Scooter blocking sidewalk. Also broken office chair, blocking sidewalk.
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.
Someone has left a Lime Scooter in the drainage swale outside 705 S. Clifton Ave. It risks blocking drainage and is also partly on private property.

Bird scooter improperly parked in sidewalk at NE corner of 1st and Henderson
Corner of Wylie and South Woodlawn. Pavement has dropped (2 inches?) In the northbound lane of Woodlawn. It's impossible to miss like a pothole because the dropped pavement has formed a hard ledge you jolt over. This would likely throw an e-scooter rider forward over their handlebars. Gives me a serious jolt in the car so very dangerous. It has been previously patched but is continuing to drop quickly. May need to check for collapsed infrastructure under the road. I will take a picture if requested.

There is a Bird scooter abandoned at the corner of 1st and S. Sheridan. It has not been moved in over a week, other than when I have to pick it up out of the roadway.
