Urgent Safety Concern – Motorized Bikes Speeding and Racing in The Stands/Jackson Creek Area I am writing to report an ongoing and increasingly serious safety concern in The Stands neighborhood and the surrounding areas, including near Jackson Creek Middle School, Jackson Creek Trail, and Rogers Family Park. For several months, three young people riding motorized bikes/mopeds have been repeatedly speeding and racing together throughout the neighborhood. They sometimes ride on the roadway and sometimes on sidewalks and pedestrian paths. They appear to be traveling at extremely high speeds and do not slow down or give adequate space to pedestrians, people walking dogs, or other residents using the paths. The bikes/mopeds are also extremely loud. This has become particularly distressing for our dog, who is frightened by the sudden noise and speed of the bikes. More importantly, I am very concerned that someone—especially a child, pedestrian, cyclist, or someone walking a dog—could be seriously injured. The riders are racing close to pedestrians and moving at speeds that make it difficult for people to react or get out of the way. This is not an isolated incident. It has been happening repeatedly for months, and residents are becoming increasingly concerned about someone's safety. I am asking the Bloomington Police Department to please take this complaint seriously and increase patrols/enforcement in The Stands and the surrounding Jackson Creek Middle School/Rogers Family Park area, particularly during the times when these riders are typically present. If possible, I would also appreciate having an officer observe the area and address the situation before someone is injured. Please take action on this issue before there is a serious accident or injury. Thank you for your attention to this important neighborhood safety concern.

Someone abandoned a Bird scooter in street, intersection of Rose and Dexter. I support these as transit option in town! But these should not be cluttering residential neighborhoods -- both for safety issue and eyesore.
