In the Westpointe subdivision, the sidewalk on the East side of Larkspur has never been completed. Also the sidewalk on the East side of Adams has not been completed to connect to the walk near the Youth Services building. When can we expect to have completed sidewalks in our neighborhood. We’ve been here 30 years and they’ve never been finished. Thank you?
Pedestrian bridge across the bypass has deteriorated on both sides making it inaccessible for people in Wheels Chairs & Other adaptive equipment. Needs repaired asap for ADA compliance
women contacted the mayors office saying she had contacted the non-emergency police number for over an hour the prior night due to a homelessness problem in Bryan Park. never received a response from non emergency line and then contacted 911
Handicap parking spot should be on the south side of the ramp instead of further away from the building entrance.
Side walk completely covered by bush. Must walk into the street to pass. House Faces Kirkwood directly next to Rose hill cemetery. Directly behind Bloomington parks and red house.
The bird and limes must be managed better. This photo came via FB to me today. I can also say while driving through campus one day I counted 7, seven, such incidents where scooters blocked accessibility. I'd also like to report I had 2, TWO, near misses as scooters riders failed to yeld or even slow down and look as they crossed and intersection. Please stop this nonsense!
I have observed that a couple of the interpretative signs around City Hall are too high. Most of the signs along the B-Line are about 34" high. But two of them, one next to the Hopewell jar fountain and the other on the B-Line across from the Bloomington Banquet sculpture, are 45" and 43" high respectively. Small children and people in wheelchairs would not be able to read these signs. Those two signs, unlike many of the others, are not mounted in a footer. So it would probably be easy to cut a portion of the pole off and lower them so they are more accessible. I am sure both of these signs are out of compliance with the ADA. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
The ADA requires that sidewalks be firm, stable and slip-resistant. Numerous bricks that make up the downtown sidewalk are loose or missing. I saw an older woman trip on one of these in front of Fountain Square this week. I helped her up and when her husband took her to the ER because she may have broken her ankle. When it’s wet, these sidewalks are slippery than concrete sidewalks. They look nice but they are hazardous. At the least, the city needs to do a better job of maintaining them. Thank you.
There’s still snow on 3rd between Walnut and College, on the south side of the street adjacent to the county building used for early voting. And there’s still snow on either side of the overpass on 3rd leading to the B-Line trail. It hasn’t snowed in almost two weeks. Why build a trail for pedestrians if you don’t make it easy to get to the trail? Please do better in the next snowstorm.
