Scooters are the latest scourge on Bloomington and it seems that our city officials refuse to directly address the issue. The unenforceable regulations that tie them to bicycles is ridiculous. I walk downtown routinely and each time I have gone downtown I have experiences a scooter whizzing by me on the sidewalk in the "dismount" zone. Motorized vehicles should not be on sidewalks, period. They also continue to litter the downtown and neighborhoods. They lay everywhere and create an unsightly mess all over town. Bloomington is quickly becoming a less desirable city in which to live because of our mayor's and city council's inability to deal with this latest invasion.

scooters are blocking streets and sidewalks all over town

They fly across the street, at night, through the crosswalk, no lights, no warning, wearing black. This has happened in front of me three times in the last 6 weeks. I am an extremely safe driver--I actually go the speed limit. I stop feet before the stop line. I look both ways multiple times, even with a green light, yet I almost hit three of them. I hate them, they make the city look cheap. I am from Seattle and have seen how bad that city and the cities surrounding it about 30 miles have gone down in the last 6 years. Bloomington is well on its way to being like those cities, somewhere people will not want to send their kids to college. Scooters is just one more reason to avoid Bloomington. I have a teenage son, 9th grade, and are making college plans, but I don't really want him at IU due to the downtown problems with the homeless and panhandlers, etc.--it's not safe. We are looking at other colleges.

Lime e-scooters have been dumped, partially in the street near the intersection of Etter Drive and Stephens in the Eastern Heights addition. This have been unused, and are certainly unwanted, and need to be removed from the street, and not placed on anyone's private property. Thank You.

This is on E Second near the footbridge close to Anita. These scooters were not left by the users. They were out there bright and early on Dec. 5. Totally blocking the sidewalk. A disgrace. Show this to Mr. BIRD!
