Scooters blocking sidewalk and stairs in front of Johnson Creamery building. There were even more farther down where the sidewalk is more narrow, you can see them in the background in the attached photo. Saw eight of them total and all of them were in the middle of the sidewalk.
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?
Testing
Monday morning, Wylie just east of Woodlawn. Probably started out parked fine and then one fell over. Maybe the kickstands need improvement. I give location here rather on your map. I can find and set the location on the map but not figure out what to do to include it with this report which I assume you would like done. More instructions please.
Maybe I already reported but there was a point when reCAPTCHA took too long and I gave up. This was the Saturday after Thanksgiving on Fess just south of 2nd Street. When scooters are parked or staged like this it's pretty clear someone thinks scooters have priority over pedestrians. Not surprising, given the Mayor's failure to lead in this issue
