Milwaukee taking legal action against Bird Scooters

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) – The City of Milwaukee is taking legal action against the company that dropped off 100 motorized scooters in the Third Ward and downtown last week.

According to the complaint, Bird Scooters refused to stop their operations after a city attorney wrote a letter to the company warning that use of the scooters is illegal on sidewalks and streets.

A hearing is set for Friday when the city will try to get a temporary injunction to have the scooters removed immediately.
