Two Lime scooters have been on Pinewood Drive for over two weeks now in various places. Small children are trying to ride them. Currently they are located in 130-136 Pinewood Drive area. I cannot find a contact number for Lime to deal with this problem.
There seems to be a disabled Lime scooter lying flat at Willis and 17th St. (northeast on Willis) next to the small strip mall.
Today’s New York Times morning email newsletter from Leonard articulates well the horrific dangerous scooters pose to pedestrians. Please read it and pass it on to the council and the mayor.
Much has been written in the paper about the scooters. I feel we are in an impotent city if we cannot stop such an invasion which results in emergency room visits and the trashing up of our-what used to be -quaint town. Please just round them all up and then figure out how to proceed. They dumped them here without permission.
I believe I addressed this issue with letter to Mayor Hamilton but believe all the scooters should be rounded up until some regulations can be put together and enforced. There is a difference between entrepreneurship and negligence.
Several scooter riders are riding the scooters in the dismount zone along the north side of Kirkwood Avenue between Indiana and Dunn avenues. Increased (or any) enforcement of laws would be nice for a change.
6 bird scooters blocking sidewalk
Bird scooters are being left on the property of IU Health Southern Indiana Physicians at 1302 S Rogers. A representative for Bird was unloading them earlier and I asked that they not be left on our property due to liability concerns. She said she has to leave them where she is instructed.
(Sorry if you got this already---no indication that I was done and steps 4-6 are yours) In Walnut, just south of the PO. Pedestrian had stopped, looking at them. Curious? Annoyed?
