Power wheelchair hazard! Walnut St. N of 11th in front of Makie Properties. This innocent appearing grade (mis-) alignment brought my full-speed power wheelchair to an instant halt as my undercarrage hit the hard concrete stop. Ouch. Pain & confusion. Wheelchair high centered & useless. Good samaritans helped. Once recovered, with this sidepath obstruction I was forced to continue my journey by entering the motorway in a dangerous back-to-traffic mode. I thank God things worked out OK (in time the resultant aches and pains should lessen)
E 2nd street at CVS/Goodwill. Damaged siderail blocking sidewalk.
E 3rd at Orange Leaf yoghurt shop. Overgrown hedge blocking sidewalk.
Pedestrian crossing buttons on pole at E 3rd & Woodscrest light inaccessible to power chair due to soft surface (mulch) between sidewalk and pole. This is a common type problem with, for example, grass surface between walk and poles at Country Club & S Rogers, or sheer dropoff between walk and button at Kinser & 46 (yeah, "tell it to the State." -- why won't you?)
I want to commend Adam Wason, Shelby Walker, and Rhea Carter on helping me resolve my trash can problem. They went above and beyond. They deserve recognition. Not only did they fix the problem, I learned new things about sanitation services, which was very cool. They didn't cover that so much in the Citizen's Academy back in the day. I am SO THANKFUL for their help.
Subsiding utility cut between manhole cover and curb on the north side of E First in front of the third house from the corner with Walnut.
There has been a strong smell of raw sewage along the Jackson Creek Trail near the bridge between Olcott Park and Sherwood Oaks park the last two days.
