This is Susan Sandberg and there has been a PACE bike left at the N. Fritz Drive cul-de-sac by the fire hydrant for several weeks. Our address is 2201 N. Fritz Drive, and the bike probably can't be seen from the Bypass as it is down the hill.
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.
Scooters fully blocking sidewalk crossing at 2nd and Dunn as of 12:30 this afternoon.
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!

Scooter partially blocking sidewalk. I tried to do this, including a picture, (it’s next to a no parking sign.), but the app doesn’t work.
Hello, I would like to draw your attention to an issue with item 6 of the e-scooter guidelines on the city website; "6. Park the scooter in a bike rack or in another lawful spot on public property that does not block the right-of-way, limit access for individuals with disabilities, risk damaging private or public property, or jeopardize public safety." E-scooters should not be parked “in a bike rack” as they do not require locking and have their own kick-stand support. When e-scooters are parked inside of bike racks they are blocking access to a vital space for cyclists. Parking e-scooters in bike racks causes the same inconvenience to cyclists as parking e-scooters in the middle of a sidewalk causes to pedestrians. Failing to notice this basic issue feels like the city of Bloomington has forgotten or decided to ignore the needs of cyclists. I ask that the wording in the e-scooter guidelines be changed to ensure that bike racks are reserved for bikes and other vehicles that require locking, and proper notice be given to e-scooter users about this change. Thank you.
