City of Bloomington, Indiana

closed: Resolved #183143

Scooters, Bike-share and Related Issues:

Other: I was walking on the sidewalk near 4th and walnut and 5 scooter riders rode by me and one ran me over! I thought there were supposed to be restrictions on where scooters could be ridden and parked. I frequently see them parked in handicapped ramps. They are polluting our city and making it less accessible.

Hi Mr. Farrell, Thank you for sending your report and I'm sorry to hear about the incident. Yes, you are correct that rider and pedestrian safety are a chief concern regarding scooters, and parking issues are also important to us. We are advancing recommendations to Council next week regarding both of these issues and hope that those will significantly improve the use of scooters in the community. Having said that, as I'm sure you recognize, it's difficult to affect individual behavior especially among younger riders if they're acting inappropriately. On that front, IU and the City have been coordinating on certain educational efforts to improve rider behavior. Thanks again and please let me know if you have any questions. Alex Crowley crowleya@bloomington.in.gov
