I strongly second this Ureport: #207017 " .. Bricks are slipperier than concrete when wet ". This is a well known problem, along with brick walks being more expensive to maintain, and prone to problems. If this news report is correct, https://bsquarebulletin.com/brick-fix-okd-for-kirkwood-avenue-at-491k-cost/, Adam Wason says city is now not planning to replace slippery, unsafe brick sidewalk because "it looks iconic". Please reconsider this opinion, that looks triumph over safety. I do not have walking problems, but I have often slipped on the brick sidewalks in nearby IU area that are often wet, slick, iced and uneven when concrete walks are fine.
I’m beyond disappointed that the city is planning to replace the brick sidewalks downtown with more bricks. The ADA requires that sidewalks be firm, stable and slip resistant. Bricks are slipperier than concrete when wet, and bricks are prone to breaking or get dislodged. The city has not maintained its existing brick sidewalks well. Please reconsider this decision, and please consult your accessibility committee before you go forth with this misguided project. Safety should prevail over looks.
Downtown Bloomington transit station bathroom does not have ADA compliant toilet paper dispenser. It's too far away from toilet. And accessible entrance automatic doors on outside of the building are not working.
Cafe Thistle has a flag that is blocking the sidewalk. It would be disorienting for a blind person to run into.
There are large stones blocking the sidewalk on the north side of 2nd, a bit west of Wendy’s and also closer to the trail. You wouldn’t leave barriers in the roads. Why do you leave them on sidewalks? Thank you.
The fields were all locked. Me and my toddler like to work on base running and using the little playground in there. Don't understand why they are locked. There were clearly no reservations and the fence height isn't of insufficient height to prevent entrance of someone who wanted to get in. So seems redundant and a waste of resources to leave them locked (who wants to have to come unlock them). If you could leave them unlocked during the day when there are no reservations that would be great. It is important to me to have the space to explore the sport of baseball with my children.

While I am happy that a path was made, the plate in the middle of the sidewalk creates both a trip hazard and an impediment to anyone using a wheelchair or other mobility aid
Had to ramp up and down each floor of the garage up to 5th due to festival, game, etc overloading area with vehicles. No elevator in service for months. When will this be fixed? That is unacceptable for lack of accessibility in the Morton garage.
