Scooters may be back on the streets of Dallas soon.
But not everybody thinks they should return.
Dallas radio host, Michael Zavala, was injured in a scooter accident on Labor Day 2018. He gave his thoughts on the possible scooter return on his weekly show, MZNOW.
“Here’s my thing, I’m not pro scooter because of the accident. Who remembers being in Deep Ellum, when these scooters were riding around town? I know three people that were just coming out of like restaurants or bars or whatever, and were knocked over by people riding scooters on the sidewalk.
They weren’t supposed to do it, but they did it anyway.
Who remembers sitting in traffic and having a scooters zip by, almost hitting people on scooters?”
He went on to say that, “providing stupid people with tools to be stupid is a terrible idea. We’ve already tried it. Dallas is not a scooter city.”
Michael, who shattered his leg in more than 16 places, spoke about his accident on NBC in 2019.
He was also recently featured on Judge Steve Harvey for the same injuries.
In 2020, the city of Dallas ordered rental companies like Lyft and Bird to stop operations due to safety concerns and public complaints.
If the Dallas city council approves, the scooters could return by the fall.

Todd Stashwick Anticipates Nostalgic Reunion for ’12 Monkeys’ Cast at Star Trek Las Vegas
Actor Todd Stashwick, widely recognized for his roles in both Star Trek: Picard and 12 Monkeys, eagerly anticipates a special reunion for the cast of 12 Monkeys at the upcoming Star Trek Las Vegas event. The reunion marks a significant occasion as it will be the first official gathering of the cast since the show concluded.
Stashwick, who played a pivotal antagonist in 12 Monkeys, shared his excitement about reuniting with his former castmates with Michael Zavala of MZNOW. “It’s the first time we’re doing a reunion, the first time we’ve all been back together on a stage since we were advertising for season three,” he remarked during a recent interview. He expressed enthusiasm for the planned panel discussions, photo ops, and autograph sessions that will allow fans to engage with the cast in new and meaningful ways.
The actor reflected on the series’ journey and its resurgence in popularity thanks to streaming platforms. “12 Monkeys had a very passionate and loyal audience when it aired, but it wasn’t a large one. Thanks to streaming, more people are discovering the show, which is bringing new life to it,” Stashwick noted. He credits the series’ increased visibility to the continued success of its showrunner, Terry Matalas, who also worked on Star Trek: Picard.
Stashwick’s relationship with Matalas, forged during their time on 12 Monkeys, has been a cornerstone of his career. “We share a brain often, and he’s able to communicate to me very quickly what he’s wanting from me,” Stashwick said, highlighting the deep creative connection they share.
As Stashwick looks forward to the 12 Monkeys reunion, he is also enthusiastic about the ongoing influence of the series and its contribution to the sci-fi genre.
The reunion at Star Trek Las Vegas is not just a celebration of 12 Monkeys but also a testament to the enduring appeal of well-crafted science fiction narratives that continue to captivate audiences long after their initial release.
