Blocked Sidewalk

Hello,
I am writing to make a complaint about the scooters that have appeared over the last few weeks from both Bird and Lime. This past Saturday, multiple scooters from both companies were simply abandoned in Bryan Park, some of which were blocking the sidewalks and paths through the park, some of which were leaning against trees and benches, all of which were eyesores in an otherwise lovely park. At one point in the afternoon, six or so Lime scooters were dropped off on the sidewalk by the Henderson St. lower parking lot by folks from Enterprise Rental, on the sidewalk, where people walk, run, etc.
In Bloomington, we are fortunate to have bike racks everywhere. Would it be possible to require that users and companies place the scooters at bike rack locations? By simply allowing them to be left wherever, users are leaving them around without regard to others.
This is also a bit of an issue with the Pace bikes. A few weeks ago, one was left leaning on the stop sign at Henderson and Davis, when there is a bike rack just a block away in the park.
Thank you for taking steps to regulate these companies in a manner that benefits everyone.

I found a street sign, together with the large metal pole, in my front yard today. Not sure how it got there ... but it appears to be a Bloomington street sign. Can you come collect it?

Water runoff is still an issue. I have reported this before and it is causing damage to my yard and basement. This area really needs a sidewalk or curb with storm drains.

The south-facing reflector sign in the traffic circle at 6th and Oak has been painted with the "Vain" tag that has appeared all over town. It has been there for a while now (a few weeks, perhaps).
Thanks!

The trees and brush along the east side of Walnut reduce visibility for drivers turning from Blue Ridge Drive onto Walnut. These were trimmed recently, but have become a problem again after all the rain.

Hi! This intersection has a new pedestrian button. I've noticed here and a few other places that if you don't push the button, no walk sign comes on. I find this inconvenient and confusing, and I'm curious why it's set up that way. I would love to know if there's something I'm not thinking of. If there isn't a good reason for this, though, please reset it so that the buttons can activate the light, but it's not necessary to press the button to get the walk sign. In other words, the default should stay the same as it used to be before the buttons - the walk sign always comes on when appropriate, but the button can activate the light to change when there are no cars to do so. Please let me know if this doesn't make sense, as it feels a little clunky to type it out. Thanks!
