Another Update: Scooter Creep
As
promised, Erica from the Tucson Department of Transportation called me back the
day before Thanksgiving and said she had spoken to a lawyer about scooters
indiscriminately parked on a homeowner’s sidewalk. Definitely, the homeowner is
not responsible, however, the party who left the obstruction is.
My
suggestion is to put the scooter in the street near the curb but away from
parked cars. You don’t want to fix your problem but cause a problem for your
neighbor after he or she runs the darn thing over.
If
you would like to learn all about your sidewalk responsibility, just click on
the link: https://www.tucsonaz.gov/files/transportation/files/Chapter_25.pdf
and
read Section 25 – 12 and 13. Or you can just keep your sidewalk clean and when
there is upheaval or damage call a sidewalk repair person. Simple, right?
The sign is working!
The
reaction to the Poop Deserter sign is positive, with a smile. Oh, there was one
negative comment about the strong language but one should really hate—not just
dislike—things in life like Hitler, bullies, animal, kids and people abusers,
arsonists and so on.
To
date the signs have been ripped down in front of the Miles School and the above
trashed sign found in the barrel in the park. It was replace post haste.
The
point is folks are now paying attention to the problem and there appears to be
less of a mess.
This
week we donated 206.6 lbs. of pet food, 6 pill bottles, and $93.26 in cash and
one check. Our cash donation was more than twice the amount for last week. Very
nice.
See
you Sunday,
Peter
