Biking & Walking:
Other: I had an unpleasant near miss biking the small connector trail that Weatherstone down to Highland Ave. At the bottom of the hill, a scooter was on its side, in the middle of the pathway. It was not visible until almost right on top of it, and I came close to wiping out. The city needs to find a solution to scooters that are abandoned haphazardly on sidewalks and bike trails. This is not the first incident I've had, and certainly won't be the last. Eventually someone will get seriously hurt.

Hi, Thanks for reporting this and I'm sorry to hear about your experience. I know that path well -- it's strange that someone would just leave a scooter on it. We are working with the scooter companies on improving their communication with users. This is a case of an individual user (not the company) violating parking rules. Scooter companies can and do fine users as necessary, but to do that they need to know the device in question so they can track the previous user. We believe the situation is improving, even if there continue to be cases of irresponsible uses/parking. Thank you again, Alex Crowley Director, Economic & Sustainable Development crowleya@bloomington.in.gov
