Blocked Sidewalk

3313 S Allendale DR

Case Date:
2/11/2024

There is a car completely blocking the sidewalk in the driveway at 3313 S Allendale Dr. It's positioned such that a person in a wheelchair or a parent with a stroller has to go uphill on the grass a bit to cross the driveway. The car has been there without moving at least since Christmas.

Truck trailers partially blocking the sidewalk again. First, thank you to the Engineering Department for getting the business to move the truck out of the way of sidewalk when the sidewalk was the official pedestrian route around the Duke construction across the street in August 2023. Thank you! The problem reappeared this morning, now with a second trailer. I am sending this uReport to the Engineering Department, since you were able to get a remedy quickest last time. But please forward this uReport to Parking Services if that will get a remedy sooner.

There is a larger sign that is laying on the ground on the sidewalk. It serves no purpose (since it is on the ground) and blocks almost the whole sidewalk

201 E Vermilya AVE

Case Date:

Hello! The sidewalk (north side) of Vermilya going towards Walnut has quite a bit of mud and debris that has left the sidewalk quite dangerous. I walk this on my way to work and have slipped a number of times. (There also are a number of overgrown plants, which doesn't help matters.) Is this upkeep the responsibility of the residents? Can something be done to make it safer? Thank you!

Case Date:

The sidewalk along Lincoln Street, near 8th street, has been blocked for the last few days during the daytime. It doesn't seem like anyone has been working there, so it seems like it has been closed just to be closed

Sidewalk & Curb Complaints

613 E 12th ST

Case Date:
1/2/2024

At the NW corner of the intersection of 12th and Fess, there is a relatively new, ADA-compliant sidewalk/curb installation. There may be physical and/or legal reasons for having the center, raised concrete portion present, but it is not obvious and as a result is a trip hazard. We have tripped on it several times. There is a current project at the same intersection, so we were hoping that they could redo it or at least paint the section yellow so that it stands out. It is dangerous the way it is now.

Blocked Sidewalk

911 N College AVE

Case Date:

Hi - this is follow-up to ureport #186407. It is the sidewalk on the west side of College Ave just south of 14th street, near the train bridge. First off, thanks for your prompt attention! Unfortunately, the sidewalk is still not its full width. The historical sidewalk is about 8ft wide, and I believe pedestrians should enjoy the full width that was provided decades ago. I drew a red line on the photo to show where the edge of the sidewalk is. Everything to the right of that red line is vegetation and dirt that is encroaching on the sidewalk. What is to be done? I have done this work myself at the 11th&Fairview train bridge. I can do between 25 and 50 linear feet of this kind of work per hour with a shovel. This would generate nearly a yard of waste dirt which will need to go somewhere. An ideal solution would also stabilize the hillside but please don't let the perfect get in the way of the good. Please forward this to Director Wason as that sort of investment will require some leadership. I have watched work crews use line trimmers to move dirt and sand, which seems like a failure to provide the tools for the actual task they face. If pedestrians aren't worthy of this sort of consideration from the city, please let me know. Thanks! - Greg 812-391-3535

Excessive Growth

104 E Cottage Grove AVE

Case Date:
12/1/2023

Not sure of address - might be both houses - but the shrubs on the north side of the properties here have grown large by the sidewalk and make it difficult to navigate without stepping to the side and walking on the grass. Definitely not ADA compliant at present.
