jim yes, I just want to make one point, as an example of giving back so all the vendors have a clear understanding, where i'm coming from. 810 01:31:21.750 --> 01:31:34.020 1609****346: Peter and Noel can attest to this, let there's been a series of these movie nights on the Pier and one vendor himself paid thousands and thousands of dollars to rent. 811 01:31:34.650 --> 01:31:45.870 1609****346: A big screen, so people could watch the movies and it's things like that that if you were more involved in the Community, will you help subsidize events like that. 812 01:31:46.470 --> 01:31:53.910 1609****346: that people would be more amenable to the headache of having the scooters because at least they would say well. 813 01:31:54.510 --> 01:32:01.410 1609****346: You know, we have a lot of scooters year because we're a resort community, but at the same time they're active in the Community. 814 01:32:01.830 --> 01:32:09.930 1609****346: they're active in the Vinci we're having this upcoming Halloween thing that's coming up on the 31st and you guys are nowhere to be found. 815 01:32:10.650 --> 01:32:22.200 1609****346: So that's the kind of an example of being involved in the Community and supporting events Venice Community events that would change your people's perception of you. 816 01:32:23.490 --> 01:32:25.980 jim robb: That are this go in this one real quick I know. 817 01:32:25.980 --> 01:32:26.220 jim robb: That. 818 01:32:26.700 --> 01:32:31.170 jim robb: I think it was bird and a couple of them in the beginning, did some stuff at the. 819 01:32:32.040 --> 01:32:40.080 jim robb: street lighting down on Windward and some other stuff, but I think it needs, I think all you guys need to be a little bit more proactive. 820 01:32:40.530 --> 01:32:55.080 jim robb: With having your people if they're down here granting scooter I you know getting paid a drop them off that they could be you know helpful and saying hey you know we can't talk it here there's you know I think everybody needs to pitch enter this thing will be way out of control. 821 01:32:56.580 --> 01:33:03.180 jim robb: And i'll let Jose speak next on any thoughts that led ot can help us with this. 822 01:33:03.630 --> 01:33:06.930 Brian Averill: Jose spoke, I think, maybe Eric if you want to. 823 01:33:07.860 --> 01:33:08.610 jim robb: Think Eric just. 824 01:33:12.270 --> 01:33:21.270 Eric Bruins (CD11): Maybe i'll kind of close this out, I mean, I think I really appreciated that the conversation tonight i've been taking some notes on on different ideas. 825 01:33:21.720 --> 01:33:30.360 Eric Bruins (CD11): And I you know I do thank the Community for your continued participation, and you know, for better for worse, you guys were kind of details on this. 826 01:33:30.600 --> 01:33:32.580 Eric Bruins (CD11): And I think you know, hopefully tonight's presentation. 827 01:33:32.580 --> 01:33:37.590 Eric Bruins (CD11): did show that we have implemented a lot of ideas that have come out of this group. 828 01:33:38.580 --> 01:33:47.460 Eric Bruins (CD11): Including the the geo fencing the the various special operations own requirements, and you know the Venice school market is probably the most tightly regulated. 829 01:33:48.270 --> 01:33:53.580 Eric Bruins (CD11): scooter market in probably the country and thread that vendors would would confirm with that. 830 01:33:54.390 --> 01:34:05.040 Eric Bruins (CD11): It is it is incredibly strict operate here there obviously still some things that we can get better, and so you know the conversations like this are the way that we will do that, so thank you all very much. 831 01:34:05.730 --> 01:34:16.200 jim robb: and real quickly one more thing you know I know the walk streets noel's happy because they're up by her and all that, but you guys were testing the testing the. 832 01:34:16.710 --> 01:34:26.640 jim robb: Down speeds on the geo fencing in that area myself, I live on 20th street which is right next to Venice North Venice boulevard. 833 01:34:27.120 --> 01:34:40.620 jim robb: And they still charge down these at full speed and I think Robin that's on the call is still having the same issue to with the once you get past speedway between speedway and Pacific, you know. 834 01:34:40.860 --> 01:34:44.850 jim robb: we're still getting scooters coming down from everybody on all the streets so. 835 01:34:45.690 --> 01:34:48.120 jim robb: How much further, are they going to go down to. 836 01:34:48.960 --> 01:34:49.170 1609****346: To. 837 01:34:49.200 --> 01:34:50.880 1609****346: Make sure all the walk streets, all the way. 838 01:34:50.880 --> 01:34:51.210 down. 839 01:34:54.780 --> 01:34:57.030 Jose Elias: about the walk straight south of Washington. 840 01:34:57.780 --> 01:35:03.330 jim robb: Talking about the one North event North Venice boulevard I still get them coming down here. 841 01:35:05.040 --> 01:35:07.530 jim robb: Is it GEO fence with all these guys. 842 01:35:09.000 --> 01:35:11.400 Jose Elias: Milica talk offline about the exact location i'm. 843 01:35:11.970 --> 01:35:12.300 Jose Elias: Not. 844 01:35:12.840 --> 01:35:14.340 jim robb: too familiar with behind. 