What can I do about scooters littering my Prospect Hill neighborhood? Is there a number to call to report and have them picked up? I walk daily for exercise and have stopped going downtown because scooters are blocking sidewalks, now the are blocking sidewalks in a residential neighborhood where I own a home and pay taxes Help!
Three scooters at the curb on 6th Street across from Poplars Garage. Tuesday 8:10 am. Could be the car parked after the Limes were staged. Could be there was no passenger whom the scooters would have blocked from getting out. But scooters curbside always potentially block passengers from getting out.
There are 12 scooters in the library courtyard around the bear statues. Please have these removed. We don’t want them here.
Today’s New York Times morning email newsletter from Leonard articulates well the horrific dangerous scooters pose to pedestrians. Please read it and pass it on to the council and the mayor.
I saw these scooters blocking access to an ADA automibile at Kirkwood and Dunn on Saturday.
Saturday afternoon, 3:40 PM. On Walnut across from Ace Pawn. Not in the way, really, but not parked properly either.
Bird in the middle of Grant Street sidewalk between Kirkwood and 4th a little before 1 PM today (12-3-18)
Grant at Kirkwood. 11-17-18 early afternoon 3 or 4 Bird scooters taking up enough of the sidewalk that a couple can not walk side by side.
Hello, I would like to draw your attention to an issue with item 6 of the e-scooter guidelines on the city website; "6. Park the scooter in a bike rack or in another lawful spot on public property that does not block the right-of-way, limit access for individuals with disabilities, risk damaging private or public property, or jeopardize public safety." E-scooters should not be parked “in a bike rack” as they do not require locking and have their own kick-stand support. When e-scooters are parked inside of bike racks they are blocking access to a vital space for cyclists. Parking e-scooters in bike racks causes the same inconvenience to cyclists as parking e-scooters in the middle of a sidewalk causes to pedestrians. Failing to notice this basic issue feels like the city of Bloomington has forgotten or decided to ignore the needs of cyclists. I ask that the wording in the e-scooter guidelines be changed to ensure that bike racks are reserved for bikes and other vehicles that require locking, and proper notice be given to e-scooter users about this change. Thank you.
