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.

Decades ago, big changes were made to Main Street to make it more pedestrian friendly. The street went from being straight to having graceful curves with places to cross safely mid-block, places to sit to enjoy the shade of numerous trees, and well tended flower beds. To add scooters to this goes against the principle of being pedestrian friendly. We've already seen them being used on the sidewalks. Local police spokespersons have said enforcing the rules will likely not be be a priority. This was a bad idea and 18 months is too long for a trial period.

appreciate the forward move to positive change, but this is not it. We've had customers nearly get struck by scooter riders while on the walkway. Nice concept, but there's a lot to be learned from the metro areas nationwide that tried this and failed: they clutter the town, invite damage to vehicles and pedestrians, and end up in waterways and other undesirable areas.
These scooters make downtown less safe for everyone involved.
For the alleged "transportation issue" these are supposed to solve, the scooters are not an economic way to travel. Seems the scooter companies have a great sales team... Continue reading

It seems that we are seeing the same problems that other cities have experienced. I live and work downtown and less than 24 hours into the program, I have seen:
1) A scooter parked next to a fire hydrant and then that same scooter was moved across the street and put in someone's landscaping.
2) Two scooters parked in a line, blocking the entire sidewalk on First and Grand
3) Two scooters parked on 11th and North blocking the sidewalk
4) A group of four scooter riders ran through a stop sign on Grand and 6th, nearly causing an accident

I am a fan of introducing scooters to GJ! What I don't understand is the boundaries in the Byrd and Lime apps. The maps in the apps make it seem like you cannot travel between the three main areas of CMU / Downtown / Las Colonias. I think what its showing is the no riding on the sidewalk zone. It's confusing for a new user, and as is, implies you cannot connect between those three zones.
