My son is a bicycle commuter to North HS. We were thrilled last week that the bypass bike lanes were cleared. However, this morning the path was completely covered. He was disappointed and late for school, of course. We'll use an alternate route tomorrow, but wanted to alert the city to the fact that it appears INDOT tossed the snow onto the path.
This morning around 8:30 the SW corner of Maxwell Lane and Woodlawn. Four scooters were set up out of the way. The other two blocked the sidewalk. I moved those two in between the other four. I did---so could a "juicer." Thanks.
Sunday around 1 PM 3 girls on scooters turned from Dunn Street sidewalk on to Kirkwood sidewalk. Ignored being told not to ride on sidewalk. Of course. Please hurry up with those signs and patrolling. Also please---I assume we are supposed to use the map to locate the event for you, but how?
Kaleb Crain's motorized chair blocked by 3 scooters on the sidewalk on Woodcrest near 3rd. He posted it in Facebook on November 30 at 11:25. This chair is a mobility device. Scooters are optional alternative transport. Please stop calling them mobility devices.
Bird Scooters parked on the corner of Eastside and Mxwell. If there would be a person in a wheelchair trying to get onto the sidewalk at that corner, they would have trouble. Shame on you BIRD. The way they are placed I cannot believe they were left like that by the users.
Car parked across the sidewalk and into the street. West side of Washington not far from 1st. Around 11:40 Sunday morning.
West side of 500 block of S. Washington. Sidewalk cracked, broken, and heaved up by tree growth. Does the city claim sidewalk repair is the responsibility of adjacent property owner? What about the goal of walkability?
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.
No snow plowed on Trotters Run on Friday or Saturday, Jan 12-13. All other side streets in Hyde Park have been plowed. Please make sure to clear the snow now and in the future.
Apartment Complexes in the area? Why is it that the apartments have the sidewalk on the outside of the building cleaned but the inside court yards NOTHING is cleaned? I have seen several of the lower class apartment complexes people must pay rent on time yet when we have bad weather we still get no credit for being people living in the buildings? We are not appreciated cause we are LOWER CLASS? discrimination to me. Where is the R E S P E C T FOR US!!!!
