Hi! Filing as a resident. The people who live at 508 N Adam’s have been blocking the easement that runs between their propert and the tow lot, connecting Alexander St. To the B-Line. Last time I asked about this access point, I believe COB was planning to put a sidewalk in. The pile blocking the easement has grown since I took the attached. Thank you!
A fence has been bent down over the B-Line near where it ends at Adams St. Along the top edge of the fence, is sharply pointed barbed wire. This is positioned above the trail precisely where it will catch a cyclist in his face causing severe injury. This is such a very dangerous situation that it should be taken care of with the highest priority.
The curb ramps on both sides of this intersection (N Adams and 10th) are inaccessible, as well as the road itself having so many potholes to be inaccessible for disabled pedestrians. The southern curb has too large of a lip to easily get over with a mobility aid. The northern curb is angled too steeply vertically and tilted sideways, in such a way that one of the four wheels of wheelchair/rollator loses contact and cannot get up the sidewalk.
The unimproved city owned right of way of Alexander St, between 10th St and the B-Line, has recently been occupied by neighbors. The right of way is used as a walking route by the neighborhood in conjunction with the B-Line. It hasn't escalated to conflict yet, but it is currently a little awkward. Adams St is a lot less pleasant to walk on than Alexander. Adams is noisy with car traffic, often cluttered with trash cans, very unpleasant in the rain and utterly unusable in the snow when the snowplow plow the snow out of the street onto the sidewalk. There's plenty of on street parking on 10th. The unimproved route is a bit muddy in wet weather, and it would be good if there was a sidewalk connecting the street network with the B-Line (much like the B-Line - Butler Park connector on the southeast side of the railroad overpass over the B-line). While the route on the Alexander ROW (on the west side of Rick's Towing lot) needs to be defended, if a connector is to be codified in asphalt, the Summit St ROW (on the east side of Rick's towing lot) would be better and serve more people (especially because of the walkway on BHA property between 11th +12th Sts, west of the the gas station and the Boys and Girls Club) if a connector was to be built.
