Hello,
I am writing to make a complaint about the scooters that have appeared over the last few weeks from both Bird and Lime. This past Saturday, multiple scooters from both companies were simply abandoned in Bryan Park, some of which were blocking the sidewalks and paths through the park, some of which were leaning against trees and benches, all of which were eyesores in an otherwise lovely park. At one point in the afternoon, six or so Lime scooters were dropped off on the sidewalk by the Henderson St. lower parking lot by folks from Enterprise Rental, on the sidewalk, where people walk, run, etc.
In Bloomington, we are fortunate to have bike racks everywhere. Would it be possible to require that users and companies place the scooters at bike rack locations? By simply allowing them to be left wherever, users are leaving them around without regard to others.
This is also a bit of an issue with the Pace bikes. A few weeks ago, one was left leaning on the stop sign at Henderson and Davis, when there is a bike rack just a block away in the park.
Thank you for taking steps to regulate these companies in a manner that benefits everyone.

I live in Canterbury house apartments and use the Bloomington Transit to get around. My daughter (26) and myself are both disabled and have mobility limitations. I would assume that it was from last Wednesday's storms, but there is a large tree branch blocking the sidewalk along basswood between the entrance to Canterbury House Apartments and the bus stop at Forest Ridge Apartments. We had a doctor's appointment this morning and had to be at the bus stop by 7:20AM and was surprised to see such a mess blocking the sidewalk. Since my daughter would be unable step off the sidewalk with her rollater walker to avoid the section that the tree branch covers it meant we had to walk from Canterbury House Apartments entrance to the entrance to Forest Ridge on the road. This was very unsettling for both her and I because we both know how bad cars fly around the corner and how fast they speed through this section. We came in from the bus at 2:25pm today and the tree branch was still there so we took a photo to show.

Crabapple tree branches have grown over and down onto the sidewalk in front of the home at 1700 E. Camby Lane. Residents are unable to walk on the sidewalk beneath / next to the tree, and must move into the roadway.

The sidewalk on the west side of the street along Basswood Drive has multiple low hanging trees and bushes blocking the path from being used. It is particularly bad between the two Forest Ridge complexes, and can get bad on the east side of the street as well. Thank you.

Sidewalk is pretty much completely blocked by vegetation. Students use that sidewalk to reach the bus stops and are forced to walk in the street.
