Bird bicycle P3IKF abandoned on Dunn north of 12th Street close to RR fence.
This is on E Second near the footbridge close to Anita. These scooters were not left by the users. They were out there bright and early on Dec. 5. Totally blocking the sidewalk. A disgrace. Show this to Mr. BIRD!

Scooter partially blocking sidewalk. I tried to do this, including a picture, (it’s next to a no parking sign.), but the app doesn’t work.
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.
