BIRD scooter dropped in front yard / bushes of residential house near sidewalk.
Testing: Lime scooter in stree at 5th/walnut
Abandoned and apparently broken scooter lying on the sidewalk on the east side of Grant between Cottage Grove and 11th.
Lime scooter driven through yard to destroy new grass seeding. 4021 E Morningside Drive. Parked in front yard of residential home inappropriately. This location needs to NOT be a scooter stop. There is no pavement available without obstructing sidewalk to park. Remove the scooter and no longer allow parking in this yard immediately.
Grass is an inappropriate parking location for scooters. Particularly grass, including newly seeded, in front residential yards. After reported concern recently, a Lime rep. came by and said 4021 E. Morningside was not a drop-off or parking location. Twice within the last week of that Lime rep. visit (including this morning) there has been another parked scooter where I am trying to grow grass first thing in the morning. Whether a drop-off by Lime or a Lime user early in the morning parking on my corner, Lime needs to see to it that this stops. If Lime cannot control the parking, the City should or zones be established for Lime riders to park that the app directs riders to. Thank you. I am not opposed to scooters, in fact I appreciate the option, but I am opposed to them damaging my yard without recourse and others similarly situated would feel likewise. A sidewalk is available in front of my home but no extra pavement so the scooter cannot be parked without blocking the sidewalk accessibility for those who need it. This location does not work for scooter parking purposes. Lime, please do better.
Lime scooter laying in the parkway in front of 802 W 7th St for a week. It was blocking sidewalk then someone moved it.
This Lime Scooter was blocking the handicap accessible ramp on the north side of the law school. In the area of 4th and Indiana. I moved it because this was a serious problem that I could not leave as is. 9:30am. Scooter is nearby still. Hopefully some enforcement action can be taken.
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.
Hello, I would like to draw your attention to an issue with item 6 of the e-scooter guidelines on the city website; "6. Park the scooter in a bike rack or in another lawful spot on public property that does not block the right-of-way, limit access for individuals with disabilities, risk damaging private or public property, or jeopardize public safety." E-scooters should not be parked “in a bike rack” as they do not require locking and have their own kick-stand support. When e-scooters are parked inside of bike racks they are blocking access to a vital space for cyclists. Parking e-scooters in bike racks causes the same inconvenience to cyclists as parking e-scooters in the middle of a sidewalk causes to pedestrians. Failing to notice this basic issue feels like the city of Bloomington has forgotten or decided to ignore the needs of cyclists. I ask that the wording in the e-scooter guidelines be changed to ensure that bike racks are reserved for bikes and other vehicles that require locking, and proper notice be given to e-scooter users about this change. Thank you.
On High Street this morning, near the intersection with Atwater. A handicapped person in a motorized scooter could not pass by. Shame on the person who placed the scooters like this.
