Bird Scooter was dumped in front yard by mailbox
Bird Scooter was dumped in front yard by mailbox
Good Morning, My name is Lauren and I am the Facilities Manager at Middle Way House. Due to the nature of our work I am requesting that Lime not stage their scooters on our property. We do what we can to limit the public from loitering around our buildings. I have filled out a form on Lime’s website but wanted to follow up with you all as well. Thank you for considering another public location for these scooters to be set up. Lauren Fox
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.
There's a bike share bike abandoned at the corner of Winslow and Piccadilly
Today’s New York Times morning email newsletter from Leonard articulates well the horrific dangerous scooters pose to pedestrians. Please read it and pass it on to the council and the mayor.
Lime 3038 parked on north side of 4th Street sidewalk. No problem for most of us, but for someone in a wheelchair, using a walker or white cane it could be.
Scooter tipped over, entirely blocking sidewalk
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.
There are 12 scooters in the library courtyard around the bear statues. Please have these removed. We don’t want them here.
Three scooters at the curb on 6th Street across from Poplars Garage. Tuesday 8:10 am. Could be the car parked after the Limes were staged. Could be there was no passenger whom the scooters would have blocked from getting out. But scooters curbside always potentially block passengers from getting out.
