Could I please get an update to repair of this curb/street issue reported earlier this year? Very hard to navigate in wheelchair

Would appreciate an update on the repair of this section of sidewalk and road crossing. Inaccessible for wheelchairs to the point that I need to ride on the road in my wheelchair to avoid the sidewalk crossing.
Many tree roots in this area, raising the bike path like speed bumps. Noticed they are growing and are becoming quite a nuisance for wheelchair especially. They are also quite hard to see in certain lighting conditions. There is also another large raised root across from Rev Butler Park path entrance off bike path.
Pervasive issue with uneven brick/cement/asphalt at the stylized curbs on the bike path. Asphalt is uneven with the angled cement curb pieces, which are uneven with the bricks. Missing bricks at other locations. These uneven angled triangle cement parts have damaged parts of my wheelchair several times. I am making the report at the Rogers St coordinates, but the issue extends across most road crossings between North Adams all the way to Kroger. North Adams, Fairview, and Rogers are by far the worst ones, but most need addressed. If you want me to take pictures and send individual reports for every crossing on the bike path, I can do that.
Previous ticket was marked as completed, but I see no improvement to the encroachment of grass and debris onto the sidewalk, making it too narrow for wheelchair

Thank you for grinding down the curb entrances to these sidewalks. Unfortunately they are still not accessible, the north side curb is still too uneven between the street and the sidewalk. The south side curb/sidewalk is angled in a sketchy way that sends the momentum of the wheelchair straight into the main road and it's hard to correct and stay out of the road.
Turning right from 17th St onto Madison St is a nightmare. You're either going to hit the car that's in the lefthand turn lane on Madison St, or you're running over the decently large curb. The only cars that can safely navigate this are small cars. If you're a truck, SUV, or, God forbid, a city bus, you're in trouble. Cars don't turn at 90 degree angles. The radius of that curb is entirely too small.
The traffic light pole here takes up half the sidewalk, leaving very little room for pedestrians to get around. Probably impossible for someone with a mobility aid to pass (e.g. wheelchair, walker). Seems like a major ADA issue. Even as someone with fine mobility, I barely had room to get by while staying on the sidewalk.
Sidewalk along Landmark has no curb ramp on one end for wheelchairs and power chairs to get on and off. And on the other end which was just redone really has no curb ramp either. You might be able to drive an RC car on it that how narrow the flat spot is. You cant drive a chair up on it because its not flat. People in wheelchairs and Powerchairs are avoiding this and going the wrong way down the street towards 3rd in a blind curve. Its only a matter of time before a car rounds that blind curve to find a wheel chair user in the lane also heading towards them. We just had a girl stuck out there today trying to get on the sidewalk but couldn't. Somebody is gonna get hit. Please let us know how we can help you help this matter. Best Wishes, Kevin.
