Modern scooters (most are no longer mopeds) are motorcycles in form and
function and should be regulated thusly.

During the course of those discussions, have there been ideas
presented as to where else mopeds would allowed/required to park?

At this time, state law allows mopeds to be parked anywhere that
bicycles can be parked on public right of way. The University can
regulate this in ways that the City cannot, because for parking
purposes, they are considered private property.
A number of people - people at the UW, City, and a couple of state
electeds - have been working on changing this for a couple of
years. As part of the joint UW/City bicycle task force, I asked
the City lobbyist to push this at the Capitol.
A bill was introduced in the last legislative session to allow
local municipalities to regulate moped parking, but it went
nowhere. As you may know, legislation dies with the legislative
session. It has not been reintroduced, as far as I know.
Once thee state law is changed to allow local control over moped
parking, the City can pass the appropriate parking ordinances.
Bike Fed, and maybe city people (?) are working on getting this
changed, but I don't know where it stands.
