I live at 1009 S. Lincoln St., and running in a perpendicular line to the street from our water access, at the house edge of the sidewalk, there's a big hole. It seems to go below the sidewalk a little. I'm not sure if I should just fill it in, or if it is indicative of a larger problem that should be addressed. I'd love a little guidance from the experts! Thanks!
I've noticed a lot of people walking from the apartment complex out to the main road on this street and I wanted to send a report to see if someone could either trim the foliage to ensure people can walk on the side of the road or if a sidewalk could be created down South Oakdale Drive to protect pedestrians. Thank you!
The north side of 13th Street between Indiana and Fess has an old limestone masonry sidewalk, maybe from the 1950s (?) It is interesting for historic reasons - it looks like it matches the sidewalks that flank Lincoln between 10th and Cottage Grove - but parts of it have degraded to a point that it is now a bit awkward to walk on it, especially at night. (It is definitely not ADA-complaint.) Is there an office in town dedicated to historic preservation that could commission a team of masons to redo this sidewalk? There is a concrete sidewalk just east of this block that appears to match the pattern, but it is poured concrete with pattern-pressed and actually looks a little comical, as if it is trying to be something that it is not. Also, a side note: there is no sidewalk on the south side of 13th Street in this block. If there were one there (especially ADA-compliant), people could more safely walk from campus to "The Standard" along that street.
There are several city tree's growing out of the side walk that are touching the building at 108 East 6th street that need to be trimmed back.
The sidewalk to the east of our front steps is cracked. A large mud puddle stays there, such that we need to keep it covered in straw in order for pedestrians not to slip and get muddy. This section is just next to the new sidewalks planned for the intersection of Fairview and Dodds streets. Including this segment in your replacements and repairs will allow an efficient, strategic improvement. Thank you.
I am the President of the Eastern Height Neighborhood Association and our community has been in desperate need for sidewalks along 10th Street from E Etter Drive through to Grandview neighborhood, as well as crosswalks to University Elementary School. The Grandview, Park Ridge East and Park Ridge neighborhood organizations are also requesting this, as well as University Elementary School. We understand the complications with the State, but a meeting is needed to begin the formal process of gaining walking access in this area. Not only will it allow our children to walk to school, but it will provide community members in Tamarron and Eastern Heights the ability to safely walk to the bus stop and access the University and downtown without the use of cars. Please contact me in order to discuss how we can help you help us. Thank you very much. Lauren Dula
Since I live at 4200 E Deckard Drive, I am a resident of Eastern Heights neighborhood and our community has been in desperate need for sidewalks along 10th Street from E. Etter Drive through to Grandview neighborhood. We also need crosswalks to University Elementary School. We understand the complications with it being a State road, but a meeting is needed to begin the formal process of gaining walking access in this area. Not only will it allow our children to walk to school, but it will provide community members in Tamarron and Eastern Heights the ability to safely walk to the bus stop and access the University and downtown without the use of cars.
We need sidepaths on east 10th at least to University School. Someone will be hit walking "the dip" Its been needed for years. More walkers in the last few!
I have been a resident of the Eastern Heights neighborhood since 1978. Even before I moved into the neighborhood I remember seeing signs along St. Rd. 45 pleading for sidewalks to be constructed there. Our children have to ride the bus to school (even though University School is literally right across the street from our neighborhood) because of the lack of sidewalks and safe crossing of St. Rd. 45. I know that our area is governed by the Seymour district of INDOT and that they believe the area does not have enough traffic to warrant a sidewalk. I also know that the traffic count was completed several years ago in December during I.U.'s winter break and half of the town was gone. I suspect if they conducted another count during a time with typical traffic, they would find a completely different result. We have waited long enough for sidewalks. Now is the time, please! Thanks for your help in getting this accomplished.
I would like to request sidewalks along the 10th Street and a crosswalk from and to University Elementary School at Russel Rd or Tamarron Dr so that more children from neighboring communities can enjoy walking and biking to school. I understand the complications with it being a State road, but with schools and the city promoting healthy living and lifestyle, it seems that a discussion about gaining walking access in this area is important. Not only will it allow our children to walk to school, but it will provide community members in Tamarron, Eastern Heights, and nearby apartments the ability to safely access the bus stops and downtown without using cars.
