Northwest corner of 4th and Washington. 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?
1 upper left) This accessible space is not. To use it, you must get out of your vehicle into the street and go down the street to the left to get onto the sidewalk (see 2, upper right) and back to the meter. 3 lower left) The meter is next to a raised portion of the sidewalk which a manual chair could not traverse either way, north or south. 4 lower right) The obvious solution to this is to swap the accessible space with the one just south of it that has a ramp built into the median between the street and sidewalk. A van parking there could get their life directly onto the ramp. The other issue, of course, would be to fix the raised sidewalk so the person could then go north from there, as opposed to going around the block.
On Fees Lane between 10th and 9th street on the west side, the sidewalk has a wooden repair. The concert stops and this is a section of the sidewalk that is made out of wood. It is not a wide as the sidewalk. This morning (2/7), in the rain, I stepped onto that piece of wooden bridge and slipped. I did not fall, but I came really close and now I'm feeling it in my back and legs. Clearly someone knew there was an issue, but, the time to fix the sidewalk correctly was not done. If I develop any issues because of your departments failure to maintain the sidewalk, or your failure to enforce sidewalk repairs, I will be sending the City a bill.
The sidewalk at 1107 S. Fairview at the property's secondary entrance is always either flooded, slick mud, or covered with dirt and grass is now taking root across it. Until very dry periods one must walk out in the street to get around it. Likewise, the weed trees at the line between 1107 and the apartment complex to the north are overgrown to a point that the sidewalk is becoming increasingly impassible.
The residents at 1122 W. 6th Street have never taken their trash bin/recycling bin off their sidewalk or front lawn (just off the sidewalk) since the very start of when the bins were delivered. They frequently just leave it right in the middle of the sidewalk for days. According to the rules, they aren't supposed to be there all week.
Sidewalk 75% to 110% blocked by overgrowth. 113 and 117 East 15th Street and the corner of East 15th and North Washington. I walk my dog every day and have to go into the street to pass.
This is on 6th Street between Walnut and Washington Streets on the north side of the road on the northwest corner of the alleyway. 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?
This hole has been in the sidewalk for almost a year now. Located on the North sidewalk of E. 4th St. between S. Washington and S. Walnut.
The photograph of this hole was taken Sept. 27, 2019. The same hole can be found in case #161692 from Oct. 27, 2017. Danna Workman reported that the hole had been repaired, but I can assure you it was not. It is located between 1217 and 1221 N Madison (closer to 1217, and so large as to be observable from satellite photos and Google Street View). Even though I knew it was there, in the dark the other night, I nearly turned an ankle in it. The whole sidewalk along the west side of N. Madison between 16th and 17th is in a terrible state of disrepair and has been the entire time I've lived in this neighborhood. I know that landowners are supposed to maintain the sidewalks, but I also know that it's the city's duty to enforce that rule. What I don't know is why Danna Workman reported that the hole was repaired when it wasn't. In any event, the sidewalk is still a hazard. What are you going to do about it?
I recently saw a map of sidewalks that showed the westside of Madison between 16th and 17th was in "fair" condition (https://bloomington.in.gov/transportation/sidewalks/repair-assistance/map.pdf). This stretch of sidewalk is narrow and broken and one of the worst well-traveled pedestrian areas in town. The east side of the street, labeled poor on the map, isn't nearly as bad. At the very least, I'd like the map corrected so there is an accurate recored. But, what I'd really like done is that this block is fixed. It is heavily traversed and will likely see more traffic once the bus routes change. Thank you.
