Bird scooter blocking sidewalk. These 2 have been there for 2 days now. We have a nearly blind lady in our neighborhood. Can you imagine what happens if she walks her dog and does not realize that these 2 monsters are in her path! 1807 E Second Drive
Bird scooter blocking the sidewalk for over 7days on the corner of the North side of East 3rd and S. Meadowbrook Dr.
About ten "Bird" scooters are parked on the street on Grant just north of 7th. There is no scooter corral at this location, and they are blocking a parking spot for cars.
Abandoned scooter blocking the sidewalk and accessibility to the wheelchair ramp. Second note requesting city support for removal.
On High Street this morning, near the intersection with Atwater. A handicapped person in a motorized scooter could not pass by. Shame on the person who placed the scooters like this.
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.
I reported a scooter parked here on S Park Ave---714, I think--two days ago. Here is another this morning.
There is a Lime scooter parked right in the middle of the narrow sidewalk on west 3rd St. near the alley between Maple and Euclid. It's near my house and I would like it removed.
On Monday April 22 I reported a Lime scooter completely blocking the sidewalk. It has now been turned over off the sidewalk onto someone's property. Will someone please remove this eyesore.
There were not only these scooters, but 2 more in the middle of the Morton-Grimes lot next to these, plus 2 more to the side. There was a scooter in the middle of the B Line Monday morning. More scooters at the B Line and Allen intersection. I almost always see turned over scooters on the B Line going south from Allen, Bird and Lime. My suggestion is to have huge dumpsters so the riders can simply dump them, as I know often the companies do, a scooter landfill! What a shame!
