Scooters, Bike-share and Related Issues

501 N Morton ST

Case Date:
2/4/2019

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.
