What is the deal with these electric scooters everywhere?? I realize they are fun and also help students (or, mostly students I have seen) get around, but they are literally LITTERING the streets. In one block on my walk to work, there were five scooters parked. I rode my bike to work this afternoon and there were five scooters parked in front of the Indiana Ave. Starbucks, and I had to move two of them to use the bike rack because they were completely blocking the rack. I have seen them abandoned everywhere, including on the trail around Bryan Park. Is the business to put them out going around to collect them at any point? If so, how often are they collecting them? Does the city have rules on these things? Are we supposed to share sidewalks with electric scooters? I am all for alternative transportation, and love the PACE bike program, but these scooters seem to be out of control.

Blocked Street

This morning at approximately 8:05AM on October 18, 2018 a guy driving a delivery truck bed full of materials decides to stop at 10th and Rogers with no indication and causes a full stop for myself and a city block full of cars stuck. Rogers is a one way street at this point and because of the height of the truck, we cannot see if traffic is coming down the other way to pass around the truck. After sitting in my car for over 5 minutes and watching the truck driver run out to the construction site with no indication of when he's coming back, I rolled down my window to ask a nearby construction driver if someone can come direct traffic. I realize that's not his job but he didn't even dignify my question with a response. This is frustrating because despite all the delayed construction projects at the city, county and state level, the City has usually been pretty good about these types of things. If this is going to happen again, someone needs to be directing one way traffic flow. Also, I thought this 10th street corridor between Rogers and Morton was also supposed to be open by October 15th but now I see the information is gone from the city website.

Fraudulent business practices continuing to occur at Speedy Wrecker Services LLC, 3170 S. Walnut St., Bloominton, IN 47401. This business specializes in non consensual and predatory towing. Once the car is impounded, they only offer odd hours for pick up, demand cash only payments, and do not collect taxes. The price per tow is over twice the normal rate in town. My son was charged $240.00. He settled via small claims mediation. Two friends since that case have been charged $180.00 each for a tow that should cost $90.00. The Bloomington Police have been contacted on each incident but that doesnt seem to be enough for Speedy Wrecker Service to change their predatory business practices. Is this the type of business Bloomington wants to be known for? This company is a disgrace! I would like to see the Bloomington Parking Commission create some regulatory actions against predatory towing.

Juanita‘s restaurant has recently installed two of these LED security lights illuminating their parking lots. They produce at least 20,000 lm each. I live a block away, And I can literally read a newspaper from the light that comes through my window. I believe the luminosity of these lights is in violation of city code for lumens per acre.

Follow up on #167661: I got this email "Sean Starowitz contacted Sean Starowitz I received your Ureport. Yes, we are waiting on the weather to warm up to finish the Traffic Boxes. This tends to be a learning curve for new artists and some were not able to get started (or did) before the weather turned. We have a few finished - 2nd and College and Kirkwood and Adams. The other four are in the works. " The box at 2nd and College is the one I asked about. It is NOT finished. One wide sign is painted; there is another wide side side and the two narrow sides left to prime and paint. All previous boxes have all 4 sides (and maybe the top) painted. This new box is bigger, but that's no reason to scale down. Thanks.
