This week, the City of Bloomington announced hour restrictions on scooters, citing a tragic scooter death caused by a suspected drunk driver and many other less serious injuries.
From 11 p.m. to 5 a.m., you will not be able to ride the scooters. The restriction will be in place through the winter months with the city planning to reevaluate their stance once it warms back up.Bloomington officials say there were presented with information from IU Health and the IU Student Health Center that led them to this decision. An IU spokesperson says there have been hundreds of scooter-related injuries since 2018.
"The possibility of a drunk driver or a crazy driver is probably more at night, so I think this is a good idea," Artikayara Yunidard, an IU Graduate student, said. "It's really hard to see if it's really late at night and you're driving past one of them," Clark said."I've been driving and I've seen scooters and it's right when I get up to them.""It takes a lot of convenience away. If I'm trying to get somewhere late at night, I'm not trying to walk," Eckel said.
