There were 53 responses to this week’s Tele-Talk question, “Do you think allowing e-scooters in Conway is a good idea?" The vast majority of responses were no.
Why would the selectmen allow these e-scooters in Conway? Half the people that come here from out of state don't even know how to walk around the town, let alone be on a scooter. They can't even drive down 153 in a normal way. I think that's the most ridiculous idea that the selectmen have ever come up with. People are getting hit as is in crosswalks and everything else. These idiots shouldn't even be allowed up here, let alone be allowed to be on a scooter.
