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.

I am not requesting a sidewalk, only that the city finish a sidewalk project it started a long time ago. Three years ago the city installed a new sidewalk on the south west quadrant of Kinser Pike and the 46/45 Bypass. A black fabric erosion barrier was installed and never removed. This eyesore has been in place since the completion of the project. The State of Indiana is unable to mow this area because of the obstruction. It would be nice if the city would remove this so it can once again be mowed. According to the city this area is part of the "scenic gateway corridor" to Bloomington. For the past few years it has been anything but scenic. Thank you for taking a look at this situation. Regards, Jeff Stevens, Owner, Harley-Davidson of Bloomington 812-333-8300

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.

There is a segment of the sidewalk that is completely missing. When it rains, it turns into a large puddle that is difficult to step over.
