What is the deal with these electric scooters everywhere?? I realize they are fun and also help students (or, mostly students I have seen) get around, but they are literally LITTERING the streets. In one block on my walk to work, there were five scooters parked. I rode my bike to work this afternoon and there were five scooters parked in front of the Indiana Ave. Starbucks, and I had to move two of them to use the bike rack because they were completely blocking the rack. I have seen them abandoned everywhere, including on the trail around Bryan Park. Is the business to put them out going around to collect them at any point? If so, how often are they collecting them? Does the city have rules on these things? Are we supposed to share sidewalks with electric scooters? I am all for alternative transportation, and love the PACE bike program, but these scooters seem to be out of control.

There is a Bird Scooter partially blocking the sidewalk in front of the PACE bicycle share rack directly across from Bloomington Bagel Company on Dunn Avenue.
