Accessibility Problem
Downtown
- Case Date:
- 12/3/2025
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.

I live across from Rosehill and walked into town today. Many of my neighbors had not yet shoveled their walks, making me walk in the street, which is never a great idea. The worse address was 516 W 3rd, but there were many bad sports between my house and downtown (and some bad spots downtown). It’s been more than 24 hours since the snow stopped. Please remind people about the snow removal ordinance, and please do a much better job of enforcing it. Thank you.

Ice covering sidewalks on both sides of street. Last year was the same, never clear ice or snow from sidewalks. These are house rentals for IU students, so surely the owners can afford snow, ice removal!

I was at the downtown antique mall on Monday and the meter I used is eating quarters. I put in $1.25 and got thirty minutes on the meter. I decided not to put any more in after that because I didn’t know whether it would give me credit for any of them. H76137 7thw0. It’s right directly across from the antique mall on the north side.

I don't know whether these streets are managed by the city or by Regency (or whoever owns the apartments and houses over here), but this morning, the entire stretch of road between the houses and the apartment buildings was solid ice. The road behind the apartment buildings wasn't much better. I slid all over the place trying to leave this morning, and since parking enforcement also never seems to monitor this area, the road between the apartments and the houses is always parked bumper-to-bumper along both sides. So I basically slid between two rows of cars with barely enough room to get through, just sort of praying that I didn't slide into a car. I managed to make it through unscathed, but SOMEONE needs to put salt or ice-melt down on these roads back here. I drove on stretches of solid ice all the way until I reached the road by the elementary school. The entire neighborhood back here was icy or snowy, and since there's too many people parked back through this entire area anyway, getting through there was a nightmare. This was a minor snowstorm in the grand scheme of things - frankly, I'm terrified of what will happen if/when we get a big storm.
If the city is responsible for these roads, could someone PLEASE put salt/ice-melt down out here so we can drive safely?
If the apartment and/or house owners are responsible for these roads, could someone PLEASE remind them that they need to salt the roads as well as the sidewalks?
Thank you.