845 01:35:14.610 --> 01:35:16.290 1609****346: Behind the powerball courts but. 846 01:35:17.880 --> 01:35:24.030 jim robb: So I should be in that district alright, well, we can talk offline i'm glad you guys both took notes. 847 01:35:25.230 --> 01:35:32.010 jim robb: One last question for y'all when are we going to have a another update from you, and when can we get the rest of the scooter companies. 848 01:35:33.090 --> 01:35:38.070 jim robb: Back to you know I think these are helpful, I would hope that all the. 849 01:35:38.100 --> 01:35:39.600 jim robb: scooter companies think so as. 850 01:35:39.600 --> 01:35:43.470 jim robb: Well, and you know I want to set something up, probably in the next. 851 01:35:44.610 --> 01:35:48.870 jim robb: four to six months again just to check in and see what we've accomplished. 852 01:35:51.330 --> 01:35:51.840 Jose Elias: And that works. 853 01:35:53.490 --> 01:35:55.620 jim robb: Alright scooter companies that good with you. 854 01:35:58.800 --> 01:36:01.620 jim robb: i'll take silence as a yes, I did. 855 01:36:01.860 --> 01:36:05.250 Morgan Roth: yeah I do think that I think that is a. 856 01:36:05.340 --> 01:36:07.380 Morgan Roth: good for us and what I would say, though. 857 01:36:08.430 --> 01:36:15.090 Morgan Roth: Is there is a lot that has happened, particularly for Venice what has not been called out tonight is. 858 01:36:15.390 --> 01:36:18.240 Morgan Roth: The new fee structure in the new Program. 859 01:36:19.350 --> 01:36:22.530 Morgan Roth: For which and Jose correct me if i'm wrong and from. 860 01:36:23.730 --> 01:36:30.180 Morgan Roth: An application perspective, what has been implemented in Venice is is unique to the whole city actually. 861 01:36:31.410 --> 01:36:39.180 Morgan Roth: Much much to do with a lot of this, you know this committees work and the dnc at large is work in the space. 862 01:36:39.990 --> 01:36:54.510 Morgan Roth: And you know, yes we're happy to continue to have these conversations, as we, as we will continue to probably have for the duration of scooters being on the ground and protect you and you're perpetually in Los Angeles. 863 01:36:55.860 --> 01:37:09.330 Morgan Roth: You know, but but Venice Venice from nick's comments, a few others comments I mean there's the resources that are allocated to the micro mobility program and where they actually end up on the ground. 864 01:37:10.920 --> 01:37:11.340 1609****346: Are. 865 01:37:11.370 --> 01:37:13.290 Morgan Roth: fairly exclusively to Venice. 866 01:37:14.550 --> 01:37:19.980 Morgan Roth: And there's 99 other city, you know neighborhood Councils throughout the city, many of which. 867 01:37:21.030 --> 01:37:32.910 Morgan Roth: Who don't have these conversations and have not gotten the infrastructure, so you know there's a lot to be said about your work in this at our work collectively in this. 868 01:37:33.960 --> 01:37:42.270 Morgan Roth: And you know we're going to continue to work on finding the right solution some other points to you know happy to share around. 869 01:37:43.080 --> 01:37:56.400 Morgan Roth: Some third party external research that's been done by you know by naco by another number of organizations that really do validate the use of micro mobility we do here, often a lot of anecdotal. 870 01:37:57.600 --> 01:38:09.840 Morgan Roth: Experiences out there and we all have them to you know i'm a lifelong resident of Washington dulles and i've certainly seen some things happen on scooters that I would not endorse and I don't think bird nor any of the companies would endorse the behavior. 871 01:38:10.860 --> 01:38:21.990 Morgan Roth: But when you work in partnership with your cities with the las with the you know all the hundreds of cities that all of our companies are an operation with, and we, together. 872 01:38:22.590 --> 01:38:36.030 Morgan Roth: survey users and non users to understand behavior we do see what the uses and so I you know happy to continue this conversation, to increase the education around how micro mobility has impacted cities. 873 01:38:36.510 --> 01:38:43.050 Morgan Roth: And in fundamentally you know what we do see in Venice is a lot of use for people who are. 874 01:38:43.920 --> 01:38:53.250 Morgan Roth: going to businesses those tax dollars that they're spending I sorry those you know dollars that they're spending those businesses are tax dollars that go back into the city. 875 01:38:53.640 --> 01:39:04.620 Morgan Roth: And what we do see across the board, is a good a net positive from having micro micro mobility on the ground, certainly, there have been challenges and speed bumps in. 876 01:39:05.850 --> 01:39:14.580 Morgan Roth: You know, some other cons that I can throw in there, but what I would say again, is la duties is keenly aware of those the Council district offices. 877 01:39:15.240 --> 01:39:27.090 Morgan Roth: click keenly aware of those and where we've implemented the infrastructure from this program is almost been entirely exclusive to Venice so we'll continue will continue to work with you all and other partners on the ground and and we appreciate. 878 01:39:27.900 --> 01:39:34.080 Morgan Roth: This committees, you know ever present pressing of making sure that this program works for everyone. 