Growth of trees next to sidewalk has created numerous breaks in sidewalk alignment rendering it unsuitable from Kinser to Arlington School. I trimmed growth near Kinser end blocks sidewalk.
Sidewalk is too steep and irregular for safe power chair operation. I have to use the motorway exposing me to 40mph traffic turning off of College.
Need curb cut at alleyway and realignment of sidewalk grade. This forces me onto the College Ave traffic way.
Old sidewalk is very rough and broken between new repair and new sidewalk connecting 10th & 11th on the West side of College.
Sidewalk S. of Parrish Rd. along N. Kinser pike has been heaved up and down by the nearby large tree. Very rough going in my power wheelchair.
Photo looking N. from The Station 11 bldg. at 701 N College. This section of sidewalk, past Scholar's Inn and through the R.R. Underpass where it joins the new Railroad apartments sidewalk is practically unusable. This forces me into the bikeway through the underpass inches from speeding motorists. This is pretty scary in my hard-to-steer-straight power wheelchair.
There is a curb cut on Hunter Ave, it seems have serviced a vacated alley, right behind 502. S. Hawthorne. The house owners have fence the area, so perhaps they believe they own it, but GIS sees it as an alley. I was walking down west on Hunter after dark on Sunday evening, and the shrubbery shadows the street lights. Even though I have been a neighborhood resident for 2 decades, I forgot that I had to step down when on the sidewalk, and I stumbled a bit, caught myself, but then hit the curb on the other side, and fell on the sidewalk, thus abrading my right elbow and knee. I see no reason for the curb cut, and am requesting that it be filled in. We have numerous people out at night walking dogs, taking the night air, and I can imagine a more serious accident here, especially if one is elderly (at 67, I fell pretty fit.) I do feel stupid that I was not paying attention to a hazard I have been aware of for years, but there it is. Here are the views, I could not get the upload to work (neither did the Choose Location link, but I am on a Mac using Chrome, and if your system is Windows based, therein may be the problem https://www.dropbox.com/s/qp74i2ruo2kvewh/2015-02-08%2010.04.23.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/qp74i2ruo2kvewh/2015-02-08%2010.04.23.jpg?dl=0
i am 60 yrs old. spent hours shoveling my walks and driveway so I could get out of my house today. City piled up three feet of snow balls in front of my driveway and I can't shovel it again. 815 N Blair Ave. Any chance someone can come and move them?
With the snow that we had, the city plow trucks plowed in front of our house. While they plowed, they damaged a wooden retainer wall that was in front of our house. I have included images of the damage done. A lot of the wood pieces were strewn in our front yard, and I collected them and placed them in front of our retaining wall by the street. This is the first time so much damage has been done. We have lived in our house 3 years, and even despite the massive snow amounts we had last winter...the snow plows never damaged our property like they did this year. I have included pictures of the damage done.
