Veo scooter blocking the sidewalk. Welcome back IU students.

10/4/2023

A man picking up scooters from a corral today at 10:30am who was driving a pickup with a large trailor had parked in the middle of Grant Street at this location while attending to the scooters, blocking passage of vehicles traveling south. As I rode by (bicycle, not a scooter) he aggressively moved into what remained of the available street to use, attempted to block my path and emitted a deranged, sneering sound as I passed. It was a dangerous and unnecessary thing for him to do. He was possibly in his 30s, was a bit overweight and seemed a bit "limited". Please inform the scooter companies that their employees should be trained to respect people around them while they are working.

I would like to ask the City of Bloomington to begin considering steps to put ordinances, rules, regulations on these Bird Scooters that have infiltrated our city. I have seen almost every person riding in violation of the safety rules the company urges. There have been two people on a scooter, all of them without helmets, and riding on sidewalks/all over campus. They are getting parked on campus bike racks, cluttering up side walks, and generally are unsafe and without any kind of ordinance in place, could only cause potential risk to both car drivers, pedestrians, cyclists etc. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-45596449 There are known deaths on these modes of transportation. Indianapolis enacted an ordinance after unsafe crashes had occurred. Bloomington needs to be aware of the risk and make stations for these scooters with agreements on proper use.
