TAMPA. Nui nā ala e hele ai a puni ke kikowaena o Tampa i kēia mau lā: e holoholo ma ke kahakai, e holo paikikala a me nā scooter uila, e lawe i kahi kaʻa kaʻa wai, e holo i nā tram manuahi, a i ʻole e holo i kahi kaʻa kahiko.
Ua wehe koke ʻia nei ka hale hoʻolimalima kaʻa kolepa ʻo Channelside ma ka lihi o ke kaiāulu ulu wikiwiki ʻo Water Street ma ke kikowaena o Tampa, a ua lilo mua ia i wahi nui ma nā kaiāulu mai ke kikowaena o Sun City a i nā mokupuni ʻo Davis - hiki i nā kamaʻāina ke ʻike i nā kamaʻāina ʻoihana e hana ana a puni lākou - nā mea pāʻani.
No Ethan Luster ka ʻoihana hoʻolimalima, nāna hoʻi i kūkulu i nā kaʻa kolepa ma Clearwater Beach, St. Pete Beach, Indian Rocks Beach a me Dunedin. Noho ʻo Luster ma kahi kokoke ma Harbor Island, kahi—ʻae—nona iā ia kahi kaʻa kolepa.
He ʻauwaʻa liʻiliʻi o ʻewalu mau kaʻa ʻaila no 4 mau ohua i hoʻolimalima ʻia mai kahi kahua kaʻa ma 369 S 12th St. ma ke alo o ka Florida Aquarium, ua kū kānāwai a ua lako me nā kukui e pono ai, nā hōʻailona huli a me nā lako ʻē aʻe. Hiki ke hoʻokele ʻia lākou ma nā alanui me ka palena wikiwiki o 35 mph a i ʻole ka emi mai.
"Hiki iā ʻoe ke lawe iā ia i Armature Works," wahi a Luster, 26. "Hiki iā ʻoe ke lawe iā ia i Hyde Park pū kekahi."
E like me ka mea i manaʻo ʻia, ua hoihoi ka manaʻo, ʻoiai mai ka poʻe e kākoʻo ana i nā ʻano ʻē aʻe o ka halihali alanui.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Kimberly Curtis, ke poʻo o ka Straits District Community Renewal District, ua ʻike ʻo ia i nā kaʻa kolepa ma nā alanui kokoke akā ua manaʻo ʻo ia aia lākou ma kahi ʻāina pilikino.
“Ke ʻae nei au i ia mea,” wahi āna. “Inā ʻaʻole lākou ma nā ala paikikala, nā hele wāwae ma ke kahawai, a me nā alanui hele wāwae, he koho maikaʻi kēia.”
Ua ʻae ʻo Ashley Anderson, he wahine ʻōlelo no ka Downtown Tampa Partnership: "Ke hana nei mākou me kekahi koho micromobility e hoʻokuʻu i nā kaʻa mai ke alanui," wahi āna.
"E kākoʻo pilikino wau i nā ʻano hana like ʻole o ka neʻe ʻana e like me kā mākou e noʻonoʻo ai," wahi a Karen Kress, ka luna o ka halihali a me nā hui hoʻolālā, he hui waiwai ʻole e hoʻokele ana i ke kikowaena kūlanakauhale ma o kahi ʻaelike me ke kūlanakauhale. .
ʻO kekahi mau ala ʻē aʻe e kaʻapuni ai i ke kikowaena kūlanakauhale i kū mai i nā makahiki i hala iho nei, ʻo ia ka hoʻolimalima paikikala, nā scooter uila, nā huakaʻi segway huila ʻelua, nā mīkini, nā huakaʻi segway kū, nā taxi wai pirate a me nā waʻa ʻē aʻe ma ka muliwai ʻo Hillsborough, a me nā holo rickshaw maʻamau. Hiki ke loaʻa nā rickshaw paikikala ma waena o ke kikowaena kūlanakauhale a me Ybor City. Loaʻa pū kekahi huakaʻi kūlanakauhale ʻelua hola ma kahi kaʻa kolepa.
"E pili ana i ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi ala ʻē aʻe e hele ai a puni ʻo Tampa," wahi a Brandi Miklus, ka luna hoʻonohonoho papahana no ke kahua kūlanakauhale a me ka halihali. "E hana wale ia i wahi palekana a ʻoi aku ka leʻaleʻa e hele ai."
ʻAʻohe mea e koi ʻia e kūʻai aku i ka kamaʻāina o Tampa ʻo Abby Ahern ma kahi kaʻa kolepa, a he luna kūʻai waiwai ʻo ia: hoʻokele ʻo ia i kāna kaʻa uila mai nā poloka ma ka ʻākau o ke kūlanakauhale e hana ma nā mokupuni ʻo Davis, ma ka hema o ke kūlanakauhale. ʻO ka ʻai ʻana a me ke aʻo ʻana o kāna keiki kāne i ka baseball.
Pono kahi ʻoihana hoʻolimalima hou ma ke kikowaena kūlanakauhale i nā mea hoʻokele ma ka liʻiliʻi he 25 mau makahiki a loaʻa iā lākou ka laikini hoʻokele kūpono. ʻO ke kumukūʻai hoʻolimalima trolley he $35/hola a he $25/hola no ʻelua a ʻoi aku paha mau hola. ʻO ke kumukūʻai o ka lā piha he $225.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Luster ua lohi iki nā mahina kauwela a hiki i kēia manawa, akā ke manaʻo nei ʻo ia e piʻi aʻe ka wikiwiki i ka wā e puka mai ai nā nūhou.
