I'm disabled and can't shovel if I try to back the truck into one lane. Wouldn't be able to unload my scooter from the truck bed and road would be blocked.

With all the new people coming to town I think it would be helpful to place one of those yellow safety signs on the B- line where the B- line crosses Kirkwood like the one on 6 th where the B-line crosses it. I have lived here quite awhile and I still often forget to check for pedestrians, bicyclists, scooter, etc crossing the B-line on Kirkwood. In fact I think it would be helpful to place these yellow safety signs wherever the B-line crosses the streets.
The sidewalk on moores here is sloped dangerously towards a steep drop into a creek. It's not safe for wheelchair/mobility scooter/crutch users
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.
Here in Winslow Farm it appears that almost none of our sidewalks intersect with the road in an ADA compliant manner. My Wife was transitioning from this sidewalk end to the street (East Winslow Farm Drive)and her mobility scooter tipped over dumping her in the road. She sustained three serious wounds which required a trip to the emergency room, where we spent fives hours. I don't know if this is a city issue, Winslow Farm issue, or combination of the two. She is not the only mobility challenged resident here and I would hate to see someone else seriously injured.
Dear City Hall, I am writing to bring to your attention an issue I have noticed on the north side of 3rd Street, between Grant Street and Dunn Street, next to the public parking lot. The sidewalk in this area has become hazardous due to the roots of a large tree causing the paving stones to rise, creating a tripping hazard for pedestrians. This is particularly concerning because the bike lane on 3rd Street, heading east to west, ends at Dunn Street, forcing cyclists and scooter riders onto the sidewalk. Many cyclists and scooter riders have tripped over the uneven pavement here. Additionally, the sidewalk at the northwest corner of Dunn Street and 3rd Street has multiple areas of damage. These issues pose a significant risk to public safety, and I kindly request that the necessary repairs be carried out as soon as possible. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, Edward Mao A Concerned Resident of B-Town
In the middle of the intersection of 4th and College, there is a manhole cover. It is in the east bound lanes of 4th Street as they cross over College Avenue. On the south side of this manhole cover, there is a MASSIVE pot hole. If you are biking on 4th headed east, as so many people do, that pothole is just waiting to grab hold of your front tire, latch on to it, and spit you out head first over the handlebars, smacking into the pavement. Someone will go down. Just a matter of time. A scooter probably won't stand a chance either.
Large, rectangular, deep pothole--east 10th street--north side of the street across from Wells Library-pothole is next to the curb. Looks like it had been repaired a long time ago, but the filler has been removed in chunks. It's a mess & probably dangerous if someone on a bike or scooter tries to ride over it.
The pavement breakup at the intersection of Winslow Farm Drive and So. Highland is really getting awful. I am almost unable to cross that area in my mobility scooter to access the sidewalk to Winslow Sports Complex. Also, a pothole has developed at the SOUTHERN intersection of Moss Creek Drive and Winslow Farm Drive. Several other intersections in Winslow Farm also could use maintenance.
Large potholes on 11th street at Washington. Caused a scooter rider to crash as I witnessed.
