Scooters, Bike-share and Related Issues

Case Date:
10/3/2018

The new scooters are a bad idea. They are everywhere and haphazardly parked on sidewalks, entrances, etc. More concerning is the of the scooters use on public streets, especially at night. They are much slower and difficult to see. What a terrible idea by the city. It is just a matter of time that I think someone will get hurt. Please reconsider allowing these scooters, or at least limit the use and scope of these scooters.

Blocked Sidewalk

320 W 8th ST

Case Date:

What is the deal with these electric scooters everywhere?? I realize they are fun and also help students (or, mostly students I have seen) get around, but they are literally LITTERING the streets. In one block on my walk to work, there were five scooters parked. I rode my bike to work this afternoon and there were five scooters parked in front of the Indiana Ave. Starbucks, and I had to move two of them to use the bike rack because they were completely blocking the rack. I have seen them abandoned everywhere, including on the trail around Bryan Park. Is the business to put them out going around to collect them at any point? If so, how often are they collecting them? Does the city have rules on these things? Are we supposed to share sidewalks with electric scooters? I am all for alternative transportation, and love the PACE bike program, but these scooters seem to be out of control.

Excessive Growth

321 N Maple ST

Case Date:
10/3/2018

Original U-Report case #165949 Excessive Growth: Vegetation is growing over the sidewalk on the Maple Street side of house. Sidewalk is impassible the entire length. You have to walk out in the street. Looks terrible and is a safety issue. It's been 16 days since I reported this and the case is still open. Just wondering if this fell through the cracks? Thanks.

Biking & Walking

Case Date:

The intersection at tenth and the bypass has a very dangerous intersection for pedestrians and cyclist. On the north east corner the sidewalk does not have an accessible ramp up the curb unless pedestrians walk into oncoming traffic that often does not slow or yield to the pedestrian right of way. I have had many close calls at this intersection and now there is not a sign when crossing to the east. Please correct this before someone is kill or badly injured.

People daily continue to zip through stop signs going north and south at Smith and Morningside. It is dangerous. PLEASE can the City add flashing lights to the stop signs at least the Smith ones, paint the crosswalks back and/or something to help enforce people properly stopping there . Thank you!!
