On Walnut Street the sidewalk near the railroad is covered in glass pieces, which is a hazard for people and animals making the sidewalk inaccessible for dog walking. There is also often glass in the grass between the sidewalk and the road, which again is a hazard for animals.

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.

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.

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.

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

This pothole makes navigating this busy sidewalk hazardous. Wheelchairs or strollers can get stuck; pedestrians with mobility issues can easily trip and fall.

I noticed today that the sidewalk by the parking lot of the Bloomington Police station on Lincoln street one end of the sidewalk before crossing the parking lot does not have an accessible sidewalk - it has a curb. Will his be resurfaced to be wheelchair accessible soon?
