New sidewalk is missing a curb cut and thus not ADA compliant
New sidewalk is missing a curb cut and thus not ADA compliant
On the north side of Sheridan where it intersects E First there is an overhanging branch that hits our car antenna every time we drive by. Hard to see whose property it is.
While you likely know that the new retaining wall on the SE corner of this intersection has collapsed due to flooding, you should note that there is a huge sink hole next to the storm drain on the SW corner of the intersection, in the grass. We placed some stakes around the sink hole to draw attention to its location. My other concern is that the culvert under High St may have been damaged (or now susceptible to further damage) but may not be easily noticed. An engineer should check it out, it's a dangerous situation overall.
Last night (Friday, 19 June), I removed several mats covering drains on Queens Way at High St, just south of Wimbleton on High St, and on Arden near High St. They are part of the Jackson creek Trail Phase II project - but given the immense rain, they were causing dangerous street flooding (several feet high). They will need replacing.
Sidewalk is overgrown where this road leaves the fields apt complex (just after the sidewalk crosses to the north side of the road)
There is a large downed tree branch blocking the entire street at about 703 S. Rose Avenue.
Overhanging limbs and blocked sidewalk across from the park entrance.
Overhanging limbs on Winslow farm dr. Between the 2 Olde Mills.
Good news: curb cuts being added on E Covenanter! Bad news: desperately needing oversight and quality control. This curb cut FAILS several accessibilty standards.
There are tall orange cones in front of 521 W. Kirkwood & pink paint marking the lawn & sidewalk. Same set-up across the street. If the city is planning to dig up something--pipes, et, will this affect where the BL Transit can pickup & drop passengers? I catch the bus in front of 521 to go to work. Thanks.
