About Shared Micromobility in Grand Junction

Over the course of March 2025, the Shared Micromobility Pilot will be sunset in favor of an enduring permitting program, as supported unanimously by City Council during the February 19, 2025 public hearing. This evolution is informed by almost two years of pilot study, during which staff met regularly with Shared Micromobility operators, other stakeholders, and the general public.

The most significant change being pursued is an expansion and consolidation of the Mandatory Parking Zones (MPZs) which covered the downtown business district, Riverfront corridor, Lincoln Park, Colorado Mesa University, and Sherwood Park throughout the pilot. This is expected to deliver three main benefits for the riders and non-riders alike:

  • Reduced blocking of sidewalks or driveways. As riders will be required to end their trips in a designated corral, there will no longer be "free-floating" parking in the areas covered by the Mandatory Parking Zone. Scooters parked on sidewalks in the residential areas adjacent to downtown comprised the most frequent type of complaint received during the pilot.
  • Reduced visual clutter. Many residents expressed distaste of the visual clutter resulting from scooters being distributed broadly in the community. Similar to the benefit above, consolidating the parking into designated corrals is expected to lessen the impact of any negative visual perception to the community.
  • Improved reliability and intuitive operation. Rider operations will be simplified by allowing more trips to be completed entirely within the MPZ, allowing riders to more reliably know where equipment can be found and no longer expecting riders to come and go between different zones.

To support the expanded MPZs, additional parking corrals will be established through the expansion areas. Signs are being posted in February to designate where corrals are proposed, and any concerns or feedback can be expressed through the Parking Concerns survey.

    Proposal at dangerous intersection exhibits complete lack of comprehension

    In regards to cone and sign at intersection of 14th and White: It's a very bitter pill to swallow for someone who has expressed concern to get something done to improve this INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS INTERSECTION.


    The mere fact that the cone and sign went up is another indication that there is a complete lack of comprehension on the part of the transportation plan organizers on how dangerous this intersection is along with the dangerous crosswalk.


    Any additional complexities such as a parking spot for micro mobility to the transportation system at the intersection of 14th and White is

    Blocked sidewalk

    by Anita, 23 days ago

    Please avoid placing scooters on sidewalks. This is at the corner of 28 Road and Hawthorne Ave. This is a full charged scooter so I doubt it was left by a rider in our neighborhood. The average age of homeowners on Hawthorne Ave exceeds 70+ years of age and we have a large number of walkers. These scooters are too heavy for some to move and forces our walkers to step into the roadway to go around them. Please find another place to drop off full charged scooters. 2 are still sitting on each corner having not been touched in... Continue reading

    7th and Belford in front of the Fidelity building is best for a scooter drop off. Lots of light (safety), close to college, very few houses on that corner.

    The houses on Hill Ave are multi family. Many houses don’t have off street parking. Hill Avenue homes between 7th and 8th use all the on street parking available.

    HELL NO. There’s a cone directly in front of my usual parking space now which is forcing me to parallel park everyday now. I moved it. Please leave these streets where people live and park alone. we already barely fit everyone who lives here on the street.
    I don’t want that directly in front of my house and I don’t want to hear people parking their scooters drunk and talking at 3am. I already hear them wizzing by my window at night. Haven’t you done enough with 4th and 5th street?? Leave us alone!!

    No! On the corner of seventh street is not a good place for parking e-scooters, etc. There are homeowners/renters that do not have garages or driveways there & it's a daily struggle just to park our vehicles or have a guest to park. I see many e-scooters strewn about in our residential areas as it is & some are parked or just left on the ground in a car parking spot.

    City cares more about looking “green” than the actual residents

    by Arryn, 9 months ago
    The people who freelancers/vendors who charge and distribute scooters are disrespectful. They intentionally put it in yards without permission, or directly in the middle of the sidewalk. Pedestrians, just to use the sidewalk, are having to move them because they are blocking access. Glad to know the city cares more about the appearance of alternative transportation options and the disrespectful “entrepreneurs” who litter these in peoples yards than the citizens this program inevitably disrespects. Reporting unwanted/littered scooters to the app doesn’t do anything, even if the link actually works long enough to submit.

    Ruins quality of life for downtown historic neighborhoods

    I live on a major downtown street that has lined bike lanes in both directions which are rarely used by the scooters. Instead they come flying down the sidewalks rarely looking anywhere but straight ahead and often with earbuds blocking anyone even trying to say something to them. It is terrifying for an elderly resident who uses a walking stick to try and do yard work in their front yard or on parkway because they are suddenly just upon you as you backup or turn around as there is no noise to warn one. I've had several scooters just dumped... Continue reading

    by NaKo, 12 months ago

    I live in the downtown area and absolutely hate the scooter program. Please terminate it.

    It's not uncommon to wake up to a nice weekend morning with a pile of scooters littered about in front of my downtown residence. It's a trashy look and I don't want that as my morning view. They have even been left in my yard. It's just a generally trashy look for the entire downtown area and surrounding neighborhoods.


    Additionally, the users often do not have any respect for traffic laws or pedestrians. As someone who drives and walks a lot in the downtown region... Continue reading
