Scooters, Bike-share and Related Issues
- Case Date:
- 9/21/2022
The BMCMPO received the following message/question from Mr. Sam Melchior (dsamuelm375@gmail.com) who asked the following:
"Hi,
I was wondering if there is any consideration of geo fencing the IU campus and downtown to control the dangerous use of e scooters. They are terribly dangerous and do not provide the safe eco friendly transportation advertised.
Sam, a concerned citizen "
We would ask that someone respond to Mr. Melchior regarding the geofencing of scooters within the City of Bloomington.
Thanks,
Pat Martin

There is trash blowing in the street and up and down the road. There is overflowing trash on the curb at this location. Looks like animals have ripped open bags.

We live in Meadowood a retirement community off 45/46. We have two entrances, one on Dunn and other Milo Sampson.
Both areas have issues with people running stop signs.. a lot!!
Coming in from Dunn street.. there is a 3 way stop at Dunn and Tamarack Trail. The traffic on Dunn is supposed to stop .. most of the time it’s a slow and go situation and other times it’s a don’t even slow down situation. This happens a lot. When we are leaving Meadowood and stopped at 3 way we are shocked at the number of vehicles that don’t stop. It’s a very dangerous situation for people on tamarack
The Milo Sampson entrance to Meadowood also has a 3 way stop. The main problem is traffic coming off 45/46 down the hill.. they mostly don’t stop at all and continue on into the IU facility. And same goes for when vehicles leave the IU facility. It’s especially bad in the mornings when staff arrive for work at IU.
We are an older crowd and enjoy walking in Meadowood area and the vehicles just don’t obey the stop signs
Can something be done?? Flashing lights on stop signs??
Thank you. I’ve also contacted the city about the trash along Milo Sampson but told IU maintenance does that.. and have contacted them numerous times but no action

I was attacked by three deer while walking my 17 yr. old dog. It was in the vicinity of Maxwell and Highland. This is not the first time and I am extremely upset that the city is doing nothing about this public nuisance.
