On September 20, 2022, I was riding my bicycle on the 10th street trail near the eastside Post Office. I saw a man on a scooter coming toward me, in the middle of the trail, riding very fast. I maneuvered to avoid him and crashed my bike, rolling onto the pavement and grass. I was hoping my hurt ankle was only a sprain, but I could not walk on it. The next day, I went to a walk-in orthopedic clinic and learned my foot was broken in 4 places. I am still recovering. Please include this instance in any records the City keeps about scooters. Although a ban on scooters is unlikely, some limits on speed and place may help reduce incidences like mine. Thank you.

For the past three days, I have observed an abandoned rental e-scooter along the east side of the High Street sidewalk north of Arden and the Moores Creek stop light. It is on the north side of the hill about halfway between Arden and Morores Creek.

I am a student at Indiana University. The electronic scooters have been insanely helpful to navigating the campus when busses are full or running late. I appreciate the no-parking zones, as they help keep the sidewalks freer of the scooters and allow for accessibile use. My issue currently is that there are official IU Campus buildings registered as no-parking zones. In particular, the Arts Annex building on 12th and Woodlawn. I am asking for the city of Bloomington to work with IU officials on clearly labeling campus buildings where scooter parking zones should be present. Then, the city of Bloomington takes that info to the electronic scooter companies to update their apps and services.

About ten "Bird" scooters are parked on the street on Grant just north of 7th. There is no scooter corral at this location, and they are blocking a parking spot for cars.
