Section of sidewalk has risen 4-5 inches causing a hazard to the neigborhood kid on their bikes- they hit it and it causes an accident. I have seen other spots where the high side has been shaved off to be level? Very easy to spot, between my house 3824 and the neighbors, 3820.
I am writing this about the sidewalk area in front of the White House Flower Shop located off of E Winslow Rd. I am a mother with a toddler child and no vehicle so it is necessary for me to use the sidewalks as my child rides in a stroller. I live in Winslow Ridge Townhomes and have to walk to or from there to Henderson St to be able to catch Bloomington Transit. There has been several instances lately that traveling on the sidewalk is nearly impossible with all the snow on the sidewalk. I can appreciate that Henderson Court Apt and Winslow Ridge Townhomes have been able to keep the remaining snow to a minimum, but outside of the White House Flower Shop is always a mess. This morning as I left my home with my child I was forced to pull my stroller backwards through the snow because pushing it led nowhere. On my return home at around 5p.m., after picking up some groceries, I was not able to get through the snow which forced me to have to walk in the street with my toddler in his stroller.
Sidewalk between 3506 and 3508 is broken due to heavy city trucks using easement.
The Northside of the street - sidewalk on Moores Pike, East of S. Fenbrook LN has alot of brush and trees grown up making the already narrow and close to the street walkway very dangerous with the amount and speed of traffic. Could the city either clean up the walkway or have the property owner responsible open this area up to increase pedestrian safety.
Here are a few pictures of the curb cut issue on Clarizz by the entrance to Bloomingfoods. You can see that there are no ramps on either side of the turn-in to Bloomingfoods from Clarizz. Therefore, anyone wanting to walk to Bloomingfoods using a wheelchair would not have easy access. What you have to do is use the sidewalk across the street (which does have a curb cut) and then cross Clarizz to enter the Bloomingfoods parking area. The problem with this is that the traffic is very heavy on Clarizz, particularly so close to the intersection with 3rd St and this makes crossing, particularly for someone in a wheelchair, perilous. I'm requesting that the City add curb cuts to the sidewalk on Clarizz by Bloomingfoods to fix this problem. A less ideal fix would be to add a crosswalk to the other side of the street, but I really don't see this as a great solution.
Some landscaping work was recently done at this property, and the dump truck that delivered the rocks cracked the sidewalk, leaving it uneven.
This sidewalk is uneven and cracked and makes it impossible to wheel anything on the pavement. The ground is covered in dirt and leaves which makes passage in the rain hazardous. It also floods in the rain.
sinkhole developing over street train, also sidewalk material deteriorating, coming apart in several places
My neighbors at 2802 S Forrester, when they re-landscaped their property 10 or so years ago, arranged to have the flow of water from their downspouts released onto the sidewalk at the shared edge of our two lots, which causes a tremendous flow of water onto the sidewalk in front of my property. This deposits debris on my property and creates treacherous conditions in the fall when rain occurs when temperatures are near freezing. This has been an irritant to me since the re-landscaping was complete but only recently did I read section 12.04.020 of the municipal code which would seem to prohibit such a discharge of water. Could you send someone to investigate this situation? The water comes out of two green pipes where our two properties abut the sidewalk on Robins Bow. This week the problem is particularly clear because of all the rain.
Follow up on uReport Case #158991: In spring of 2017 I filed a report with the city about the downspout drainage from my neighbor's property (2802 S Forrester), which dispenses rainwater directly onto the sidewalk in front of my house. They were issued a notice by the city, and they cut back the relevant downspout as indicated in the resolution of the ticket. However, thereafter they built a masonry channel from the end of the downspout that continues to direct the rainwater from the downspout onto the sidewalk in front of my property. When it rains moderately or heavily, the sidewalk on my property turns into a river, still, and in the seasonal transition to and from winter, the sidewalk winds up coated with ice. They masonry channel is topped with a plywood cover that is disguised with landscape rocks. I wanted to talk with them about this directly rather than file a report, but for 3 weeks I have not seen them at their house. Their house is reportedly under contract for sale, and I think it only fair that this issue be resolved (ideally by extending the drainage under the sidewalk to the curb so it no longer causes a negative impact on my property) before they sell it, so that new owners do not have to correct something they are not responsible for. Thank you.
