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.

Why does your city survey ask people how many times they voted in the last month?

Any idea what happened with the development that was going in on the Kmart off third? At one point a developer was holding talks. Would love to see some action there.

I'm not sure who would do this, but I think Bloomington, Indiana, needs to do a famous people of Bloomington historical exhibit somewhere. I learned today Mick Foley (a wrestling legend) is from Bloomington! Who knew! Why isn't this celebrated and out there in the public. Invite this man to give a speech or something!

Is there some tool to send comments to Council? Why are people who supposedly supporting affordable housing instead supporting elite neighborhood interests pretending that the very prospect of duplexes in the core of a city somehow destroys neighborhoods? What a joke. Way to help the rich stay rich at a time of extreme housing crisis. It's a flipping duplex in areas that they make sense, not a skyscraper or dump site. Please send to their offices my concern that they are but catering to the faux progressives more concerned with their net worth that has already exploded in those homes above community need.

Social Workers should NOT be reporting to police officers and police command. Stop being performative. Dispatch can be shared but social service calls should be handled separately by individuals who are accountable to their professional ethics and not a police force with inherently differentiated goals. Social workers should not exist for image control and saving money through less 911 calls, they should exist to help people, particularly the marginalized. Restructure before it's too late for these individuals to work WITH police, not for them. A shameful policy choice that you can still correct.

So Hamilton won't do anything about the log pile mess between Arden and Greenbriar... "it's Duke / it's their contractor". OK, fine. You want to avoid dealing with problems YOU (Hamilton) have created. Do you want to do anything about all the felled street tree stumps and the problems they have created? I'm trying to mow around your stumps, but your garbage efforts have left large ruts, logs, and rocks around the stumps that are killing my mower. Meanwhile, TWO MONTHS later I'm still dealing with your garbage decisions, lazy refuse, and ugly mess left between stages of your extended endless programs of the "activity trail". FINISH IT.

Hello. Is there a list of Pride Month (June) activities city government is sponsoring, hosting, or supporting in some way? Thank you.

I really like the new dismount zone signs on the sidewalks at the corners of intersections on Kirkwood. Much easier to notice than the signs on the poles (too high for riders to notice) By the way it looks like someone removed the one on the corner sidewalk at Kirkwood and Indiana so it needs to be replaced. Wish these were placed around the courthouse square too so riders could see them. Like I said I don't think the ones on the poles are useful. They are just too high to be noticed. The signs on the sidewalks are much easier to see. Thanks

It would be cool if our area didn’t lose power as much. But with as much as the traffic lights here go out you’d think y’all could get a battery or somethin
