closed: Resolved #185581

Scooters, Bike-share and Related Issues:

Other: We need to get rid of those electric public scooters. I am a big advocate for public transportation, but it is clear that the infrastructure of Bloomington is not meant to handle anything other than cars, foot traffic, or occasionally bicycles. The use of public electric scooters constantly poses a risk to pedestrians walking, or vehicles in motion. As a walker I have nearly been hit by one of these multiple times, and as a driver these things are such a liability due to their speed and the fact that most people who use them do not follow the rules, they just zip around. Last year a young man died on one of those scooters. This year another is injured. This is becoming a public safety emergency, so please for the sake of the bodily health of the citizens, ban these scooters.

Scooters are a viable alternative to single occupancy vehicles and will continue to be a transportation option. If you see legal infractions they should be reported to law enforcement. Your feedback has been shared with the scooter companies and Mayoral staff.