879 01:39:35.820 --> 01:39:52.830 jim robb: Thank you so much, Morgan and, yes, we We appreciate, you and I think as Peter said, the best, I think we all need to work together and work on these issues, you know, whether it be you know, having somebody talk about us or you guys or third parties or whatever so. 880 01:39:53.880 --> 01:39:54.510 jim robb: With that. 881 01:39:56.550 --> 01:40:02.880 jim robb: was a Eric anything else, Brian you can close this out and maybe move on to whatever. 882 01:40:04.650 --> 01:40:11.760 Brian Averill: yeah that was great I just I hope all the companies sort of took some of this in and and everybody realized that we're all in this together. 883 01:40:12.450 --> 01:40:22.470 Brian Averill: And, rather than this being a point of constant tension between the Community and the company there's a much better way to move forward and it's up to all of us to to figure it out together. 884 01:40:23.850 --> 01:40:32.280 Brian Averill: And thank you very much Eric and Jose, especially for taking the time to do this, we appreciate your efforts immensely. 885 01:40:32.940 --> 01:40:34.410 jim robb: don't forget don't forget. 886 01:40:35.430 --> 01:40:38.790 jim robb: Captain Steve emmerich cheese still on appreciate you. 887 01:40:39.570 --> 01:40:40.680 Brian Averill: Yes, of course. 888 01:40:41.820 --> 01:40:49.680 Brian Averill: Thank you lapd Thank you captain and brick Thank you to all the companies, we have a single emotion tonight, which is sort of related. 889 01:40:50.100 --> 01:40:59.730 Brian Averill: it's emotion from Nick to build a separate path for the scooters so we're going to move on to that now everyone is more than welcome to stay. 890 01:41:00.330 --> 01:41:08.490 Brian Averill: If you're sick of scooter talk feel free to jump off and catch the end of the Monday night football game, but we're going to move on to that one motion it's time. 891 01:41:08.520 --> 01:41:09.060 1010. 892 01:41:14.580 --> 01:41:17.040 Brian Averill: Nick why don't you read make that motion. 893 01:41:21.360 --> 01:41:22.500 jim robb: I gotta unmute him I. 894 01:41:23.280 --> 01:41:24.030 jim robb: Really yeah. 895 01:41:24.120 --> 01:41:27.090 I think he's this 1609. 896 01:41:28.290 --> 01:41:28.710 jim robb: Nick. 897 01:41:34.590 --> 01:41:35.190 jim robb: Oh sorry. 898 01:41:35.850 --> 01:41:37.710 jim robb: Sorry, Nick I did it again cuz. 899 01:41:39.030 --> 01:41:42.600 jim robb: Aston i'm you sorry there you go you're unmuted. 900 01:41:42.960 --> 01:41:44.820 1609****346: Can you hear me now yeah okay. 901 01:41:45.900 --> 01:41:50.610 1609****346: i'm calling it, so I don't have the motion in front of me, Brian Korea. 902 01:41:51.780 --> 01:41:58.470 1609****346: That would be helpful and i'll i'll make i'll make a motion to put it on the floor and then i'll answer any questions. 903 01:41:59.370 --> 01:41:59.700 sure. 904 01:42:01.560 --> 01:42:07.560 Brian Averill: The motion is public private construction and scooter device pathway of Venice beach from Mr Nick antenna cello. 905 01:42:08.610 --> 01:42:19.770 Brian Averill: Whereas the proliferation of scooter device companies at Venice is in the thousands of electrified vehicles, and whereas these portable devices are causing a vehicular disturbance along the existing bike path. 906 01:42:21.060 --> 01:42:30.780 Brian Averill: That is reserved for non electrical vehicle devices that operate by pedaling only and whereas the approved scooter bike device companies have been given a preferred status by the city of. 907 01:42:31.170 --> 01:42:37.560 Brian Averill: A city of La and i've made zero investment in the planning or construction of a safe and separate access along Venice beach. 908 01:42:38.670 --> 01:42:42.570 Brian Averill: Therefore, be it resolved that the preferred scooter device companies commit. 909 01:42:42.960 --> 01:42:51.450 Brian Averill: In cooperation with the city of La the construction of a separate pathway along Venice beach beginning at the Venice Pier and ending at the Santa Monica border. 910 01:42:52.140 --> 01:43:03.210 Brian Averill: And that the cost of this construction be shared with the city and the cooperating device companies and that a letter be sent to Council district 11 requesting funding, as well as a timeline for construction. 911 01:43:05.700 --> 01:43:06.030 that's it. 912 01:43:08.160 --> 01:43:09.420 1609****346: i'll make the motion. 913 01:43:13.980 --> 01:43:15.960 Brian Averill: When you the second one, second. 914 01:43:16.650 --> 01:43:17.850 jim robb: Anybody on a second. 915 01:43:18.660 --> 01:43:19.860 peter: Oh i'll second. 916 01:43:22.260 --> 01:43:23.160 Brian Averill: Peter second. 917 01:43:24.330 --> 01:43:24.690 Brian Averill: So. 918 01:43:25.920 --> 01:43:28.740 Brian Averill: we'll start with public comment first. 919 01:43:31.980 --> 01:43:32.670 jim robb: john go ahead. 920 01:43:32.850 --> 01:43:34.230 Brian Averill: Two three. 