GF Council…scooters & 42nd

By Doug Barrett Aug 16, 2022 | 8:40 AM

Electric scooters will soon be roaming the streets of Grand Forks. After previously adopting an ordinance to allow the scooters the city council last night (Monday) approved a permit for Bird Rides Inc. to operate in town. The plan calls for an initial fleet of 200 scooters with a max cap of 400. The rides will not be allowed on sidewalks in the downtown and will have a top speed of 15 mph.

The Grand Forks council has agreed to support the North Dakota DOT and BNSF in efforts to land a grant to help fund the 42nd Street separation project. The cost is estimated at $50 to $66 million dollars. If approved the grant could fund roughly half the bill. The application will target three potential rail programs.

A unique set of circumstances resulted in council member Danny Weigel to chair last night’s council meeting. Mayor Brandon Bochenski was not able to attend the session and Council President Dana Sande was also absent. Council Vice-President Bret Weber attended remotely. The council voted unanimously in favor of Weigel serving in the temporary leadership role.
