📰 News we're reading
• BG Council puts brakes on motorized scooters on sidewalks (bgindependentmedia.org) — Bowling Green residents using electric scooters will no longer be allowed to ride them under power on any city sidewalks, including downtown, after council amended its micromobility ordinance to match state law. Supporters say the change prioritizes pedestrian safety, especially for older residents, while one council member argued slower-speed scooters should still be permitted on sidewalks. 
• Avride Arrives on U.S. Campuses After Starship Left for Grocery Delivery (foodondemand.com) — Students at Bowling Green State University will soon see new Avride delivery robots on campus, replacing the long-running Starship service. Launching Aug. 17, the Chartwells-partnered system promises smoother, safer food deliveries integrated with Grubhub, as BGSU becomes one of the company’s earliest U.S. campus adopters and a key site in its national expansion.
• Harris BG golf's lone returning letter winner (sent-trib.com) — Bowling Green High School’s girls golf team enters the new season with just one returning letter winner, senior Avery Harris, after injuries and departures sidelined several key players. Coach Paige Bulkeley is leaning on a young, inexperienced roster but believes their attitude and coachability can keep the Bobcats competitive in Northern Lakes League play.
