There are 4 scooters outside my house. Measuring from the point farthest inward on the sidewalk, they leave 31" of room between them and the curb; less near the ramp to the street. They were right along our yard. Last night I sent a note about the 4 from the previous day; it was sent at about 5 and was going to be looked in to that day. At 9 when I went to bed, they were still there.
We received a request from a young woman living in Park Ridge East. She is concerned that there is no sidewalk on Sheffield Drive between Plymouth Road and Park Ridge Road as this is a path for children to walk to Park Ridge East Park. The bus picks up children in this area and they have no where to wait for the bus.
Just south of 11th, on the west side of rogers, 4 lime scooters parked on the sidewalk. This is a 4ft path I walk twice a day with my kids (3 abreast), going to fairview. This is a nuissance to us. remove them by 3:30pm or I will.
This huge tree branch has been blocking the sidewalk since a storm in mid October. It was reported not long after the storm, but the branch is STILL blocking the sidewalk causing pedestrians to walk in the street.
Car parked across the sidewalk and into the street. West side of Washington not far from 1st. Around 11:40 Sunday morning.
West side of 500 block of S. Washington. Sidewalk cracked, broken, and heaved up by tree growth. Does the city claim sidewalk repair is the responsibility of adjacent property owner? What about the goal of walkability?
Scooters are the latest scourge on Bloomington and it seems that our city officials refuse to directly address the issue. The unenforceable regulations that tie them to bicycles is ridiculous. I walk downtown routinely and each time I have gone downtown I have experiences a scooter whizzing by me on the sidewalk in the "dismount" zone. Motorized vehicles should not be on sidewalks, period. They also continue to litter the downtown and neighborhoods. They lay everywhere and create an unsightly mess all over town. Bloomington is quickly becoming a less desirable city in which to live because of our mayor's and city council's inability to deal with this latest invasion.
Scooters are blocking the sidewalk on the northeast corner of Highland and 2nd St. Numerous complaints about misplacement at this location have been reported to Lime.
Scooters fully blocking sidewalk crossing at 2nd and Dunn as of 12:30 this afternoon.
Waterspurting up beside the sidewalk on the east side of the Downtown Fire Station at 4th St ad Lincoln.
