    • Could there be a possibility of incorporating sports and clubs into a solution?
    • There is a model in other countries where schools to provide club and sports activities on school premises - what can we borrow from this?

Traffic and Safety

  • Reckless or dangerous use of electric scooters (rental or owned)
    • Especially by teenagers flouting traffic rules - are teens not taught street traffic rules?
    • How can the traffic park be part of a solution?
    • Or is it simple callousness? Root causes need to be investigated too.
