At the South West corner of Indiana and Kirkwood-across from IU Sample Gates, and in front of IU memorabilia store, the handicap pedestrian ramp is completely deteriorated at the juncture with the road. My wife and I saw a man in a wheelchair nearly tip over, and fail repeatedly in trying to descend from sidewalk to cross street to campus. Two passerby's finally aided in his journey. It is very dangerous and unaccessible for handicapped folks.
528 Park ridge road tripped on sidewalk. Horrible inaccessible deterioration at yellow house few houses North too. City needs to fix these or hold homeowners actually responsible if won't.
Lip too large for wheelchair on sidewalk in front of frat house at ne corner of seventh and Indiana
I’m not sure what this is but it has left a large hole in the sidewalk. It’s off to the side so it doesn’t seem to be directly in the way of most foot traffic, but I figure it’s still a bit of a hazard. It appears to have half of a metal covering in it. It’s right outside the bluebird nightclub and that new Campus Craves place.
There is a big piece of steel rebar sticking out of the sidewalk near the eastern entrance to 2427 E 2nd Street. It's become a safety issue for cars and pedestrian as many kids walk through there to get to the elementary school. Unsure if since it's an IU office if it's IU property? Thank you for investigating and potentially resolving.
On 6/13 a community member tripped and fell on uneven sidewalk on Sare Road, somewhere between between the Olcott Park path and East Canada Drive. This was during a Parks & Recreation Walking Club event. The sidewalk in this area has some raised, very uneven sections in several places. The woman who fell bruised her knee and hands and had to be driven home, she was unable to finish the planned walk.
On Walnut Street the sidewalk near the railroad is covered in glass pieces, which is a hazard for people and animals making the sidewalk inaccessible for dog walking. There is also often glass in the grass between the sidewalk and the road, which again is a hazard for animals.
In front of 205 S. Walnut Street the sidewalk has settled and it has created a large step that several pedestrians have tripped and fell over
Sidewalk in front of house has degraded to a point that it is dangerous if someone used a scooter in the dark along this stretch, or even walking. Next time the owner applies to renew the rental permit, please stipulate that the current sidewalk be taken up and a fresh one poured to match the rest of that block and remove the current hazard.
