Just take scooters that are in your way and put them on a parking spot for cars. A single parking spot fits a dozen at least.

No thanks, they aren't paying for my time, and I don't work for them.

Also these scooters are a serious public nuisance where I live. I cant skateboard, ride a bike, or rollerblade on the sidewalks downtown because of pedestrian traffic. it's literally against the law.

yet these scooters are zipping past/through people and sometimes hitting them, and are littered all over the streets and sidewalks, how is that ok?

It's not ok and chances are just as illegal as biking on a sidewalk. Don't blame the company for citizens bad behavior and governments lack of enforcement. It would be like blaming BMW for aggressive drivers breaking traffic law.
