West side of North Maple Street (both north and south of intersection at Maple and 6th) sidewalk blocked, line of sight issues, vegetation grown out into walk,
Hello. This is not a complaint. Its actually a thank you very very much. The turnabout that was installed on 17th St. behind tri-north is absolutely amazing. It has improved traffic flow so much. I thank you. I'm writing to let you know there are still a series of "sidewalk alternate route" signs that were placed on 11th and Blair, 11th and Maple, up by Mills Pool, and various other places leading from my neighborhood to the turnabout. They seem to not be used anymore and I notice they get moved either into the street, up into peoples yards, or back in the middle of the sidewalk. If construction is done, I just wanted to inform you that they are just generally being forgotten about by whomever put them there. If they are still being used, they are just laying about being ineffective. Just trying to be a good citizen. Thanks for all you do!
The pedestrian overpass across SR46 at Arlington School has a very rough alignment with W Gourley Pike. Also, the sidewalk leading toward Colonial Crest and Kinser Pike is discontinuous and there is a blind curve on Gourley Pike at that point making the use of this pedestrian route quite hazardous for me in my power wheelchair.
Hello, I am wondering if there are plans to finish the bikepath from Henderson along Winslow all the way up to Highland and the Winslow Sports complex. I live in Sherwood Oaks, and this would make biking to work on campus and biking downtown much safer for me. It would be great if someone from the city could reach out to Sherwood Oaks Neighborhood and let us know up sidewalk and bikepath plans along winslow, henderson and rhorer. I would also like to see a sidewalk all the way from Henderson to Jackson Creek Middle along Rhorer.
Vegetation overgrowth. Makes this sidewalk impassable because it's a sticker bush.
Last year, the section of the sidewalk at Washington and Cottage Grove was replaced, but the workers left a trench in the road that collects water and breeds mosquitos. I couldn't help but notice when similar work was done this summer on 10th street and a layer of pavement was laid alongside the sidewalk to fill the trench there. Probably just an oversight but it'd be nice to get this job completed.
Retaining wall collapsing (again) on NW corner of property. Large limestone block has fallen into sidewalk, blocking wheelchair and stroller passage.
Please see attached photo. This location is at 10th and Park and has been reported to the IU Grounds Dept. as a tripping hazard. The gray bucket is there to indicate a bus pickup for the Boy Scouts that are in town but the metal and the sandbags are blocking the sidewalk, our crews moved the items off the sidewalk and into the homeowners yard. Please pickup. Thanks Jill.
The large section of the fir tree that blew down last Tuesday is blocking both the sidewalk and the entire southbound lane of Highland. This sidewalk is used by a lot of Winslow Farm residents who walk to the YMCA or trail around the park to the east of Highland. I've seen people walk into the street to get around the large tree section. I hope that will be removed soon. Highland gets a lot of traffic especially when there are events at the Winslow Sports Complex. Removal of the tree should be a high priority.
