Last week my grandmother, Linda Gast, was walking near the Crescent Park Condos on John Hinkle Place across from the post office. She tripped on uneven sidewalk and fell and broke her arm. This break required an ED visit and surgery that included a metal plate and several screws. This sidewalk is near Bell Trace, where she lives, and a lot of older people are using the sidewalks in this area. We would really like to see some attention given to this sidewalk in order to prevent others from being injured.
The front cement area at the end of the driveway (on city street) is deteriorating, very unsightly, and could be a safety issue.
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
Cars keep parking in the yellow zone in front of the fire hydrant on the East side of Maple Street at West 7th St. Can the city send a crew to repaint the curb? They repainted the curbs on W 7th but did not repaint the curbs on Maple.
This is on 6th Street between Walnut and Washington Streets on the north side of the road on the northwest corner of the alleyway. The sidewalk is raised above a 1/2" (ADA says less) making it hard for a manual wheelchair to get over it. Must go around the block or out into the street. Can it be smoothed down or asphalt added to make it beveled?
