Scooters, Bike-share and Related Issues

Case Date:
9/14/2023

We need to get rid of those electric public scooters. I am a big advocate for public transportation, but it is clear that the infrastructure of Bloomington is not meant to handle anything other than cars, foot traffic, or occasionally bicycles. The use of public electric scooters constantly poses a risk to pedestrians walking, or vehicles in motion. As a walker I have nearly been hit by one of these multiple times, and as a driver these things are such a liability due to their speed and the fact that most people who use them do not follow the rules, they just zip around. Last year a young man died on one of those scooters. This year another is injured. This is becoming a public safety emergency, so please for the sake of the bodily health of the citizens, ban these scooters.

Following up on case# #185581: The people who ride those scooters are typically rude dismissive of common decency. They ride fast on sidewalks even when there are people present, they ride them in the dark in groups, sometimes 2-3 on a single scooter, they *often* ride the wrong way on one-way streets, and if you make a comment to them about hazards they are creating they curse and/or gesture obscenely. Please please please ban them from the city. Yesterday there was another accident - 10th/Woodlawn this time. Does the City really want to be known as a place that encourages people to risk their lives, and turn a blind eye when people are injured or killed? How many more accidents is it going to take for you to wake up and stop the insanity.

Scooters, Bike-share and Related Issues

322 E Cottage Grove AVE

Case Date:

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.

Sewer Problems (Storm Sewers)

401 N Sheffield DR

Case Date:

This is a recurring problem. In the fall every time it rains, all the leaves come down to the lowest part Park ridge East that's in front of my house. The past 2 years they just come and clear out the actual grate and leave a pile of leaves around it. Which means next time it rains in about 5 minutes the grate will be clogged again. Also they pile the leaves up in my yard and kill my grass. These are not my leaves. They're from the street. Last winter we went around this and you guys ended up having to come with a dump truck after you put them all in the street and then the snow plows put them back in the grates and then they had to be pulled away from the drains and then they got plowed back into the grates and we had a ice shield here where it floods every time it rains more half inch. And I ended up coming with a dump truck and six people and carrying off all the leaves. The Men who cleared it this morning said this isn't the way they would do it if they had their choice. I've called the mayor's office and nobody has called me back. I gave you the day to do that. So now I'm reporting it on Ureport.

Sidewalk & Curb Complaints

Case Date:
4/3/2017

I work at Smallwood Plaza. Recently the traffic pattern on 8th street was changed from a one way to a two way. The city left a sign at the exit of our garage indicating that there had been a traffic change. (thank you). However we noticed after this weekend that someone had driven over the sign you provided so we brought it into the building. We have it here at the leasing office if you'd like to retrieve during our regular business hours. I just don't want us to be held responsible for damaging city property or not reporting/returning damaged property.
