Atlanta officials are considering ways to crack down on the throngs of electric scooters clogging the city’s sidewalks and streets.

WAGA-TV reports that city leaders want to implement new regulations to stop scooter abuse by riders and company owners.

City Council President Felicia Moore told the station Thursday that her office has been flooded with complaints about the scooters. She said ideas include increasing permit fees or temporarily banning scooters.