921 01:43:36.030 --> 01:43:47.370 Sean obrien: Yes, hi guys yeah support next motion i'm, the only thing that worries me with it is dirty politics and La all these companies are going to do. 922 01:43:48.060 --> 01:43:57.720 Sean obrien: The scooter companies, they give a $10,000 contribution to Mike bond and, and this will get buried up if you guys can get this thing through love it man, thank you. 923 01:43:59.610 --> 01:44:00.330 jim robb: Thanks john. 924 01:44:01.530 --> 01:44:02.580 jim robb: Mark you're up. 925 01:44:04.020 --> 01:44:08.730 Mark Nedlin: yeah thanks it, I would like to ask the the person who is. 926 01:44:09.960 --> 01:44:20.760 Mark Nedlin: It who's making this motion, why they think this other path would be effective, I raised this question before we have a separate bike path and that's done. 927 01:44:21.420 --> 01:44:22.680 1609****346: Nothing that I can see from. 928 01:44:22.680 --> 01:44:23.130 Mark Nedlin: Preventing. 929 01:44:23.580 --> 01:44:37.500 Mark Nedlin: To prevent bicycle riders from writing on on the boardwalk itself, how would constructing another separate pathway be effective, given the the sorry track record of the first pathway. 930 01:44:39.540 --> 01:44:40.050 Brian Averill: X mark. 931 01:44:40.500 --> 01:44:42.300 1609****346: i'll add to that if you want me to unless you. 932 01:44:42.300 --> 01:44:43.890 1609****346: want to add closed public comment. 933 01:44:44.100 --> 01:44:47.130 Brian Averill: Why don't we just take all the public comment and i'll do a board to Scott. 934 01:44:47.160 --> 01:44:49.560 Mark Nedlin: know why can't they answer that I mean this is, you know. 935 01:44:49.590 --> 01:44:52.200 Mark Nedlin: let's i'd like to hear an answer please. 936 01:44:52.740 --> 01:44:55.530 Brian Averill: Because we're just trying to stick to that old parliamentary procedure thing. 937 01:44:56.610 --> 01:44:58.260 jim robb: Well he'll answer your question. 938 01:44:59.460 --> 01:45:02.070 jim robb: After we get the other two hands through that are up. 939 01:45:03.390 --> 01:45:04.710 Brian Averill: looks good and Helen. 940 01:45:05.280 --> 01:45:06.150 jim robb: Helen go ahead. 941 01:45:12.330 --> 01:45:14.580 Helen Fallon: um yeah hi um I. 942 01:45:15.810 --> 01:45:26.100 Helen Fallon: i'm trying to understand where this thing would be located, because all I see it, is, we have all these pedestrians down there it's hard enough for people to cross over the bike path. 943 01:45:27.270 --> 01:45:39.180 Helen Fallon: you're going to add another path with motorized vehicles, this is just an attempt to take out children and families understand this, I n n. 944 01:45:39.330 --> 01:45:43.710 Helen Fallon: completely contradicts the purpose of these things if they're supposed to be for the last half. 945 01:45:43.740 --> 01:45:56.010 Helen Fallon: mile, and all this, you know as we heard Oh well, it's all anecdotal that's all the tourists and it's just recreational and now we're going to create a recreational bike path for these people I I am. 946 01:45:57.660 --> 01:46:07.920 Helen Fallon: Unless I can understand this completely and know that I can access the beach without taking my life in my hands i'm completely opposed to this makes no sense whatsoever to me and. 947 01:46:08.550 --> 01:46:21.840 Helen Fallon: You know these things should stay on the street, where they belong i'm sick and tired of on the sidewalks and i'm sick and tired of them in danger me not micro whatever that guy called it mobility it's macro trip hazard thanks. 948 01:46:22.860 --> 01:46:23.340 Brian Averill: Thank you Helen. 949 01:46:23.370 --> 01:46:25.890 jim robb: Helen all right Lisa redman. 950 01:46:28.500 --> 01:46:34.740 Lisa Redmond: hello, good evening all interesting conversation this evening i'm good meeting Jim. 951 01:46:36.330 --> 01:46:50.640 Lisa Redmond: I gonna have to agree with Helen on this, you know first I was thinking back and forth, and I went you know, to the logical thing that we shouldn't be spending any public dollars at this time, let the privately funded, but then I started thinking you know. 952 01:46:51.660 --> 01:47:06.330 Lisa Redmond: On an average weekend it doesn't even have to be a summer it's near impossible as a pedestrian just even cross the bypass we just regular bicycles, and now we want to build a separate super freeway and it just doesn't make any sense. 953 01:47:07.140 --> 01:47:15.660 Lisa Redmond: That and I get that people you know, want to come and vacation and rule how fun, it is to run a scooter and let's ride a scooter and go around the beach. 954 01:47:16.590 --> 01:47:34.020 Lisa Redmond: know it just It just seems like a giant giant safety hazard and then who's going to regulate the traffic on that, and it seems like we're going to have paramedics down on the beach the whole time dealing with injuries that come across from this scooter freeway path. 955 01:47:35.040 --> 01:47:47.910 Lisa Redmond: it's just you know even Captain Captain emmerich reminded us this evening about a pedestrian being killed by scooters you know, we know that all it takes is one person to trip ball and hit their head the wrong way on the. 956 01:47:47.910 --> 01:48:04.620 Lisa Redmond: Concrete and that's a wrong way to die so i'm against the motion, I get the idea of Nick it's a you know, a nice idea from a recreational standpoint but from a safety, public usage point I don't agree, thank you. 957 01:48:21.390 --> 01:48:22.020 1609****346: Hello. 