I would like to ask the City of Bloomington to begin considering steps to put ordinances, rules, regulations on these Bird Scooters that have infiltrated our city. I have seen almost every person riding in violation of the safety rules the company urges. There have been two people on a scooter, all of them without helmets, and riding on sidewalks/all over campus. They are getting parked on campus bike racks, cluttering up side walks, and generally are unsafe and without any kind of ordinance in place, could only cause potential risk to both car drivers, pedestrians, cyclists etc. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-45596449 There are known deaths on these modes of transportation. Indianapolis enacted an ordinance after unsafe crashes had occurred. Bloomington needs to be aware of the risk and make stations for these scooters with agreements on proper use.

Two things: One) There is an encampment at 415 S Walnut (in front of iMechanic) that is growing and basically taking over the sidewalk at this point. Please remove them before this gets out of hand. Two) Can we please just add a dedicated category for reporting homeless and encampments on uReport. It is arguably the largest issue facing the city yet there is not a specific category to address it. Let's be honest and direct about the problem so we can actually address it.
Out front of the iMechanic shop there is a growing encampment that is taking over the scooter corral and the sidewalk.
light is out
When is the city going to repair the broken and crooked iconic street lamps on Hawthorne?
At llam this morning, as I crossed Atwater at Fess, I noticed that all of the street lights both east and west of Fess on Atwater were on. The weather had been sunny all day, so if there are light detectors on the street lights, they are not working. If they are timed, then the timers are not working.
The street light in front of the Maple Grove Apartments (408 S. Dunn St.) has been out for the past couple of weeks. It is very dark at night, and it could prove to be a hazard.
