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.
There is a Lime scooter blocking the driveway to the 6th Street Garage of the Monroe County Public Library. The garage and driveway are both used daily by our facilities and mobile outreach staff. I drive the Outreach Van and the scooter is parked in such a way that it blocks my ability to pull in and reverse the van in order to to load and unload it with materials for community members.

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.
Hello, Someone recently stole my bike worth $250 between 10/5 and 10/6. My address is 1309 N Washington St Bloomington, IN.
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

since they recently appeared downtown, scooters keep being parked anywhere, many times blocking the sidewalk. (For example, like in the attached picture from Grant street). The companies profiting from these scooters should provide appropriate parking racks. The usage of the scooters should be more clearly regulated too. They are used on sidewalks at very high speeds.
