Report issues with BIRD scooters |
closed |
This Bird e-bike (unique vehicle asset code EEWA5) has now been left abandoned for almost 24 hours. As shown in the attached photograph, it is set squarely in the middle of the sidewalk and is actively blocking:
* The wheelchair-accessible curb ramp.
* Direct access to the community dumpster.
* The flow of pedestrian traffic.
This creates an immediate safety and accessibility hazard for the visually impaired, wheelchair users, neighbors with walkers, families with strollers, or parents holding toddlers' hands.
Because the uReport system limits users to only one image attachment, I have used this submission to show the clear, wide-angle proof of the physical obstruction. I have also submitted a separate report containing the macro close-up of the vehicle's QR code and serial number so that city enforcement has the exact tracking data needed to hold the vendor accountable.
As a resident utilizing the city's official portal, I expect the city to enforce its vendor compliance policies and ensure this public right-of-way is cleared immediately. Please forgive any redundancy if this has already been flagged elsewhere; I was initially unaware that a separate, specific category existed in the system for micromobility complaints. Thank you. |

Blocked Sidewalk |
open |
Lyft/Bird e bike left in front of wheelchair ramp blocking sidewalk making it impossible for the visually impaired, wheelchairs, canes, walkers, baby trollies, families holding hands with toddlers, grocery carts, etc to access sidewalk. While, yes, carrying nothing I can step around, I am speaking up for neighbors who cannot, and because this isn't an instance of just one sidewalk being blocked, but constantly walking around town and seeing multiple blocked sideways because of these rental scooters and bikes. Often, the people hired to charge them like to leave them in auspicious places while ignoring the needs of disabled community members or those who need full access to ramps and sidewalks. These neighbors could fall trying to steer into the grass or mud. Not sure how a city like Bloomington is supposed to regulate something like this. Been an epidemic ever since they were introduced, and those delivery bots around campus also expect people to just go around. They just stop in the middle of the sidewalk delivering Chipotle or whatever flashing 8-bit heart-shaped eyes at you like, "Go around me!" Well, some friends and Bloomington neighbors literally can't. [end rant]
Thank you, HAND and city of Bloomington. Let's keep our town safe and civil. |
