I took a little tumble on the sidewalk downtown on Kirkwood this morning coming back from the bank. It's just starting to hurt so I thought I'd notify you encase something turns up broken later. I'm not a big fan of those brick sidewalks, they're uneven and slick in the rain and snow.
Thd sidewalk at the corner of 3rd St and Swain is in very bad condition. MAC restaurant used to be at that corner but Mother Bear's is now in that spot. I asked Mother Bear's who would fix the sidewalk and they thought it was the responsibility of the city. The sidewalk has been in bad shape for a long time and is a hazard to those of us who use it regularly to walk to campus.
residential contractor building in Renwick on Hawksmoore has street blocked with dumpster and side walk is blocked with trash and 3 inches of mud . Cannot walk on sidewalk must walk in middle of the street , which is normally also covered with mud . No erosion control either .
A sidewalk is really needed on East Allen Street from South Walnut St. to South Henderson St. (Bryan Park). This is a highly travelled road by pedestrians and cyclists (though there is a "bike lane," which is not separated from the road itself). However, parking is allowed on both sides of the streets and I have personally nearly been run over by cars on more than 5 or 6 occasions, as I walk the street every day. Each and every single day, I notice children waiting for the bus, standing on the street exposed to traffic coming both directions. And what's more, this is a main thoroughfare for the entire neighborhood as it runs right up to the main West entrance to Bryan Park, which is the location of the main playgrounds. I see children walking down this street every day to access the playgrounds and it is undeniably an unsafe street given that cars are parked on both sides and traffic is traveling both ways. A sidewalk on at least one side of the street is really, really needed as this has become a serious public safety issue. Thank you.
Over a year ago, a sidewalk was supposed to go in along Fairview Street, between Patterson Drive and Wylie, in McDoel Gardens. This section is very dangerous for kids walking to the school bus stop, especially in the winter with icy roads. Snow piles force kids to walk directly in the road, sharing the road with cars in the dark. All signs appeared that the process was to begin shortly (flags were up, etc.) but after Justin Wykoff's arrest, the project appeared to have stalled. Can you send me an update on this situation? I am concerned for my kids as bad weather approaches and we are still without sidewalks.
the sidewalk in front of our apartment community is broken and unsafe! Someone is going to get hurt! (Note from staff: Area of concern is 3209 E. 10th Street,(Fountain Park Apartments).
On April 6th I reported eight sidewalk problems along the north side of Heather Dr. between Grasstree Ct. and Laurel Ct. I included photos and also mentioned these could be a safety hazard, especially for many of our older residents. The following day I received a call back which was much appreciated. Although some work has been done (see last paragraph), nothing at all was done to the most uneven slab. It is directly across from 700 Heather on the NORTH side of the street near a mailbox cluster. See 701_E_Heather_Dr.jpg. There is a full 2" difference in height. I am reporting this particular one again, because a resident tripped on it April 27th and received bruises and abrasions to her face and hands. Her name is Barbara Wachholz, and she lives at 3708 Grasstree Ct. A neighbor was concerned enough to photograph her face. Fortunately, no bones were broken. I notice some of these raised/uneven slabs were recently beveled or chipped off which could probably help. But I don't believe this was done thoroughly enough to help very much. For example the other end of the slab adjacent to the one I mentioned above wasn't chipped off all the way across. Please advise. Thank you, Marvin Allen, 3907 S. Laurel Ct.

sidewalk at 1231 Allendale Drive is not even. Tree root has uprooted part of the sidewalk. Can it be fixed? Dangerous for people walking or running or with a baby stroller.
Across from my driveway at 1520 E Maxwell Lane is a tall rotten tree that has been dead for years and has become a safety hazard by shedding limbs onto the sidewalk and street after every storm. It should be removed before somebody gets injured and the traffic on Maxwell Lane impeded.
