This is on E Second near the footbridge close to Anita.
These scooters were not left by the users. They were out there bright and early on Dec. 5. Totally blocking the sidewalk. A disgrace. Show this to Mr. BIRD!

Bird Scooters parked on the corner of Eastside and Mxwell.
If there would be a person in a wheelchair trying to get onto the sidewalk at that corner, they would have trouble. Shame on you BIRD. The way they are placed I cannot believe they were left like that by the users.

Sidewalk Requests

- 12/6/2018
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.

First - thank you for how responsive the department has been to our observations about Park Ridge Park. We really appreciate it!
Park Ridge has a density of plants in and around it and is a relatively small park. As such, the amount of debris that can accumulate on the park compared to its size is quite high. We have witnessed that this debris tends to remain over the winter and well into spring if it isn't removed. We have seen that this eventually causes problems as the debris prevents grass from overwintering well and regrowing in the spring. This leads to bare spots (especially since the park is pretty all sloped except for the build in structures) leading to erosion. The Parks Department has worked diligently to mitigate these erosion issues through sowing grass seed, putting down straw mats, etc. This has been effective at at least stopping the erosion. However, I wonder if these mitigation efforts will have to be repeated next spring given the amount of debris in park. I suggest removing the debris now to hopefully prevent future problems and accompanying efforts to fix those problems. Please let us know what you think and thanks again for your responsiveness and hard work at making Park Ridge and Bloomington a great place to live and work.
Cheers,
John
