There are several areas of crumbling sidewalks on South Laurel Ct. in Peppergrass. Many residents need a smooth walking surface due to use of walkers, etc. Dogs get pebbles in their paws, children cannot safely walk on these areas. These areas have been in need of repair for several years.
The sidewalk just north of the YMCA sign on South Highland Ave is slick with mud. Erosion from an adjacent hillside and mud/leaves from the gutter keep the sidewalk muddy. I shoveled mud off off it for an hour earlier this week, but it needs more work. Cleaning the gutter would be a big help. Thanks!
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.
