Worse than a scooter - cannot get by on sidewalk
Worse than a scooter - cannot get by on sidewalk
It's not inaccessible, but the parking lines around the square are now completely invisible this morning, under a light dusting of snow. I contacted the City about this two months ago, and got a message saying that it was "resolved" and that they "would be painting the lines this week." They remain unpainted. I am the County Recorder, I work in the Courthouse, and I and many others here arrive before full light in the winter. We cannot see to park. Please get these painted at the earliest possible date. Thank you. -Eric Schmitz
The parking lines on the south side of the square are even more invisible than they were last year when I requested they be re-painted. I was told last summer that the painting was scheduled, and then it was winter and it hadn't been done. Then I was told it was scheduled for this past spring. It's still not done. Can we PLEASE get these painted this year before the snow flies? -Eric Schmitz, Monroe County Recorder
At 900 W Kirkwood Ave, in front of the gates at our company, there seems to be a continuous pooling/running of water right at the sidewalk. It runs into the road and then east on the street. With colder weather coming, our concern is it freezing and causing more problems.
Large amounts of water have been draining out of the parking lot of Morrison's Appliance store on West Kirkwood Ave. During freezing temperatures, this creates a large sheet of ice accross the sidewalk and along the northern edge of Kirkwood Ave creating a hazard for pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles.
111? E. Kirkwood: Some sort of restaurant runoff (floor cleaning water?) is dumped from behind Opi Taylor's/Malibu. This goes on year round, but creates a sheet of ice in the winter (as it is today). The water runs/ices in front of an empty lot, so no one deals with the sidewalk. It's approx. 111? E. Kirkwood, just past the alley behind Book Corner, just at the start of the parking lot next to CVS. I originally reported this in 2017, I guess before it was cold. ureport#161324 and I was told it was runoff from an AC unit, which I think we can be sure is not the case in today's weather. I'm a daily walker from the near westside to campus. This is an ongoing problem. I really would like someone to just take some responsibility for either the initial liquid or the ice that results. Thank you :)
Line of scooters blocking sidewalk in front of Runcible Spoon.
Under cut sidewalk. Lack of fill and support under the slab.
CFC owns this "Smoker's Station" outside the Alion Building next to the Ivy Tech Waldron entrance on the 100 block of S Walnut St, NW corner of 4th & Walnut. The broken pieces keep blowing around on the sidewalk, creating tripping hazards. Several weeks ago, the trash inside it caught on fire. CFC has been asked repeatedly to fix it or remove it. With the top broken off, it will keep catching on fire. Can you talk to them about getting rid of it?
The sidewalk along Rogers from High St to reach the crosswalk to enter the goat farm park is always partially blocked by overgrown bushes. It seems fine if you’re walking by yourself but if you are pushing a stroller or using a wheelchair or bicycle or someone is coming the other way, it is generally necessary to step off the sidewalk to negotiate the turns