958 01:48:22.380 --> 01:48:23.220 1609****346: Jim you're muted. 959 01:48:25.530 --> 01:48:26.880 Brian Averill: let's go to you Steve. 960 01:48:36.480 --> 01:48:37.260 Brian Averill: Steve Williams. 961 01:48:37.320 --> 01:48:48.210 Steve Williams: Okay, my my background yep okay great um yeah i'll have to agree with the last few speakers that it just sounds like that public safety disaster in the making. 962 01:48:49.770 --> 01:49:08.730 Steve Williams: As a bicyclist and a beach user so i'm both by getting on the bike path frequently and also possibly bike path, sometimes with a big circle and i'm really aware from both perspectives, you know about safely crossing the bike path, but I can tell you this on a weekend. 963 01:49:10.050 --> 01:49:19.380 Steve Williams: Mostly, we can but we do soon summer I guess i'd say bye bye 80 something percent of the other people crossing the bike path and not looking at all, I mean it's it's. 964 01:49:19.890 --> 01:49:33.060 Steve Williams: Some other people bicycle not you know it's just crazy and they're like little kids who went out ahead new bike path and it's it's really quite NUTS so imagine putting motorized vehicles screaming along the. 965 01:49:33.060 --> 01:49:33.660 1609****346: beach. 966 01:49:33.690 --> 01:49:35.040 Steve Williams: With that situation. 967 01:49:35.460 --> 01:49:43.170 Steve Williams: Because it will be the same, I can't think of any other way to do it other than having stoplights and you know and that's not good work. 968 01:49:44.580 --> 01:49:45.330 jim robb: Thank you Steve. 969 01:49:46.980 --> 01:49:47.220 Brian Averill: Thanks. 970 01:49:47.610 --> 01:49:49.020 Brian Averill: Erica to. 971 01:49:49.320 --> 01:49:56.700 jim robb: Carry and then we have Nick every all the questions are about the same so Erica and you are. 972 01:49:57.690 --> 01:50:02.160 Erica Moore: hi Okay, I want to thank Nick for his creative approach to try to address. 973 01:50:02.880 --> 01:50:10.230 Erica Moore: This situation, but I to agree that we don't not need to invite more motor ization down there, I think the bottom line is. 974 01:50:10.680 --> 01:50:27.930 Erica Moore: This is an opportunity for the scooter companies to give back by providing some sort of special funding to bring in some sort of extra police or Rangers or whatever, to be able to monitor and keep the motorized vehicles off of the bike path off of. 975 01:50:28.290 --> 01:50:29.610 1609****346: The boardwalk. 976 01:50:30.060 --> 01:50:33.780 Erica Moore: I mean the bottom line is it's not safe. 977 01:50:34.410 --> 01:50:42.810 Erica Moore: There are already countless injuries and there's been deaths and you don't have to hit someone else to cause a death it's like someone else mentioned, you can have a solo accident. 978 01:50:43.140 --> 01:50:52.470 Erica Moore: And no one's addressed the fact that there's people writing these at night, and I think that that is something that really has to be addressed it's so unsafe it's dark. 979 01:50:52.980 --> 01:51:01.770 Erica Moore: And it's just not good so anyways that's what I think I think it's a way for them to be able to give back, obviously I don't support this motion and I think that. 980 01:51:02.430 --> 01:51:14.460 Erica Moore: Those funds that they could have used to create that path should be utilized to set up enforcement, so that our Community is safer and they can have militarization where it's appropriate Thank you. 981 01:51:15.000 --> 01:51:16.320 Brian Averill: Better circle. 982 01:51:16.380 --> 01:51:18.240 jim robb: Right last one is carrie. 983 01:51:19.860 --> 01:51:20.850 jim robb: yeah very unmute. 984 01:51:22.320 --> 01:51:30.420 cari devine bjelajac: hey guys Venice boardwalk has been a tourist attraction way before scooters came along, and it will continue to be. 985 01:51:30.870 --> 01:51:35.790 cari devine bjelajac: When scooters are no longer a fad and I don't think it would be worthwhile to create. 986 01:51:36.420 --> 01:51:45.390 cari devine bjelajac: A venue for more scooter companies to come, because there is now a scooter whoever said freeway would would is probably pretty accurate if that was Helen. 987 01:51:46.320 --> 01:51:59.520 cari devine bjelajac: But aside from that again this is throwing more enforcement responsibilities on top of lapd because who would be enforcing the fact that you stay in that scooter lane and off the boardwalk or off the bike path. 988 01:51:59.880 --> 01:52:07.560 cari devine bjelajac: It would have to be lapd because we know we can't really rely on the people who are writing in the scooters to self monitor so that's my comment. 