Invasive plants are so thick that they are blocking the sidewalk. It is not clear where the property line is, so perhaps the owner of the property just north is formally responsible, but one would think that both owners could see there is a problem and work together to fix it.
Sidewalk in front of 611 N Washington is completely blocked by vegetation.
Sidewalk located directly across the street from Golden Living Center (155 E Burks Dr, 47401) is blocked by an overgrown tree that needs to be trimmed. Pedestrians, including my 89-year old father, are forced to walk in a very busy street because of the foliage blocking the sidewalk.
Truck has been parked on sidewalk all day, I've now walked out into the road four times today to get around it. Good thing I'm able-bodied but I hope they're not inconveniencing others who aren't. Plates TK624MKZ
Tree limb down across two lanes of traffic on Walnut St between 9th and 10th St.
The sidewalk crossing the driveway at 1925 N Kinser Pike has been reduced to gravel. This prevents me from using it when in my power wheelchair. This break means I must use another route into town. The only alternative is the pedestrian path toward Arlington School off of Skyline and then returning to Kinser via Parrish. There are problems with this route reported elsewhere
The pedestrian footpath between Skyline Dr. and the circle drive at Arlington School has a very rough transition at the Skyline end. It is also noticeably overgrown limiting my already low vision and ability to avoid any oncoming traffic. Currently this is the only route into town for me in my power wheelchair
The pedestrian crossing at the intersection of W. Gourley Pike & Kinser Pike is unmarked and thus invisible for oblivious passing motorists leading to a number of scary crossings for me. The speed limit is posted 30 mph but Northbound traffic often streams downhill from 17th at speeds more like 40 mph. Despite the danger crossing in my power wheelchair with velocitized drivers streaming in from SR 46 on the other side as well, it is the safest alternative with more severe problems on the Arlington bridge/Colonial Crest route reported separately.
Vegetation from this location has grown to the point where the sidewalk is inaccessible for a good portion of the stretch between Menards & Liberty Lube.
