Here come the scooters.
The personal motorized machines are coming back to Minneapolis after city officials came to terms with Bird and Lyft, who are contracted to operate their scooters in Minnesota's largest city through March 31, 2021.
There is one major change to the rules.
When you're finished riding, won't be allowed to simply lay the scooter down on the ground.
Instead, all scooters must be locked to a public bike rack or an on-street corral.
Locking to a signpost is all right as well, as long as you don't use a stop sign or a bus stop.
There are also designated scooter parking zones.
The city does not say when the scooters hit the streets.
Some of the rules are unchanged.
No riding on sidewalks.
Stay in bike lanes and ride the same direction as motor traffic.
And, wear a helmet.
The regulations are basically the same as those set down for bicycle riders in Minneapolis.
Under the agreement with Bird and Lyft, the 2,500 scooters on the streets of Minneapolis will be divided evenly between the two companies.
A maximum of 1,000 scooters are allowed downtown and in surrounding neighborhoods.
The city is also calling for at least 750 scooters distributed in areas of concentrated poverty in north, northeast and south Minneapolis.
Bird and Lyft are also required to have ongoing education and outreach on safe riding and proper parking behavior.
