The San Diego City Council narrowly approved a ban Monday on e-scooters and other motorized devices along the boardwalk from Mission Beach to La Jolla. Sherman suggested that traditional bicycles and scooters were as much of a hazard as the motorized devices. The prohibition will not apply to motorized devices for disabled individuals. Areas off-limits to motorized riders include the boardwalks in Mission Beach, Pacific Beach, Mission Bay Park, Bayside Walk and La Jolla Shores. “This is not so much about shared mobility devices as it is the onslaught of personally owned, privately owned motorized devices,” Paul Wilson said.
