In an exclusive report by Brisbane Times reporter, Lucy Stone,Brisbane City Council argue for e-scooters to be taken off CBD footpaths and into bike lanes.
In June a woman was allegedly struck by an e-scooter in Woolloongabba, resulting in a broken kneecap, calls for changes to the permit to govern where e-scooters are allowed and their speed.
The council’s public and active transport committee chair, Ryan Murphy, said taking the e-scooters off footpaths in the CBD is a “necessary step” to better protect pedestrians.
