The "dismount zones" are not working. They never did work, and now the scooters are an even bigger hazard. I see people riding them on the sidewalks around the square every day. If riders can't be bothered to care on their own, maybe we need some enforcement personnel out there to make them care. If we can have parking meter patrols, then surely we can have sidewalk patrols with authority to issue citations.

The new scooters are a bad idea. They are everywhere and haphazardly parked on sidewalks, entrances, etc. More concerning is the of the scooters use on public streets, especially at night. They are much slower and difficult to see. What a terrible idea by the city. It is just a matter of time that I think someone will get hurt. Please reconsider allowing these scooters, or at least limit the use and scope of these scooters.

Four scooters were parked at 7:45 today transversely on the sidewalk on fourth street next to Taste of India. They are blocking the sidewalk.
If someone with a wheelchair of a baby stroller gets to this point, they won't be able to use the sidewalk.
This is just an example, but in general these scooters, which have recently appeared in Bloomington, are usually badly parked. Also it should not be allowed to ride these scooters on sidewalks since they travel very fast!
Please do something to regulate the usage of the scooters.
Best regards,
Carmen

Hello,
My name is Lauren Fox. I am the Facilities Manager at Middle Way House.
Every morning there is an increasing amount of scooters on our side walk and outside of our buildings. I have attached two pictures of where I have been finding them. I would prefer not to have any of them on our private property. I wanted to share these images to ensure that the spaces being used are in deed public space therefore we must permit them to be there.
Thank you for your time and I look forward to your response,
Lauren Fox
ps- I have sent these twice- each one with a different picture
