Sidewalk Requests

Could the City install a sidewalk along the west side of Dunn between Cottage Grove and 12th Street? There are also a couple sections in that stretch where there isn't even a sidewalk on the east side of the street, and a lot of people walk down that street even though it is only one-way.

ACCESSIBILITY:
I ride the bus to work at the Gov. Agency building at 1531 S. Curry Pike, and there most definitely needs to be a sidewalk that continues to wrap around further toward the bus stop so that wheel chairs or folks with other disabilities do not fall into the road. The area is super muddy, and even someone with good balance like me can't walk through it. There is a sidewalk leading through the parking lot, but where the bus drops you off there is no actual sidewalk, and the bus won't drop someone off at the actual sidewalk due to it obstructing the parking lot entrance. All it would take is probably about 20-30 feet of sidewalk right there. There may already be a number of complaints, but I really hope it gets fixed so someone doesn't flip their wheelchair into the road or something. Member of the Community Council for Accessibility here, and want to thank you for giving the opportunity to voice our concerns.
Thanks,
Chris :)

I’m writing to request the completion of unfinished sidewalks and the addition of some crosswalks on the west side of Bloomington.
The first is an unfinished stretch of sidewalk along the east side of Curry Pike from Industrial Avenue to the intersection of 2nd St./45. The sidewalk dead-ends before reaching the intersection, and there is no crosswalk at the intersection to allow pedestrians to cross safely from the north side of 2nd St./45 to the south side, or vice versa.
The second is a stretch of sidewalk along the north side of 2nd St. from Liberty Drive to Industrial Avenue. This sidewalk is overgrown and near unusable and dead-ends before reaching Industrial Avenue. Moreover, the intersection at Liberty Drive and 2nd St. has a crosswalk on only the north side (going east-west) and does not allow pedestrians to cross safely from the south to north side of 2nd St., or vice versa.
Lastly, the sidewalk on the west side of Curry Pike does not connect between Lamplighter Mall Ct. and Glen Oaks Drive, and connecting these stretches of sidewalk would provide better access to 3rd street and the neighborhoods along Curry Pike.
It would be much appreciated if the city could complete these stretches of sidewalk and make the area more walkable for those of us who do not have other modes of transportation or who simply prefer to walk the shorter distances to reach businesses and services that are close to home.
Best,
Marie

I often walk along 13th street between Indiana ave. and Fess ave. Could the sidewalks along this stretch of road be improved? On the south side, there's no sidewalk, and on the north side, the sidewalk is crumbling and difficult to use at night.

This wall has been across the sidewalk for TWO MONTHS now. The property is owned by J.R.R. Management (in Indy) and they have not cleaned this up. My partner had to move it out of my driveway to park my car. This barely makes the sidewalk wide enough for wheelchairs. There is also glass all along this sidewalk and it needs to be swept. I am disabled and can't do this myself.