989 01:52:08.340 --> 01:52:11.370 jim robb: Thank you so much carrie thanks for joining the meeting, too, I appreciate it. 990 01:52:13.110 --> 01:52:17.880 jim robb: All right, Nick there's your opportunity to answer the questions and then we'll. 991 01:52:17.880 --> 01:52:18.270 VOTE 992 01:52:19.920 --> 01:52:20.310 1609****346: sure. 993 01:52:21.810 --> 01:52:35.190 1609****346: This is an issue of safety first and foremost, but I think people are looking at it from the wrong point of view the problem that you have right now in the bike path and anyone who knows me I I only travel by bike. 994 01:52:36.660 --> 01:52:46.590 1609****346: Is that you have when you're mixing the vehicles regular peddling public bicycles, people who have children attached to the backs of them. 995 01:52:47.250 --> 01:52:55.800 1609****346: Those who have attachments to their bikes they're running they're running at a much slower pace, and then you have these vehicles that are running in a much higher pace. 996 01:52:56.310 --> 01:53:07.980 1609****346: And a lot of the bicycle is can't get out of their way or can't get to the right away when you have scooters that are leaving their lane and trying to pass them the left. 997 01:53:08.970 --> 01:53:19.170 1609****346: which makes it even more dangerous because it's just a two it's just a two lane one lane North one lane South situation, so the bike path really can't absorb. 998 01:53:19.920 --> 01:53:25.440 1609****346: These kinds of devices in the safe and free way someone asked about enforcement. 999 01:53:26.250 --> 01:53:38.130 1609****346: One of the things that I think needs to be done with the by with the devices that you must wear helmets on devices and the two person writing is just out of control. 1000 01:53:38.610 --> 01:53:47.550 1609****346: Now, in terms of enforcement I wouldn't put this on lapd I would put this on the La violations bureau, the same people who. 1001 01:53:48.030 --> 01:54:00.930 1609****346: write the tickets when they do the streets weeping the same people who do traffic on the fourth of July, that would be the appropriate responsibility and you have the substation at Venice. 1002 01:54:01.470 --> 01:54:13.740 1609****346: Venice beach, which is completely unused unoccupied during the week, and if that kind of enforcement was set forth and people started getting tickets were using these things, so they weren't using them. 1003 01:54:14.460 --> 01:54:23.310 1609****346: and illegal way, I think the the amount of of actions would drop down now someone mentioned about the death, the death had nothing to do. 1004 01:54:23.760 --> 01:54:31.290 1609****346: With the bike paths or proposed by path it was two people riding on Lincoln, I believe, who hit a senior citizen and knock them over. 1005 01:54:31.800 --> 01:54:43.650 1609****346: So it's not your main to this to this motion when i'm trying to accomplish is to take to take these vehicles and and let this the scooter people themselves create. 1006 01:54:44.130 --> 01:54:51.720 1609****346: Something that, of course, the city would regulate that would give them access, but at the same time, it would be safe access there'll be equal access. 1007 01:54:52.140 --> 01:55:02.550 1609****346: You don't have that when you when you commingle these devices with normal pedaled bikes I see it every day, where these bikes go flying past people. 1008 01:55:02.940 --> 01:55:15.090 1609****346: And it's the bicycle is who for the most part, have helmets 00 people on these devices have have helped zero, even though I understand there is some kind of regulation, they should have. 1009 01:55:15.840 --> 01:55:30.030 1609****346: So taking them out of the bike lane, in my opinion, increases safety it doesn't decrease safety now in terms of where would go my feeling would be remember we're an advisory board. 1010 01:55:31.140 --> 01:55:44.310 1609****346: I would like to see it go west of the current bike path and there's more than enough room on the beach to to to absorb it and in terms of safety in terms of. 1011 01:55:45.210 --> 01:55:57.000 1609****346: people accessing the beach, there can be a lot of provisions put in there, like a stop signs or have traffic people there on the weekends, making sure that people can cross the same way, cause cross I mean. 1012 01:55:57.480 --> 01:56:03.180 1609****346: there's thousands of these things and they're not going away, I mean i'm trying to be realistic about it. 1013 01:56:03.540 --> 01:56:12.450 1609****346: If I thought this was a fad and was going to go away next month, well, I wouldn't even you know, take the time to write emotion like this, but that is simply not the case so. 1014 01:56:13.260 --> 01:56:31.170 1609****346: i'm saying let's let's let's i'm going to wrap it up now Jim I think this is a good first step to get these people involved if they're going to be good neighbors or good vendors, to the city to understand the problem and, of course, we're going to need you know. 1015 01:56:32.220 --> 01:56:44.820 1609****346: recommendations from the city in La do T if this is something that could be done, but at least to get it off the ground and and have them take a hard look at it and say how do we, how do we deal with these devices and. 1016 01:56:46.920 --> 01:56:47.580 1609****346: not working. 1017 01:56:48.240 --> 01:56:50.310 jim robb: We have three questions coming in well. 1018 01:56:51.210 --> 01:56:55.860 Noel Johnston: i'm Nick what is to keep other kinds of motorized. 1019 01:56:55.860 --> 01:57:06.120 Noel Johnston: Vehicles off of this thing what's to keep more powerful two wheeled vehicles off of a three wheeled vehicles off, but those uni have. 1020 01:57:06.810 --> 01:57:09.900 Noel Johnston: heard of an article either like uni skateboards. 