This specific incident involved a Lime scooter, but I urge you to please ban ALL motorized scooters from Bloomington. My family and I were just coming back from the airport yesterday when we saw a young woman collide head-first into a car in cross-traffic (without a helmet because of course, none of these scooters come with helmets) because her brake stopped working. This was no one's fault but the manufacturers'. But given how much they make, I'm doubtful much will come out of it if she were to take legal action. There have been so many accidents (some fatal, as you know) in so many cities, including ours, due to these companies dumping scooter after scooter onto seemingly every busy sidewalk, and it is completely within your control to ban them here--after all, Indianapolis did. I would like to know your reasons for allowing them to continue to be used in Bloomington when we know how dangerous they have and will continue to be, as long as they are on the streets.. Just how many more accidents must we see and hear about until something concrete is done?

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.

2 VEO scooters blocking the sidewalk in the 700 block of Eastside Drive on Sunday morning, November 6. This is a major pedestrian thoroughfare. Ban those monsters!

Bike racks should only be allowed for bikes and other personal transports that need to be locked up. Scooters owned by those companies do not need to be locked up, and yet people park them on bike racks, taking up valuable bike parking space with heavy scooters that are nearly impossible to move without knocking them over and push them around, since the wheels don't seem to move unless you've downloaded the app and paid to move that scooter. Can you please put a sign at all bike racks saying that scooters etc that aren't personally owned cannot be parked there? Today as I was on the Bline at Kirkwood, a whole bike rack of at least 8 racks was fully taken up by those stupid electric scooters, as if someone took them home to charge them and just lined them up there. Even though they don't need to be locked up! If these thigns are going to continue to exist, there needs to be a separate parking situation set up for them, because they're equally in the way when people just leave them in the middle of the sidewalk.
