Turning right from 17th St onto Madison St is a nightmare. You're either going to hit the car that's in the lefthand turn lane on Madison St, or you're running over the decently large curb. The only cars that can safely navigate this are small cars. If you're a truck, SUV, or, God forbid, a city bus, you're in trouble. Cars don't turn at 90 degree angles. The radius of that curb is entirely too small.
The traffic light pole here takes up half the sidewalk, leaving very little room for pedestrians to get around. Probably impossible for someone with a mobility aid to pass (e.g. wheelchair, walker). Seems like a major ADA issue. Even as someone with fine mobility, I barely had room to get by while staying on the sidewalk.
Sidewalk along Landmark has no curb ramp on one end for wheelchairs and power chairs to get on and off. And on the other end which was just redone really has no curb ramp either. You might be able to drive an RC car on it that how narrow the flat spot is. You cant drive a chair up on it because its not flat. People in wheelchairs and Powerchairs are avoiding this and going the wrong way down the street towards 3rd in a blind curve. Its only a matter of time before a car rounds that blind curve to find a wheel chair user in the lane also heading towards them. We just had a girl stuck out there today trying to get on the sidewalk but couldn't. Somebody is gonna get hit. Please let us know how we can help you help this matter. Best Wishes, Kevin.

This curb and drain is improperly placed. In order to turn right out of Bittner Woods, you have to drive into the other lane of traffic (headed to the Sare rd load) to avoid running into the land. You’ll see how dug out it is that many people try to avoid driving into the other lane of traffic but then bottom out. This past Wednesday morning I also saw the Bloomington Trash truck exiting in the neighborhood in the entrance lane, I assume to avoid the same issue. We would appreciate if the curb and drain could be reworked to allow a safer exit from the neighborhood. Thank you!
Query the status of U-report case # 202258, re the ugly orange barriers, which can only be removed after Duke has made repairs.
You guys extended these sidewalk areas and planted grass which needs to be cut.
I run the shop at 208 N Walnut. I see 90% of people walk into oncoming traffic because they can’t see the pathway blocked by the water barrier.
Landscaping impinging on the walkway. See photo.
Large invasive weed impinging on walkway. Blocked walk is actually on 7th. Tried attaching photo.
Milestone contractors replaced sidewalk. All the turf/grass repair is washed out creating a safety issue for users
