Bus stops are NOT lime scooter parking areas!!!

Bus stops are NOT lime scooter parking areas!!!

I go to 5th and Marion to catch the bus to work as well as to go and pick up my partner from work. The past few times I’ve been here this week the entire bus stop waiting area has been FULL of lime scooters to the point where there’s barely a waiting area for pedestrians and I have had buses drive by me multiple times due to it because they don’t see me waiting by the bus stop pole (because I can’t without either moving a scooter or waiting behind it). I was almost late to work Tuesday because of this and had to resort to waving down a bus so they could see I was waiting for it.

Is there any way to report this to whoever manages where Lime scooters and bikes are parked?? Is it SDOT or another company outsourced to take care of it?? Maybe I’m being a Karen or whatever but it’s just annoying and inconvenient! Especially when there’s a whole Lime parking area on this block and directly across the street both ways!!! Not to mention the accessibility issues that arise from this considering it doesn’t give the bus a convenient place to deploy the ramp without it going on an incline (where the trees are planted) or having to stop way far away from the bus stop itself.

Time stamps because the first time I thought maybe it was just an annoying accident but the second time it feels like someone thinks the empty space here means it’s free real estate for scooters and bikes.
