Council Member Sandra Ung (D-20) introduced new legislation prohibiting the DOT’s e-scooter program in parts of eastern Queens.
During the City Council’s Stated Meeting on Thursday, Sept. 12, Ung introduced Intro 1045, which would prohibit the DOT from allowing a person, organization or entity that operates a fleet of shared e-scooters available for short-term rental to install scooter parking corrals and infrastructure on certain streets in Flushing. The legislation would also prohibit the operation of a shared electric scooter on the same roads.
