The road here is covered in a thick, sludgy gravel that is utterly inaccessible by wheelchair and difficult to traverse as an ambulatory person. This is in direct violation of the ADA as he wheelchair accessibility issue prevents the disabled from directly interacting with their community.
On August 27, a bicyclist came down Olive Street, which is a city bike lane, and flew into traffic in front of my truck. It was raining and I slammed on my brakes but it was too late and I hit him with my truck. The man who is a teacher at IU ended up with two spinal fractures, a horribly broken leg and a concussion. He was at fault but if you take a look at that hill it is very steep. I think his brakes locked up and he hydroplaned into the road. There was busy traffic going both ways on Hillside. This happened at 8:35 AM in the rain in front of a school bus from Templeton. I live in the Arden neighborhood and we walk our children to school at Harmony often. There is NO CROSSWALK anywhere between High Street and Henderson Street. It makes me nervous to try and send my kids to school on bikes or even let them walk. I hope that there maybe something that could be done at that intersection in the form of a sign or flashing light and some paint across the street to make people aware that bicyclist maybe crossing there. As I was going down Hillside today, I saw another bicyclist shoot out across the road from Olive up to Weatherstone. I think the bicyclist don’t always know how steep that hill is and you can’t really see the traffic on Hillside until you are at the bottom of it. I was 8 months pregnant on my way to a OB appt at 8:35 when this wreck accured. Traffic was very heavy and everyone was going the speed limit. Even though he was at fault in the eyes of the law, this accident ruined his life I’m sure. I really dont want any stop signs on hillside but like I said, some kind of cross walk might be smart since there is a park and a school within a block of this incident. Thank you
Miller Pipeline has started working our neighborhood, and I've seen several of their trucks driving along Queens Way and Montclair at speeds probably above the school zone limit. This is happening right around the time lots of kids and families are walking through the neighborhood down to Childs Elementary. Can the city talk with Miller Pipeline and remind them of the school zone speed limits, or perhaps station some officers in the neighborhood during the morning?
I originally reported an issue with the High Street sidewalk on the northeast corner of the High/Winslow roundabout last summer. The sidewalk in this area is being heavily encroached with vines from the neighboring property. It is extremely difficult to navigate this section safely with young kids walking to the Jackson Creek trail, as the vines are pushing you out towards the roadway. Can this please be cleaned up for this summer? This was originally reported on July 23, 2018 as case # 165250.
The sidewalk along Rogers from High St to reach the crosswalk to enter the goat farm park is always partially blocked by overgrown bushes. It seems fine if you’re walking by yourself but if you are pushing a stroller or using a wheelchair or bicycle or someone is coming the other way, it is generally necessary to step off the sidewalk to negotiate the turns
Table does not leave enough space for wheelchairs.
Crazyhorse bar sandwich board sign placed in the middle of the sidewalk.
Overgrowth blocking sidewalk at 1211 W. 11th St.
Vegetation has overtaken the sidewalk at 411 s Lincoln, forcing pedestrian traffic into the street. It certainly isn’t ADA compliant.
Excessive overgrowth is interfering with use of the sidewalk along Sare Rd.
