This Is a Big Win For The City, Too

Improperly parked bikes and scooters can be a nuisance to pedestrians and drivers. They can also block access to businesses and other important destinations.

This pilot program is a step in the right direction for Fort Collins. It's a way to make the city more bike- and scooter-friendly, while also making it easier for everyone to get around.

This Is Just the Beginning

The City is also working on a number of other initiatives to make Fort Collins a more bike- and scooter-friendly city. They're expanding the bike and scooter share programs, adding more bike lanes, and making it easier to get around on two wheels.

The goal is to make FoCo a city where everyone can get around easily. I believe that is something everyone can get behind. Driving around Old Town at 5:00 PM feels like a disaster right now.
