scooters are blocking streets and sidewalks all over town
2007 E Second this morning at 11 am. 2 hours later one of the scooters had been blown over and was half in the street. Traffic had to stop to let oncoming cars pass, because the road is very narrow here. I complained about scooters parked like this in the same spot a week ago. Don't those BIRD people learn from their mistakes?! This sidewalk is used by kids walking to 3 schools. A parent walking hand in hand with a child cannot pass here.
Your "include a photo" does not seem to be working. Email me if you want it. Bird scooters parked(probably by charger) blocking only narrow sidewalk on Second Street just east of High St. Road is very narrow. One fell into street and almost caused a swerving car to hit my car. I tried to go back and move the scooter but someone had already run over it.
improper parking
I saw these scooters blocking access to an ADA automibile at Kirkwood and Dunn on Saturday.
This is Susan Sandberg and there has been a PACE bike left at the N. Fritz Drive cul-de-sac by the fire hydrant for several weeks. Our address is 2201 N. Fritz Drive, and the bike probably can't be seen from the Bypass as it is down the hill.
Scooters blocking a handicap parking space.
I parked my car downtown on Sixth Street today near the library, then realized I couldn’t open my door because scooters were parked too close. I moved to another space and starting walking to the library, when I saw a woman get out of her car and move scooters out of her reserved parking space in the lot at Sixth and Lincoln. The scooters are a nuisance, and they look junky. Whatever good they may bring to Bloomington is far outweighed by the numerous injuries and a downtown with scooters blocking sidewalks, entrances and parking spaces. They should have been banned shortly after these companies dropped hundreds of them on our sidewalks without even the courtesy of an advance warning.
To: Office of the Mayor These scooters (see image) are parked in spaces where my residents need to park for several days now. I already moved them closer to the street several times. This location does not have a walkway (307 19th Street), they should not be parked in private property. I called the police, but they have suggested to open a complaint in your office. Is there something that can be done about this? Thank you in advanced for your help. Almendra Minnaar Property Manager Distinct Management 812-339-0951
