Four Bird Scooters left in front of residence blocking public sidewalk 514 N Washington Street, Bloomington, IN
Red/orange electric bicycle with basket ("Lime+Uber") lying by side of Dunn Street.
4 scooters are reported as blocking the sidewalk on the Southwest corner of College and 2nd Street.
7 scooters blocking sidewalk at 2nd street and High street. Man tripped and hurt himself on them
Much has been written in the paper about the scooters. I feel we are in an impotent city if we cannot stop such an invasion which results in emergency room visits and the trashing up of our-what used to be -quaint town. Please just round them all up and then figure out how to proceed. They dumped them here without permission.
I believe I addressed this issue with letter to Mayor Hamilton but believe all the scooters should be rounded up until some regulations can be put together and enforced. There is a difference between entrepreneurship and negligence.
Bird scooters are being left on the property of IU Health Southern Indiana Physicians at 1302 S Rogers. A representative for Bird was unloading them earlier and I asked that they not be left on our property due to liability concerns. She said she has to leave them where she is instructed.
(Sorry if you got this already---no indication that I was done and steps 4-6 are yours) In Walnut, just south of the PO. Pedestrian had stopped, looking at them. Curious? Annoyed?
This morning around 8:30 the SW corner of Maxwell Lane and Woodlawn. Four scooters were set up out of the way. The other two blocked the sidewalk. I moved those two in between the other four. I did---so could a "juicer." Thanks.
Sunday around 1 PM 3 girls on scooters turned from Dunn Street sidewalk on to Kirkwood sidewalk. Ignored being told not to ride on sidewalk. Of course. Please hurry up with those signs and patrolling. Also please---I assume we are supposed to use the map to locate the event for you, but how?
