Follow-up to ureport 203738, which was closed today wirh notation that problematic bird e bike had been removed. In fact it has not been moved since yesterday: it’s still there blocking sidewalk
I was told by Rhonda at Bloomington housing authority that the construction project taking place in our courtyard on Lindbergh will be a covered structure for bicycle parking. My concern is if motorized vehicles like scooters and motorcycles park there, the c shape created by the three tall apartment buildings surrounding the courtyard already create an amphitheater that echoes every sound. The noise from bikes that people built themselves around here are loud enough, but if they're revving them up in our courtyard and if there's an awning, and we're in this low level across the street from a hill, please consider how loud this will be in our apartments where there's gaps around our front door. I work full-time and need my sleep at night and to rest on the weekends. There are small children living here who need to be in bed at night. Please consider including signs that there will be no motorcycles or motor scooters parking here. I think bicycle parking is wonderful and I am enthusiastic about having bicycle parking.
Bird scooter blocking sidewalk on Lincoln at Allen Street crosswalk
12:05 pm 9/14/2025 A scooter was left on the sidewalk on northeast corner of Washington and sixth blocking the curb cut for both 6th and Washington.
Scooter entirely blocking the sidewalk. There’s got to be a way to penalize either of the company or the user. There’s no accountability and that’s a problem.
Witnessed a biker cut off a vehicle while turning off a side road when the car had the ROW. I have seen this happen more and more increasingly and biker education from the City on traffic regulations and requirements seems to not be a priority or being shared. They cannot be both a pedestrian and a vehicle and follow no traffic laws at all. This needs to be worked on.
rideshare bike blocking sidewalk in front of 306 w 14th st. please let me know if a fine is assessed for improper parking thanks!
City webpages: Your U-Report lists Bird, Lime and VeoRide scooters - "click here for problems, etc." - isn't Bird the only scooter company still licensed? Also, when you look for other scooter info, it shows a YouTube video with a Veo scooter and lists all three companies - Web pages need updated!
On east side of b line between Kirkwood and 6th Street. Chicken waddle hangs down into head space about 4 ft from edge of path. This is a relatively congested part of the b line and it is often necessary to detour off the path here to get around a stationary group. i have had close calls with this chicken waddle, and other people have actually hit it with their heads while biking. Now that dave williams is gone could we get a little consideration for safety?
mural facing People's park was damaged. I own the Bicycle Garage business and building.
