Hi, It seems there maybe miscommunication within the chain of command or not a 100% buy-in to "best practice" or a little of both. Report #181846 described a problem and its location. Unfortunately the problem has not been addressed in any way. However, it does look as though some one came through with a leaf blower and cleared the cypress leaves that had covered the trail further up towards Southeast park, next to tennis court entrance and wood post. I do very much appreciate that as the the pavement is very bumpy there in the corner and can cause loss of control of bike or scooter as well as trip walkers. I don't have construction experience but have used a shovel in the yard and that is probably all it would take. Just a shovel and one person to remove some soil blocking the current grade from working properly. If that isn't the solution how about adding a thin layer of pavement so runoff goes the other direction. I believe this was done on Renwick trail, there are patches of pavement here and there. Thanks for your help with this.

The lack of shoulders on the roads is a serious problem in Bloomington. I have lived in a number of cities across the US and Bloomington is the first city I've seen that has very few (if any?) shoulders on the roads. This is unbelievably problematic - if someone has car trouble they can't pull off to the side, if you are dropping someone off you can't just pull off to the side, if I receive a phone call I can't pull over, if riding a bicycle you can't ride along the side.... there are a fair number (surely more than is acceptable) of bike and scooter accidents in Bloomington, and this can largely be attributed to lack of shoulders on roads.

Here in Winslow Farm it appears that almost none of our sidewalks intersect with the road in an ADA compliant manner. My Wife was transitioning from this sidewalk end to the street (East Winslow Farm Drive)and her mobility scooter tipped over dumping her in the road. She sustained three serious wounds which required a trip to the emergency room, where we spent fives hours. I don't know if this is a city issue, Winslow Farm issue, or combination of the two. She is not the only mobility challenged resident here and I would hate to see someone else seriously injured.

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.

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.
