Scooter blocking the sidewalk. Very loud and unpleasant music playing on the porch.
The pavement breakup at the intersection of Winslow Farm Drive and So. Highland is really getting awful. I am almost unable to cross that area in my mobility scooter to access the sidewalk to Winslow Sports Complex. Also, a pothole has developed at the SOUTHERN intersection of Moss Creek Drive and Winslow Farm Drive. Several other intersections in Winslow Farm also could use maintenance.
I biked downtown this afternoon for a trip to the public library. Upon arrival I discovered that every space in the bike racks surrounding the library were taken by Veo scooters. Attempting to move a scooter to park my bike was extremely difficult, as the scooter wheels immediately locked up, and scooters are simply to heavy to lift and move. Allowing a private scooter company to completely monopolize all available bike parking around the public library is not acceptable. Why is this allowed? Could the rules around scooters in the city be reviewed and this specific issue addressed? To clarify, I don't believe users had parked the scooters here. It seems as if they were deployed and staged in these spots. Thank you.

Here in Winslow Farm it appears that almost none of our sidewalks intersect with the road in an ADA compliant manner. My Wife was transitioning from this sidewalk end to the street (East Winslow Farm Drive)and her mobility scooter tipped over dumping her in the road. She sustained three serious wounds which required a trip to the emergency room, where we spent fives hours. I don't know if this is a city issue, Winslow Farm issue, or combination of the two. She is not the only mobility challenged resident here and I would hate to see someone else seriously injured.
