for shared electric scooters and bikes with the goal of cracking down on unsafe riding and parking.

Some on the council expressed concern that the new rules would not be adequately enforced, or that the cost of enforcement would fall on taxpayers. City staffers said that is part of why they're transitioning to a new system that will force the companies to compete for the right to do business in San Diego.
