A scooter rack has been set up in the street in our residential neighborhood. It should not be there, should it?
There are two Veos blocking the public sidewalk at Rockport and Graham. And Banta.
This scooter parking has recently been placed in front of our home without notice. We feel that this parking will be an extreme nuisance to our home, as it is located directly outside bedroom windows. We fear that intoxicated people riding these scooters will be close to our parked cars and right outside our home on a frequent basis. We are worried about noise and the safety of our home and property with intoxicated people parking scooters in the middle of the night. In addition, we do not want people loitering outside of the home. We want this parking area relocated. The parking is located at the corner of 12th Street and Grant Street.
Scooters completely blocking the sidewalk, not a regulated parking area, rater a residential area, with parking obstructed. They have been here for over 12 hours
A City/Lime bicycle has been parked on the sidewalk at the corner of Stands & Ashwood Drives for about three weeks.
Scooter blocking sidewalk
The BMCMPO received the following message/question from Mr. Sam Melchior (dsamuelm375@gmail.com) who asked the following: "Hi, I was wondering if there is any consideration of geo fencing the IU campus and downtown to control the dangerous use of e scooters. They are terribly dangerous and do not provide the safe eco friendly transportation advertised. Sam, a concerned citizen " We would ask that someone respond to Mr. Melchior regarding the geofencing of scooters within the City of Bloomington. Thanks, Pat Martin Planning & Transportation Department
Someone was killed by a drunk driver and I can’t use my scooter anymore because the city is a bunch of idiots.
Drunk drivers are protected while cyclists, pedestrians, and scooter users are not.
