City of Bloomington, Indiana

closed: Resolved #166221

Scooters, Bike-share and Related Issues:

Other: since they recently appeared downtown, scooters keep being parked anywhere, many times blocking the sidewalk. (For example, like in the attached picture from Grant street). The companies profiting from these scooters should provide appropriate parking racks. The usage of the scooters should be more clearly regulated too. They are used on sidewalks at very high speeds.

Thank you for sharing your comments about scooters in our city. We have heard from dozens of residents and visitors and are including your comments as we consider the many issues surrounding this new entry to our urban environment. We know that scooter safety (for riders, pedestrians and cars) and poor/dangerous placement of parked scooters are serious and urgent concerns for our residents, visitors and public safety personnel. We are currently reviewing best practices, emerging data (including safety and injury statistics) and resident experiences. We anticipate legislation detailing proposed new guidelines for scooters in our city will be considered by the end of the first quarter of 2019. As with all proposed legislation, opportunity for additional pubic input will be announced prior to the adoption of any new legislation.
