On High Street this morning, near the intersection with Atwater. A handicapped person in a motorized scooter could not pass by. Shame on the person who placed the scooters like this.
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.
701 S Highland--there are 8 scooters here today; none have been taken. They are taking up parking spaces in the street and are an eyesore. If I cannot park my car in front of my own house without buying a permit, are these really allowed to do so? I would like them taken out of the neighborhood--they've been festering for the last week or so, and we are not a scooter-riding neighborhood.
there is a scooter lying in the road on 2nd street just west of High
Testing: Lime scooter in stree at 5th/walnut
Your "include a photo" does not seem to be working. Email me if you want it. Bird scooters parked(probably by charger) blocking only narrow sidewalk on Second Street just east of High St. Road is very narrow. One fell into street and almost caused a swerving car to hit my car. I tried to go back and move the scooter but someone had already run over it.
Scooter report- in ditch at Griffy causeway
Abandoned and apparently broken scooter lying on the sidewalk on the east side of Grant between Cottage Grove and 11th.
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.
Berniece Snyder in the Fire Department came to me on 4/1 to report a scooter in a tree. It was off Lincoln Street between 6th & 7th street.
