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.

They fly across the street, at night, through the crosswalk, no lights, no warning, wearing black. This has happened in front of me three times in the last 6 weeks. I am an extremely safe driver--I actually go the speed limit. I stop feet before the stop line. I look both ways multiple times, even with a green light, yet I almost hit three of them. I hate them, they make the city look cheap. I am from Seattle and have seen how bad that city and the cities surrounding it about 30 miles have gone down in the last 6 years. Bloomington is well on its way to being like those cities, somewhere people will not want to send their kids to college. Scooters is just one more reason to avoid Bloomington. I have a teenage son, 9th grade, and are making college plans, but I don't really want him at IU due to the downtown problems with the homeless and panhandlers, etc.--it's not safe. We are looking at other colleges.

Bird scooter blocking sidewalk. These 2 have been there for 2 days now. We have a nearly blind lady in our neighborhood. Can you imagine what happens if she walks her dog and does not realize that these 2 monsters are in her path! 1807 E Second Drive

A few times I have noticed scooters riding on the square. Yelling to the riders they have to dismount and they ignore me. I think these signs are too high so riders don't notice them. I didn't realize they were there for a while. Why not lower them to eye level so they will be noticed.

There were not only these scooters, but 2 more in the middle of the Morton-Grimes lot next to these, plus 2 more to the side. There was a scooter in the middle of the B Line Monday morning. More scooters at the B Line and Allen intersection. I almost always see turned over scooters on the B Line going south from Allen, Bird and Lime. My suggestion is to have huge dumpsters so the riders can simply dump them, as I know often the companies do, a scooter landfill! What a shame!
