testing: bird scooters in street a 5th and walnut
Testing: Lime scooter in stree at 5th/walnut
These scooters have been parked along the curb of an on-street handicap parking space at the corner of Grant St. and Kirkwood Ave.
I just saw a black pickup truck with its bed overflowing with Bird scooters, seemingly not held down by anything, driving rather recklessly considering it could fling scooters into the road at any moment. I’m assuming this truck was being driven by one of Bird’s chargers.
This Lime Scooter was blocking the handicap accessible ramp on the north side of the law school. In the area of 4th and Indiana. I moved it because this was a serious problem that I could not leave as is. 9:30am. Scooter is nearby still. Hopefully some enforcement action can be taken.
Abandoned and apparently broken scooter lying on the sidewalk on the east side of Grant between Cottage Grove and 11th.
left in front of my house late last night or early morning....still there at 9pm. Contacted them to report. What are we supposed to do when this happens? I sent them an email to remove it. What rights do I have if it's still there tomorrow? In my email I told them they have till noon tomorrow, or I consider it abandoned property. It's not 'lost' property, since they know where they are with their gps chip. I do not understand how it's legal for them to operate.
Lime scooter driven through yard to destroy new grass seeding. 4021 E Morningside Drive. Parked in front yard of residential home inappropriately. This location needs to NOT be a scooter stop. There is no pavement available without obstructing sidewalk to park. Remove the scooter and no longer allow parking in this yard immediately.
Grass is an inappropriate parking location for scooters. Particularly grass, including newly seeded, in front residential yards. After reported concern recently, a Lime rep. came by and said 4021 E. Morningside was not a drop-off or parking location. Twice within the last week of that Lime rep. visit (including this morning) there has been another parked scooter where I am trying to grow grass first thing in the morning. Whether a drop-off by Lime or a Lime user early in the morning parking on my corner, Lime needs to see to it that this stops. If Lime cannot control the parking, the City should or zones be established for Lime riders to park that the app directs riders to. Thank you. I am not opposed to scooters, in fact I appreciate the option, but I am opposed to them damaging my yard without recourse and others similarly situated would feel likewise. A sidewalk is available in front of my home but no extra pavement so the scooter cannot be parked without blocking the sidewalk accessibility for those who need it. This location does not work for scooter parking purposes. Lime, please do better.
