Two houses from where this scooter was parked in the 700 block of S Eastside Drive, there lives a blind person. She already has made one fall after a collision with a 'parked' scooter. I thought the scooter companies were not going to accept payment until they had proof (a picture?) that the renter had parked the scooter in a responsible manner. So much for that!

Walking down the sidewalk next to Monroe County Public Library last Saturday and had to walk through the mulch/grass to get around yet another scooter. This is an ongoing frustration of mine. As a disabled resident of the Bloomington community I feel as if I am no longer welcome in my home. Scooters are constantly left in the middle of sidewalks, on accessable ramps and entries, and the riders zoom past without regard to the physically challenged members of Bloomington. It makes me want to stay indoors hidden away for safety instead of enjoying the city and it's offerings.

Re case: 170740. Good to see the city passing the buck on all scooter related issues. Would be nice to see some actual enforcement. Scooters are constantly being left blocking downtown sidewalks, and the no scooters on downtown sidewalks rule seems to be completely ignored.

I really don't know what category this would fall under since it really encompasses several things, so I have just called it "other."
I see that in case #170862, there has been a complaint regarding speeding through the W. 12th, 13th, and Illinois Streets area. This is very much like a report I made a few months ago regarding speeding on W. 11th St between N. Adams St. and Fountain Dr. (I don't have the specific case #)
The statement in case 170862 is correct. There are children, pedestrians, a transit stop, and an increasing amount of scooter traffic in this area. I am assuming that it's because of the increasing density on Crescent Rd., but the traffic is heavy on W. 11th, and there are many drivers who run through the section between Adams and the curve at Fountain Dr at a speed well above that of a residential area. I own seven pieces of property on Oolitic and W. 11th, so I am there a lot to see it. One issue is that there are no speed limit signs either direction in the area between Adams and Fountain Dr. This is an issue that can be remedied, and I am hoping that speed limit signs can be placed. A second issue is the design of the road encourages speed. It doesn't look like a residential street. This is a much more complicated issue. I would like to put in a request that, at some point, the section of W. 11th between N. Adams and Fountain Dr. receive curbs on both sides. This is still zoned residential despite the presence of C&S and the one artisan property. This brings me to a third issue. Residential/neighborhood streets are typically limited at 25 MPH. In addition, Tri-North is right there and numerous students walk to and from school. I would like to request that the speed limit on W. 11th from the railroad bridge to Fountain Dr be reduced to 25 MPH. It is currently 30.
Finally, I know that the police department is stretched thin. More officers are needed and I absolutely understand that fact, to say nothing about the fact that they have to argue to get a city contract put through. However, I do hope that, whenever possible, an officer can radar monitor for speeders on that section of W. 11th. Please note, I did see an officer pull over a speeder. Thank you for that. I don't wish to get people in trouble. I only wish for safety. That isn't an industrial artery, it IS a residential street.
Thank you for your time.