1021 01:57:09.900 --> 01:57:11.280 Noel Johnston: That are motorized off. 1022 01:57:11.790 --> 01:57:12.120 But. 1023 01:57:13.590 --> 01:57:21.840 Noel Johnston: we're we're creating a highway on the beach we're adding more concrete to the beach and we're we're possibly. 1024 01:57:22.710 --> 01:57:23.790 Noel Johnston: Creating quality of. 1025 01:57:23.790 --> 01:57:24.480 1609****346: Life issues. 1026 01:57:25.770 --> 01:57:26.520 All right, hold on. 1027 01:57:28.200 --> 01:57:28.800 jim robb: hold on. 1028 01:57:30.990 --> 01:57:35.490 1609****346: hold on question you want to answer that or no I watch because there's three other hands up and I. 1029 01:57:35.490 --> 01:57:37.080 jim robb: want to get this over shoulder. 1030 01:57:37.890 --> 01:57:38.310 1609****346: All right. 1031 01:57:38.370 --> 01:57:39.960 jim robb: Okay, Robin Europe. 1032 01:57:41.130 --> 01:57:43.680 1609****346: Why it's Robin router so. 1033 01:57:43.710 --> 01:57:45.810 Robin Rudisill: You know I absolutely agree that. 1034 01:57:46.260 --> 01:57:47.940 Robin Rudisill: scooter should not be commingled. 1035 01:57:47.940 --> 01:57:50.250 Robin Rudisill: With bikes but. 1036 01:57:50.340 --> 01:57:53.010 Robin Rudisill: what's strange to me is that this. 1037 01:57:53.010 --> 01:57:55.320 Robin Rudisill: feels like a response to the problem we. 1038 01:57:55.320 --> 01:57:56.610 1609****346: Have with the enforcement. 1039 01:57:56.850 --> 01:57:58.650 Robin Rudisill: they're not supposed to be coming with. 1040 01:57:59.700 --> 01:58:03.810 Robin Rudisill: And if there was adequate enforcement that wouldn't be an issue and I. 1041 01:58:03.900 --> 01:58:06.030 1609****346: And I think we'd have the same problem. 1042 01:58:06.060 --> 01:58:07.290 Robin Rudisill: with adequate enforcement. 1043 01:58:07.290 --> 01:58:12.210 Robin Rudisill: For this I, yet we don't get enforcement now I don't think we're going to get it for this either, and. 1044 01:58:13.350 --> 01:58:23.460 Robin Rudisill: You know venison mainly a neighborhood it's also a tourist destination, but it's not an amusement park and that's what i'm seeing with these. 1045 01:58:23.970 --> 01:58:29.700 Robin Rudisill: E scooters they it's like for joy writing, and this thrill of speeding and all that and I just hate to. 1046 01:58:30.660 --> 01:58:41.940 Robin Rudisill: enable more of that I i'd almost be more inclined to what, especially in on speedway because they're going to be on speedway anyway, and maybe it's better to keep the middle lane or something but. 1047 01:58:42.960 --> 01:58:44.970 Robin Rudisill: I guess that's my thoughts. 1048 01:58:45.390 --> 01:58:50.910 jim robb: All right, so hang on shit Sharon melnick Robert thibodeau. 1049 01:58:54.390 --> 01:59:02.670 robertthibodeau: Thanks but um yeah I it's I think the beach is the beach you don't need more traffic on the beach and. 1050 01:59:03.750 --> 01:59:25.680 robertthibodeau: Putting motorized vehicles, not a good idea, and you know loving Nick but I I I gotta agree with Robin Lisa Eric whoever Helen you were in there, too, I agree with those guys we don't need motorized vehicles on the beach, I mean it's that just does not seem like good idea thanks. 1051 01:59:26.010 --> 01:59:26.820 jim robb: Thanks Robert. 1052 01:59:28.440 --> 01:59:30.060 jim robb: All right, sure sharing. 1053 01:59:31.890 --> 01:59:42.000 Sharon Zhang - Superpedestrian: Thanks very, very briefly, rather than a question, I just wanted to offer just a point of clarification, again just in terms of the two different types of companies, I think that y'all referring to. 1054 01:59:42.300 --> 01:59:50.880 Sharon Zhang - Superpedestrian: First of all, thank you so much for including you know link into this conversation we have been taking notes throughout the night and we'll be sure to incorporate this in our operations. 1055 01:59:51.420 --> 02:00:02.460 Sharon Zhang - Superpedestrian: But he just wanted to just clarify really quickly around the dockless scooter companies and operation in that we currently actually do not cannot have any of our devices on ocean walk. 1056 02:00:02.820 --> 02:00:11.430 Sharon Zhang - Superpedestrian: So you know really in terms of what we're talking about here, I think, maybe some the scooters we're speaking on are more the Rentals that we're seeing on the boardwalk itself. 1057 02:00:11.700 --> 02:00:24.810 Sharon Zhang - Superpedestrian: So you just wanted to make sure that we were kind of separating these two kind of different companies out here and we're happy to work with y'all on, especially regarding kind of physical clutter kind of you know, as you all are mentioning but just wanted to make sure to clarify there. 1058 02:00:25.680 --> 02:00:29.340 jim robb: Thank you so much for that that's a great clarification too so. 1059 02:00:30.570 --> 02:00:31.590 jim robb: you're muted. 1060 02:00:33.240 --> 02:00:34.860 jim robb: Okay i'm gonna. 1061 02:00:36.330 --> 02:00:37.470 jim robb: unmute. 1062 02:00:38.760 --> 02:00:43.350 jim robb: Next, one last comment, making sure we're going to vote, and everybody can go. 1063 02:00:46.200 --> 02:00:46.470 jim robb: Next. 1064 02:00:48.150 --> 02:00:48.540 1609****346: yeah. 1065 02:00:49.980 --> 02:00:56.070 1609****346: What I thought was worth the conversation if the consensus of the committee is not to move forward on the motion and. 1066 02:00:57.150 --> 02:00:58.980 1609****346: I will certainly withdraw the motion. 