This is one of the sidewalks on my route to school, the library, the grocery story. It is so uneven that I have a very hard time navigating it in my power chair.
This is one of the sidewalks on my route to school, the library, the grocery story. It is so uneven that I have a very hard time navigating it in my power chair.
The curb at the corner of Landmark and Arch Haven is very steep, about 3 inches of rise at an angle probably close to 70°. Landmark Ave has many medical facilities and this path is the one people would travel on between Adams and 3rd St where transit vehicles provide access. It should be smoothed out to provide a safer ramp for people with mobility devices and unsure footing.
Sidewalks need plowed between lots by the flagpoles.
The boulder that was installed at the corner of South Fess Avenue and the alley behind Bloomingfoods/The Elm has been moved into the sidewalk.
I use a power wheelchair, and it is very difficult for me to navigate the route to school due to several very uneven sidewalks and curbs. My Mom and I took pictures of the worst places, and I'll send them block by block. This first one is of the curb/alley of the block I live on.
Uneven sidewalk near my house on W. 4th
Submitted on behalf of Casey Guarino. On August 8, 2024, around 12:30 PM, both sides of S. Rogers St. were obstructed and impassible for wheelchair users around 714 S. Rogers. One sidewalk had no curb cut access due to construction. The other sidewalk, at 715 S. Rogers, was blocked by a temporary sign. Casey requested that a construction worker in the area move the temporary sign so that she could pass. The worker refused, saying "People who can walk can get around." When a passerby picked up the sign, the worker said "You can't do that." The passerby briefly moved the sign regardless, and Casey was able to reach her destination. However, both sidewalks remain obstructed, which is a major accessibility problem.
Bush blocking entire walkway. Also blocks ability for drivers pulling out of the alley to see people approaching the alley. Nearly got hit by homeowner from across alley from 717.
Overgrowth of brush and trees making it difficult to walk on the sidewalk.Property can be identified by a lot of tiger lillies in the landscaping. Resident wishes to remain anonymous but provided phone number to answer further questions if needed.
The Bloomington Housing Authority has a resident that has requested an ADA be installed on Miller Drive the street to the south of Park Avenue so he can access the bus stop at the entrance of Walnut Woods from his apartment on Park Avenue. He also states it's hard for him to get off the bus at the stop on Park Avenue.
