Scooters, Bike-share and Related Issues
- Case Date:
- 9/28/2022
I have contacted the city of Bloomington and Indiana University concerning electric scooters and bikes predominately used by IU students. The scooters especially are extremely dangerous as and a hazard to all other forms of transportation including pedestrians. There is also one specific e bike which is privately owned and used by a driver in all black clothing usually while riding in the Bloomington Rail Trail at least going 30 mph or more. To get rider has no regard for others and risks harm to many elderly, children and families who use the trail. This person should not be allowed on the trail. I have been to several other communities who have restricted use of these hazardous vehicles through the use of geo-fencing, security and other methods. I would like to discuss this issue with someone to help resolve this problem. Thanks.

Park Ridge East's traffic calming signs acquired through HAND have been destroyed repeatedly. Greenway improvements are to take place 2024 we are told? But any shortening of that timeline would be greatly appreciated. There is high speed, cut-through traffic, and people who desperately need something more than a plastic sign to convince them to drive safely.

The car lanes all along 7th street this morning were completely clear, while the bike lanes were filled with a thick blanket of soggy, slippery leaves. A bike is infinitely more likely than a car to slip on leaves, so why would you prioritize cars and an appearance of tidiness for drivers over the safety of bikers and those around them?

On Woodscrest in front of the old T- Mobile building: purple Rejuv Easthetics Spa sign.
Is that in the ROW? There is a similar one at the E Third entrance to the church at the corner of E Third and Woodscrest. If that also is in the ROW, let me know, then I can write INDOT.
