Saturday afternoon, Dallas City Council member Adam Medrano tweeted he was aware of safety concerns in the Deep Ellum area. 

Medrano said he had requested extra police presence, in addition to the review of a teen curfew to stop late-night gatherings. 

He also requested the use of scooters to be temporarily removed from Deep Ellum, according to his tweet. 

Monday afternoon an announcement was made that scooter operators in Dallas will have to end operations by Wednesday and remove scooters from city streets by the "close of business" on Friday, Sept. 4.

The move appears to be temporary. City officials said there will be community meetings to discuss the mode of transportation. 

In Monday's announcement, the Dallas Police Department said there were public safety concerns from residents. 

Complaints included allegations that companies and riders were not adhering to the dockless vehicle ordinance and it posed a public safety issue, the city said.
