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

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.

A dumpster was blocking a handicap parking space and into the sidewalk on Morton NW corner of 6th. I'm incredibly shocked that was approved especially when there has been those making sure the area is accessible downtown. Since there was a "different direction" in engineering maybe someone can keep an eye on that. Thank you so much. :)

Recurring problem. See #184772, #177627, #184699, #184577, etc. Actual address not clear, as it is on the property line of two lots. Plants are overgrown into the sidewalk along the south side of Cottage Grove just east of Grant Street. Pedestrians need to use that side of the street to avoid the fraternity in the apartment building on the north side of the street.

The city or a utility installed a new sidewalk. There are multiple pieces of rebar sticking straight up about eight inches on each side. The sidewall is marked with two orange construction cones. I presume the workers will be back at some point, but I don’t know when. Halloween brings a lot of foot traffic in this neighborhood, and I think folks may ignore the cones. It would be greatly appreciated if the rebar could be trimmed or otherwise handled before then. Thank you.

This racecar track is still blocking the sidewalk and the original report--case #186097--hasn't progressed. Can you assign a different person to this case that might address this issue?
