I just went back to correct something in my text using the in-app back button and now all of the text is gone.... There is a pile of broken glass on the sidewalk on the north side of 3rd street between College and the B-line, the sidewalk that has an incline and black fencing. The glass is about half way between College and the B-Line. It has been there for quite a while
At the South West corner of Indiana and Kirkwood-across from IU Sample Gates, and in front of IU memorabilia store, the handicap pedestrian ramp is completely deteriorated at the juncture with the road. My wife and I saw a man in a wheelchair nearly tip over, and fail repeatedly in trying to descend from sidewalk to cross street to campus. Two passerby's finally aided in his journey. It is very dangerous and unaccessible for handicapped folks.
Northeast corner of Third and Washington Streets. The sidewalk is raised above a 1/2" (ADA says less) making it hard for a manual wheelchair to get over it. Must go around the block or out into the street. Can it be smoothed down or asphalt added to make it beveled?

There is a big piece of steel rebar sticking out of the sidewalk near the eastern entrance to 2427 E 2nd Street. It's become a safety issue for cars and pedestrian as many kids walk through there to get to the elementary school. Unsure if since it's an IU office if it's IU property? Thank you for investigating and potentially resolving.
1, upper left) Lincoln St., between 2nd and 3rd, entrance into police station parking lot, northwest corner, no ramp onto sidewalk, more than a two inch dropoff making it impossible to get a wheelchair onto it at all, even a power chair.

Sidewalk hazard: Missing bricks, 300 E Kirkwood (2:50 pm, 3/4/2019)
This section of sidewalk close to 3016 E. Daniel St. in Kensington has been lifted by several inches likely due to a tree root below. Recently witnessed an individual in a wheelchair who had been at Schmalz Park almost tip over as she attempted to roll across it. It is very unsafe and will most certainly cause someone to have an accident if not addressed. It is hard to tell from the photo how bad this section truly is, must be seen in person.
Sidewalk in front of house has degraded to a point that it is dangerous if someone used a scooter in the dark along this stretch, or even walking. Next time the owner applies to renew the rental permit, please stipulate that the current sidewalk be taken up and a fresh one poured to match the rest of that block and remove the current hazard.
