A man picking up scooters from a corral today at 10:30am who was driving a pickup with a large trailor had parked in the middle of Grant Street at this location while attending to the scooters, blocking passage of vehicles traveling south. As I rode by (bicycle, not a scooter) he aggressively moved into what remained of the available street to use, attempted to block my path and emitted a deranged, sneering sound as I passed. It was a dangerous and unnecessary thing for him to do. He was possibly in his 30s, was a bit overweight and seemed a bit "limited". Please inform the scooter companies that their employees should be trained to respect people around them while they are working.

Following up on case# #185581: The people who ride those scooters are typically rude dismissive of common decency. They ride fast on sidewalks even when there are people present, they ride them in the dark in groups, sometimes 2-3 on a single scooter, they *often* ride the wrong way on one-way streets, and if you make a comment to them about hazards they are creating they curse and/or gesture obscenely. Please please please ban them from the city. Yesterday there was another accident - 10th/Woodlawn this time. Does the City really want to be known as a place that encourages people to risk their lives, and turn a blind eye when people are injured or killed? How many more accidents is it going to take for you to wake up and stop the insanity.

I am a student at Indiana University. The electronic scooters have been insanely helpful to navigating the campus when busses are full or running late. I appreciate the no-parking zones, as they help keep the sidewalks freer of the scooters and allow for accessibile use. My issue currently is that there are official IU Campus buildings registered as no-parking zones. In particular, the Arts Annex building on 12th and Woodlawn. I am asking for the city of Bloomington to work with IU officials on clearly labeling campus buildings where scooter parking zones should be present. Then, the city of Bloomington takes that info to the electronic scooter companies to update their apps and services.

There is a Bird scooter abandoned at the corner of 1st and S. Sheridan. It has not been moved in over a week, other than when I have to pick it up out of the roadway.
