Unsafe walking conditions on sidewalk due to lack of snow and ice removal
Unsafe walking conditions on sidewalk due to lack of snow and ice removal
Good afternoon, I am writing to report an issue with water drainage coming from the roofs of houses and dumping on to the sidewalk. Along N. Indiana Ave, many houses/apartments (owned by Elkins Apartments) have drainage downspouts that empty directly on to the sidewalk. This creates a hazard with constant freeze and thew during the winter months. I have personally felt unsafe walking down a sloped sidewalk, on what is pure ice during periods this winter. Indiana Ave. is a very high foot traffic area during winter months as fans walk to and from basketball games. From witnessing several people slip and fall on the ice, I feel like it is my duty as a citizen to report this issue to the city. Though we have been blessed this season with relatively mild temperatures, this does not overshadow the safety hazard created from the downspouts off many of these houses. This problem would ideally need to be handled quickly before the next cold spell of weather. Thank you. Best regards
Downspout(s) that wash directly onto the sidewalk.

Hi, Fourth Street between Jefferson and Roosevelt is a blacktop path, and there's honeysuckle and other shrubs growing well into the path near Jefferson. Poison ivy is also growing in several patches on either side of the path for about half a block from Jefferson toward Roosevelt. Could you please see what can be done about this? Thanks!
VERY disappointed in the new sidewalk curbs at 4th and Indiana. The curbs are to high for handicap individuals trying to correct they have made a mess of the new sidewalk areas. One sidewalk has been chipped significantly trying to correct. Very poor job.
There is no paved sidewalk; it's just a bunch of horribly laid slabs of stone. How was this even allowed, especially in downtown?! This is not wheelchair accessible, and is dangerous to all others. Please put in a paved sidewalk here so wheelchaired people don't have to turn around and cross the street just to get by.

Mr. Ogle is very concerned about an improperly placed sidewalk at this location -- says it's a hazard.
Walking home Thursday night, I turned my ankle in this hole. In the dark, it's invisible. This whole block is in bad shape (west side of road).
