Biking & Walking

1016 S Highland AVE

Case Date:
4/26/2022

I had an unpleasant near miss biking the small connector trail that Weatherstone down to Highland Ave. At the bottom of the hill, a scooter was on its side, in the middle of the pathway. It was not visible until almost right on top of it, and I came close to wiping out. The city needs to find a solution to scooters that are abandoned haphazardly on sidewalks and bike trails. This is not the first incident I've had, and certainly won't be the last. Eventually someone will get seriously hurt.

City Performance

1510 E Hillside DR

Case Date:
4/20/2021

I biked downtown this afternoon for a trip to the public library. Upon arrival I discovered that every space in the bike racks surrounding the library were taken by Veo scooters. Attempting to move a scooter to park my bike was extremely difficult, as the scooter wheels immediately locked up, and scooters are simply to heavy to lift and move. Allowing a private scooter company to completely monopolize all available bike parking around the public library is not acceptable. Why is this allowed? Could the rules around scooters in the city be reviewed and this specific issue addressed? To clarify, I don't believe users had parked the scooters here. It seems as if they were deployed and staged in these spots. Thank you.

City Performance

1002 E Southdowns DR

Case Date:
5/16/2022

Grass clippings! Hazard! The southbound lane of Woodlawn along Bryan Park has grass clippings all over the right 1/3 or 1/4 of it. The park got mowed and a city employee left grass in the road. This is a danger to all the cyclists, motorcyclists, and scooter riders. Can we get that mower operator a leaf blower? This happens routinely around the park and on Sheridan and Southdowns in the multi use paths. Very careless and dangerous for the city to leave debris in the road.

Potholes, Other Street Repair

808 S Woodlawn AVE

Case Date:
2/28/2024

Corner of Wylie and South Woodlawn. Pavement has dropped (2 inches?) In the northbound lane of Woodlawn. It's impossible to miss like a pothole because the dropped pavement has formed a hard ledge you jolt over. This would likely throw an e-scooter rider forward over their handlebars. Gives me a serious jolt in the car so very dangerous. It has been previously patched but is continuing to drop quickly. May need to check for collapsed infrastructure under the road. I will take a picture if requested.
