abandoned scooter
The scooter is still on the corner of 3rd Street and Meadowbrook, blocking the handicapped-accessible sidewalk ramp. This issue will eventually lead to an accident. Please immediately remove this nuisance from the sidewalk accessibility ramp. I went outside at 5:09 PM and took the picture uploaded here.
Blue, electric Bird bicycle has been sitting by the road (Grant) across from Grant Street Inn for at least a week.
Blue Bird bicycle sitting by road for at least a week.
Red/orange electric bicycle with basket ("Lime+Uber") lying by side of Dunn Street.
A Lime e-bike has been parked on the sidewalk since the Labor Day weekend (Saturday). Can the neighbors and I bring it somewhere so it is no longer a hazard? To Switchyard Park? Also, what is the town of Bloomington's law regarding how long these rented vehicles can remain abandoned on a public sidewalk? And if a pedestrian is injured by this e-bike while blocking the sidewalk, would the law go after the town of Bloomington, the entity that has legalized this type of vehicle's use? Previously, there was an e-bike on my neighbor's front lawn for six weeks. My neighbor should be given a form of payment for use/rental of the front lawn for the vehicle's storage. ELIDA C.

See report #193268. The bicycle is still there. Bird did *not* take care of it. It is east of Basswood and west of South Stone on the north side of Bloomfield Road, sort of in the middle of nowhere. Easily seen by motorists.
