Uneven walk to rised curb (tripping hazard, then yet another drops from curb to street, then three move tripping spots erosion of 3 level is street layers of asphalt. Thanks!
There is still a trip hazard on the overpass, adjacent to the convention center, near the steps. Sometimes there’s a cone over it but the cone goes away. Sometimes there’s a broken cover which is better than nothing. But now there’s nothing at all.
New wheelchair ramp northeast corner of S Southern Pines Ct & W Pinehurst has a 2-3 inch drop, making it inaccessible to wheelchairs.
The one section of sidewalk is below the other two adjoining sections creating difficulty for those with mobility problems as well as older people. It is hazardous for those with vision problems who might not be able to discern the sudden in drop.
The post office on S. Walnut St. has no disabled accessible sidewalk or way to get into the building from the sidewalk on Walnut Street. You have to walk in the road in the parking lot to get to the door of the post office because there’s no sidewalk connecting the sidewalk on Walnut Street to the front door of the building. I got run into buy a car backing out of a parking spot today and I’m a blind person using a white cane for mobility.
The ADA requires that sidewalks be firm, stable and slip-resistant. Numerous bricks that make up the downtown sidewalk are loose or missing. I saw an older woman trip on one of these in front of Fountain Square this week. I helped her up and when her husband took her to the ER because she may have broken her ankle. When it’s wet, these sidewalks are slippery than concrete sidewalks. They look nice but they are hazardous. At the least, the city needs to do a better job of maintaining them. Thank you.
There is still a hole in the sidewalk near the steps. It’s quite deep. I’ve complained before. Sometimes it’s covered with a cone but then the cone goes away. Why can’t the city put a true cover on this tripping hazard? Thank you.
Had to ramp up and down each floor of the garage up to 5th due to festival, game, etc overloading area with vehicles. No elevator in service for months. When will this be fixed? That is unacceptable for lack of accessibility in the Morton garage.
