Theo scooter parked in the middle of the sidewalk on the south west corner of the intersection
This specific incident involved a Lime scooter, but I urge you to please ban ALL motorized scooters from Bloomington. My family and I were just coming back from the airport yesterday when we saw a young woman collide head-first into a car in cross-traffic (without a helmet because of course, none of these scooters come with helmets) because her brake stopped working. This was no one's fault but the manufacturers'. But given how much they make, I'm doubtful much will come out of it if she were to take legal action. There have been so many accidents (some fatal, as you know) in so many cities, including ours, due to these companies dumping scooter after scooter onto seemingly every busy sidewalk, and it is completely within your control to ban them here--after all, Indianapolis did. I would like to know your reasons for allowing them to continue to be used in Bloomington when we know how dangerous they have and will continue to be, as long as they are on the streets.. Just how many more accidents must we see and hear about until something concrete is done?
A broken scooter (handle bars have been removed) has been lying at the corner of Wylie and Lincoln for weeks and is blocking the sidewalk. I reported this one before, but nothing has been done.
Broken glass by the stone blocks on the north side of the tot playground at Bryan Park. Large pieces were picked up, but there are still small shards on the sidewalk between the large stones (just northeast of the bee riding toy, right in front of the stone block the farthest to the west).

4 scooters are reported as blocking the sidewalk on the Southwest corner of College and 2nd Street.
You want green transportation but don't enforce homeowner sidewalk repair or overgrowth AT ALL. Check the reports and be proactive beyond.
