Sidewalks badly in need of repair on S Washington in front of 536
Walk button on west side of road doesn't have sound
side walk pavement tilted and broken for potential walking hazard, pithole on the road around the turning corner under the stop sign
The railing on the north side of the overpass between the B-line and College is damaged. Some of the uprights appear to have broken off and the fence is listing into the sidewalk. There have been spot repairs here before--I reported one last year. A spot repair would be good, but I suspect something more permanent needs to be done.
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.
Sidewalk raised and broken due to tree roots causing tripping hazard.
sidwalk broken sidewalk need fix
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.
The sidewalk on both side of our driveway have become a major trip hazard with about a 5 or 6 inch drop. We have small children that have tripped and fallen due to the root system of the trees that have caused the sidewalk to raise and crack. Additionally, small animals seem to make their way under the sidewalk.
Uneven sidewalk in two places on this block (south side)
