I would like to ask the City of Bloomington to begin considering steps to put ordinances, rules, regulations on these Bird Scooters that have infiltrated our city. I have seen almost every person riding in violation of the safety rules the company urges. There have been two people on a scooter, all of them without helmets, and riding on sidewalks/all over campus. They are getting parked on campus bike racks, cluttering up side walks, and generally are unsafe and without any kind of ordinance in place, could only cause potential risk to both car drivers, pedestrians, cyclists etc. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-45596449 There are known deaths on these modes of transportation. Indianapolis enacted an ordinance after unsafe crashes had occurred. Bloomington needs to be aware of the risk and make stations for these scooters with agreements on proper use.

I live in Garden Hill trailer court and there is a scooter that has been in my sight for a week now. I live in 132, and looking west out my window, it is parked in front of an empty lot on the last road before Curry Pike. I know it's not supposed to be there. Hoping someone will come pick it up...

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.

In the middle of the intersection of 4th and College, there is a manhole cover. It is in the east bound lanes of 4th Street as they cross over College Avenue. On the south side of this manhole cover, there is a MASSIVE pot hole. If you are biking on 4th headed east, as so many people do, that pothole is just waiting to grab hold of your front tire, latch on to it, and spit you out head first over the handlebars, smacking into the pavement. Someone will go down. Just a matter of time. A scooter probably won't stand a chance either.

Large, rectangular, deep pothole--east 10th street--north side of the street across from Wells Library-pothole is next to the curb. Looks like it had been repaired a long time ago, but the filler has been removed in chunks. It's a mess & probably dangerous if someone on a bike or scooter tries to ride over it.

Hello! I'm writing to request repaving of Uppington Court in Sherwood Oaks. We've had a water main break several months back and now a layer of pavement is chipping off and causing debris where our children play. The condition of Uppington Court can be improved and made safe for our children to scooter and ride bikes by repaving. There is also a person who parks his trailer on the street over where the water main burst and is just filled in with rocks and no curb. It would be best if he could park his trailer and truck on his own property and so that this repair/repaving can be done. Thank you for considering this project! The children in the cul-de-sac (and parents!) would very much appreciate the repaving update.

The pavement breakup at the intersection of Winslow Farm Drive and So. Highland is really getting awful. I am almost unable to cross that area in my mobility scooter to access the sidewalk to Winslow Sports Complex. Also, a pothole has developed at the SOUTHERN intersection of Moss Creek Drive and Winslow Farm Drive. Several other intersections in Winslow Farm also could use maintenance.
