Bird scooter blocking sidewalk. These 2 have been there for 2 days now. We have a nearly blind lady in our neighborhood. Can you imagine what happens if she walks her dog and does not realize that these 2 monsters are in her path! 1807 E Second Drive
There were not only these scooters, but 2 more in the middle of the Morton-Grimes lot next to these, plus 2 more to the side. There was a scooter in the middle of the B Line Monday morning. More scooters at the B Line and Allen intersection. I almost always see turned over scooters on the B Line going south from Allen, Bird and Lime. My suggestion is to have huge dumpsters so the riders can simply dump them, as I know often the companies do, a scooter landfill! What a shame!
Lime Scooter has been sitting on private property in our neighborhood for approximately one week.
Per the city of Bloomington's electric scooter guidelines "Park the scooter in a bike rack or in another lawful spot on public property that does not block the right-of-way, limit access for individuals with disabilities, risk damaging private or public property, or jeopardize public safety."

Two houses from where this scooter was parked in the 700 block of S Eastside Drive, there lives a blind person. She already has made one fall after a collision with a 'parked' scooter. I thought the scooter companies were not going to accept payment until they had proof (a picture?) that the renter had parked the scooter in a responsible manner. So much for that!
Lime scooter blocking private driveway. Date 10/20/10. Time 3:30PM. Tried to move it out of the way but wheels lock up unless we pay to use it. Address 126 S. Roosevelt St.
There seems to be a disabled Lime scooter lying flat at Willis and 17th St. (northeast on Willis) next to the small strip mall.
Several scooter riders are riding the scooters in the dismount zone along the north side of Kirkwood Avenue between Indiana and Dunn avenues. Increased (or any) enforcement of laws would be nice for a change.

Hello, I would like to draw your attention to an issue with item 6 of the e-scooter guidelines on the city website; "6. Park the scooter in a bike rack or in another lawful spot on public property that does not block the right-of-way, limit access for individuals with disabilities, risk damaging private or public property, or jeopardize public safety." E-scooters should not be parked “in a bike rack” as they do not require locking and have their own kick-stand support. When e-scooters are parked inside of bike racks they are blocking access to a vital space for cyclists. Parking e-scooters in bike racks causes the same inconvenience to cyclists as parking e-scooters in the middle of a sidewalk causes to pedestrians. Failing to notice this basic issue feels like the city of Bloomington has forgotten or decided to ignore the needs of cyclists. I ask that the wording in the e-scooter guidelines be changed to ensure that bike racks are reserved for bikes and other vehicles that require locking, and proper notice be given to e-scooter users about this change. Thank you.