1067 02:01:00.210 --> 02:01:02.700 1609****346: that's something that doesn't make sense to people but. 1068 02:01:03.390 --> 02:01:17.610 1609****346: I do think that these things are here to stay and if anyone here thinks that scooters aren't at the beach they're just not at the beach, because they are here and there, and they never needs to be dealt with and there's an additional and I think I need to. 1069 02:01:18.330 --> 02:01:34.260 jim robb: I think we got a lot of good points from scooter non scooter residents non residents, I think they're willing to help us out it sounds like all of them are want to be more helpful, I think we have to figure out what we want from them. 1070 02:01:34.290 --> 02:01:35.910 jim robb: Whether it be a bike corral. 1071 02:01:35.970 --> 02:01:41.370 jim robb: Whether it be more you know more of them picking them up so that there's consistently. 1072 02:01:41.910 --> 02:01:43.170 jim robb: 150 times. 1073 02:01:43.230 --> 02:01:45.480 jim robb: What 10 is the thousand. 1074 02:01:46.140 --> 02:01:46.770 That if there's. 1075 02:01:47.880 --> 02:01:50.070 jim robb: Five go out of out of Venice. 1076 02:01:50.160 --> 02:01:52.200 jim robb: They don't put five more back in you know. 1077 02:01:52.560 --> 02:02:01.170 jim robb: So I think there's a lot of stuff that we need to do, Peter go ahead and then let's see if we want to table this until we have a meeting, and we can talk about. 1078 02:02:01.170 --> 02:02:01.680 1609****346: It and. 1079 02:02:02.700 --> 02:02:04.350 jim robb: have more or what we can do, Brian and. 1080 02:02:04.890 --> 02:02:05.790 1609****346: I were to. 1081 02:02:05.970 --> 02:02:08.250 peter: Can I make a quick comment, yes. 1082 02:02:08.670 --> 02:02:10.020 1609****346: Okay, thanks um. 1083 02:02:10.290 --> 02:02:13.440 peter: You know i've been around Venice, since I was 11. 1084 02:02:13.530 --> 02:02:15.270 peter: And when we started writing. 1085 02:02:15.270 --> 02:02:16.590 1609****346: skateboards if. 1086 02:02:16.620 --> 02:02:18.300 peter: We were a huge nuisance. 1087 02:02:18.360 --> 02:02:26.580 peter: And we obviously Venice has come to love us skateboarders they built, you know, took us 20 years we built a skatepark. 1088 02:02:26.880 --> 02:02:47.490 peter: Our population is going to increase by double and however many years our bike path is outdated, we need to expand it like we would have free way, and that includes all electric vehicles, they can sort it out for themselves, they you know at least does pedestrians and the. 1089 02:02:49.620 --> 02:03:00.060 peter: bicycles, which were the original originated on the bike path, but picture a nice bike path, and you know, after some nice construction of. 1090 02:03:00.810 --> 02:03:10.290 peter: Where we incorporate maybe a tunnel that goes right underneath the bike path you know what I mean so pedestrians can just swoop underneath instead of. 1091 02:03:11.070 --> 02:03:21.930 peter: Even getting involved that's where we need to start thinking about is 10 years from now, the Olympics are coming, and we should have a really kick ass bike path with. 1092 02:03:22.470 --> 02:03:31.290 peter: You know, electric whatever we need in a lane and think futuristic because we're going to be gone so it's up to us to plan ahead for the next 10 years. 1093 02:03:31.620 --> 02:03:41.940 peter: Or you know or committee it's two years, so any motion we work on right now we're not even going to see it for a couple of years, we always have to think a couple years ahead and that's all I want to say. 1094 02:03:44.970 --> 02:03:55.620 jim robb: Okay, so Brian you're close us out with one comment and then we're going to vote, since there's a first in a second and we'll just vote, and if it passes passes it doesn't it doesn't. 1095 02:03:56.640 --> 02:04:03.390 Brian Averill: I think the first thing we need to address is whether or not Nick is withdrawing Nick did you want to withdraw wasn't I wasn't clear on that. 1096 02:04:04.590 --> 02:04:04.980 1609****346: well. 1097 02:04:06.270 --> 02:04:15.210 1609****346: I was willing to withdraw if there's no consensus and if everyone if you can pull the committee and say when they would rather not vote on this tonight. 1098 02:04:15.570 --> 02:04:22.050 1609****346: i'll be happy with drawer it unable to go work on something different, one of the things I didn't mention in the end, this motion is that. 1099 02:04:23.190 --> 02:04:38.340 1609****346: The past really needs to be illuminated and that's something that you know, has to happen as well, so if if it's just pulling the committee of people are against this and i'll withdraw it, or, if you want to have a vote, we can have a boat it's totally up to the chairman. 1100 02:04:39.960 --> 02:04:40.740 jim robb: I would say. 1101 02:04:41.670 --> 02:04:45.000 jim robb: I would say, withdraw it and work on something else I would think. 1102 02:04:47.010 --> 02:04:57.660 jim robb: that's what I that's what I would say on it
