Transportation Commission now meeting

Some administrative stuff - Barbara McKinney has resigned already - then going over 180-day orders that the city engineer has made. Apparently only one camera running; the engineer is talking but we can only see the commission.

I think you should be able to agree with motions not only with "Aye" or "Yes" but also, "Yer rootin' tootin'!"

Some confusion in how these 180-day orders become permanent, or cancelled.

@bloomington_in The speeding person was concerned that Engineering wasn't enough, wants more Enforcement. (No word on Education, the third E.)

Finally, a former member of the traffic commission hopes the commission will be involved more than the old commission was.

Now a report on the Bird scooter license. Three vendors last year but only Bird is re-upping.

Wish we could see the speakers!

@bloomington_in Somebody wants them to geofence them off the sidewalks. Yeah, GPS isn't precise enough for that.

City is wanting to license a single vendor but that's not ready to go yet.

"We've had some issues with safety with the scooters." Not nearly as many as we've had with cars! 🤨

Now back to admin stuff. There are a couple of proposed stop signs at the very end of the meeting but I'm not sure I'll be able to hold out until then!
