This “historic fieldstone sidewalk” is a TOTAL DISASTER to actually walk on. My teenage son walks, but has limited mobility and requires support to stay upright. This sidewalk was completely unsafe for him to use. We had to cross mid-block on Dunn (also not very safe) to a usable sidewalk on the west side of the street. This may be “historic” but it is NOT ADA compliant. Please make this sidewalk safe for all to use.
The sidewalk that is next to the Mother Bear's parking lot on the west side of Swain has a piece of rust sticking out of the pavement. That is where a Do Not Parking sign used to be. Very dangerous for unsuspecting pedestrians.
Several cracked and upheaved squares if sidewalk, north side of 700 University Street, east of S. Fess.
Sidewalk pushed up. Pedestrian hazard.
Sidewalk pushed up. Pedestrian hazard. Address is E. First St. 1126 +/-
Broken sidewalk, S. Stull between 1st and Maxwell. 813 or 815.
drainage pipe from eaves is partially extending into sidewalk and constitutes a trip hazard especially at night; this area has heavy pedestrian traffic
Dead tree on city land near sidewalk. (Also other dead trees along the street that were planted in the same batch about 2 years ago)
Large bush growing in the chain link fence between sidewalk and Carlisle property is blocking the sight line for drivers stopped at the Weatherstone stop sign for turn onto Woodlawn, cannot see oncoming traffic as it comes over the hill between Grimes and Weatherstone. Please see if that bush could be cut back or removed.
Here in Winslow Farm it appears that almost none of our sidewalks intersect with the road in an ADA compliant manner. My Wife was transitioning from this sidewalk end to the street (East Winslow Farm Drive)and her mobility scooter tipped over dumping her in the road. She sustained three serious wounds which required a trip to the emergency room, where we spent fives hours. I don't know if this is a city issue, Winslow Farm issue, or combination of the two. She is not the only mobility challenged resident here and I would hate to see someone else seriously injured.
