Scooters Arrive in Downtown EC News | September 4, 2024 | 0 | by Morgan McCarthy There’s a new way to get around downtown Eau Claire. Bird dropped off the first of its electric scooters yesterday. A handful of the new scooters can be found parked in designated zones along Water Street. Eventually Bird hopes to have about 300 scooters in Eau Claire. You need an app to use them, and the city says they cannot be driven on sidewalks, or just left anywhere. The scooters are also available for us at UW-Eau Claire. Bird says they’ll be available until the first plowable snow of the season. CLICK FOR MORE.
