Scooters, Bike-share and Related Issues

Case Date:
10/11/2018

Hello, My name is Lauren Fox. I am the Facilities Manager at Middle Way House. Every morning there is an increasing amount of scooters on our side walk and outside of our buildings. I have attached two pictures of where I have been finding them. I would prefer not to have any of them on our private property. I wanted to share these images to ensure that the spaces being used are in deed public space therefore we must permit them to be there. Thank you for your time and I look forward to your response, Lauren Fox ps- I have sent these twice- each one with a different picture

Traffic Suggestions

Case Date:
10/11/2018

I am writing to express my opposition to the proposed changes to the traffic flow on Walnut, College, Atwater and Third Street for the following reasons: Traffic congestion on third street due the numerous busses that stop at each bus stop would make travel east on third street trecherous for drivers and pedestrians. Changing Walnut and College would require changing parking configurations and meters, a cost that is not small. There are many other more pressing needs in Bloomington for individuals with limited incomes, like housing. Also, if in fact there are facts to back the statement about cars going 40 Mph, why is there not a way to change the lights to prevent a person from reaching that speed. If in fact, that has found to be a problem by local law enforcement. Delivery trucks often block one lane of both College and Walnut and with two way traffic there will be traffic interuptions and the possibility for drivers taking dangerous risks to be able to get by the parked trucks. I have not seen evidence that crossing s street with two way traffic is less dangerous than crossing a street with one way traffic. We live in an age where instant gratification is rampid so people will take risks crossing the street, as I have seen. I saw a comment from one business in town, Gratzis, that wants the change. I have not seen that a survey of the other businesses has found. However, I question whether this is a business recommendation based onother cities or what. I can only hope that the outside company that is making these proposals has experience in working with communities with Bloomington’s unique town and gown population.

Potholes, Other Street Repair

2801 S Leonard Springs RD

Case Date:
10/10/2018

This intersection is so bad. Is there not anything that can be done to smooth it out a little bit? It feels like you are off-roading on it. I've reported it before and was told it was fine. It would be if you are driving a truck or SUV, but in a car, you bottom out. Please fix this before it tears up someone's car.

Scooters, Bike-share and Related Issues

Case Date:
10/10/2018

Four scooters were parked at 7:45 today transversely on the sidewalk on fourth street next to Taste of India. They are blocking the sidewalk. If someone with a wheelchair of a baby stroller gets to this point, they won't be able to use the sidewalk. This is just an example, but in general these scooters, which have recently appeared in Bloomington, are usually badly parked. Also it should not be allowed to ride these scooters on sidewalks since they travel very fast! Please do something to regulate the usage of the scooters. Best regards, Carmen
