I think the scooters, as currently used, are a bad idea. They are dangerous to riders and pedestrians and pose a hazard to motorists, besides clutter our sidewalks. Environmentally, I think of them as a large-scale manifestation of the American disposable razor mentally. At the very least, they need to be thoughtfully regulated. If not banned entirely, then, as motorized vehicles, they should be confined to streets or bike lanes and obey traffic laws, with fines resulting for violations. While we are at it, bicycles should not be allowed on sidewalks either. I am all for low carbon emissions, but I am not convinced the scooters are a safe and green alternative to walking or biking or taking a bus.

701 S Highland--there are 8 scooters here today; none have been taken. They are taking up parking spaces in the street and are an eyesore. If I cannot park my car in front of my own house without buying a permit, are these really allowed to do so? I would like them taken out of the neighborhood--they've been festering for the last week or so, and we are not a scooter-riding neighborhood.

Scooters are the latest scourge on Bloomington and it seems that our city officials refuse to directly address the issue. The unenforceable regulations that tie them to bicycles is ridiculous. I walk downtown routinely and each time I have gone downtown I have experiences a scooter whizzing by me on the sidewalk in the "dismount" zone. Motorized vehicles should not be on sidewalks, period. They also continue to litter the downtown and neighborhoods. They lay everywhere and create an unsightly mess all over town. Bloomington is quickly becoming a less desirable city in which to live because of our mayor's and city council's inability to deal with this latest invasion.

We have called Bird Scooters twice, and asked them to have their "wranglers" not leave 3-4 scooters in front of our house every day. They always apologize, say this will be resolved - and nothing changes. We would like to know what, if anything, we can do about this. Are home owners really just stuck putting up with this? We live in a historic home, and can't paint our front porch without getting permission, yet someone can line up four scooters along our wrought-iron fence without a care. What recourse do we have that the city will support?

When is the city going to pick up the leaves that have been piled in the gutters now for weeks? Already piles have been run over and if rain comes the sewers will be blocked (again) with the leaves.

We've been waiting almost 10 years for you to replace the "Claybridge Dr." street sign on the SW corner of Claybridge Dr. and Canada Dr. The street post has been empty for ages.

The trash truck destroyed the lid on our container. Could we please have a new one, at least the lid? Thanks! Dan Hazel 827 S Whitley Dr, 47401 812-327-9461

In the 400 block of Eastside Drive, next to house #500, on the north side of the hunter footpath: several (inoperable?) vehicles parked on the grass. This looks like a true junk yard to us.
