Bird scooters removed from Everett bridge overhang



EVERETT — These Birds nested in the wrong spot.

At least eight Bird electric scooters were stashed in an area not meant for the public on the Grand Avenue Park Bridge in Everett earlier this month.

Flushing them out proved a quick and simple fix.

Everett Public Works staff already in the area on Nov. 7 spotted two scooters that morning. Workers used a bucket truck lift to reach and remove them from the overhang on the west end of the bridge, public works spokesperson Kathleen Baxter wrote in an email.

I've seen similar things done to rental scooters and bikeshare bikes in Seattle.

The scooters were moved to a place inaccessible to users.

In Seattle I've seen similar where scooters and bikeshare bikes were thrown off of overpasses and onto BNSF railroad tracks. Some people just disrespect these.
