Scooter program back in action in Cranbrook

Cranbrook residents can once again utilize the Bird Canada e-scooter program, with around 100 scooters distributed around the community.

City staff are reminding residents of the road rules for the scooters.

Scooters must be ridden in bike lanes or roads only. E-scooters are not allowed on any sidewalk.

Using active transportation corridors or multi-use pathways is allowed.

City staff said helmets are required, and only one person is allowed per scooter.

Scooters can be driven in most areas of Cranbrook, but there are a few no-ride zones, including around the hospital, highways, city parks and golf courses.

A map of the no-ride zones can be found below.
