Tree has fallen and is across the Polly Grimshaw Trail. This is just to the east of Pete Ellis Drive. Needs a crew with equipment to get in there and clear the trail. Thanks,
My friend, who uses a wheelchair for mobility, and I went to the Office Lounge on Saturday night. While the building is accessible the bathrooms are not. The door was not wide enough for him to enter and he has a small manual chair. A larger motorized wheelchair would not fit either. The manager apologized and offered to clear the women's bathroom, but he had already looked at the door and determined it was not wide enough either. Besides that, I don't think offering another genders bathroom would count as accessibility? I know the OL has been around a long time and I assume there is some grandfathering of pre-accessibility guidelines, but at some point don't they have to come "up to code"? Is that only if they do renovations? How long can they remain un-accessible? I hope there is someone who can address this issue because we would like to be able to visit the OL again, but will not if he can't use the restroom while there. Thank you for your help!
I have observed that a couple of the interpretative signs around City Hall are too high. Most of the signs along the B-Line are about 34" high. But two of them, one next to the Hopewell jar fountain and the other on the B-Line across from the Bloomington Banquet sculpture, are 45" and 43" high respectively. Small children and people in wheelchairs would not be able to read these signs. Those two signs, unlike many of the others, are not mounted in a footer. So it would probably be easy to cut a portion of the pole off and lower them so they are more accessible. I am sure both of these signs are out of compliance with the ADA. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
The bird and limes must be managed better. This photo came via FB to me today. I can also say while driving through campus one day I counted 7, seven, such incidents where scooters blocked accessibility. I'd also like to report I had 2, TWO, near misses as scooters riders failed to yeld or even slow down and look as they crossed and intersection. Please stop this nonsense!

Lime scooters on the ground blocking the sidewalk on Hunter Ave. near S. Fess Ave. Fairly certain this is a violation of the ADA.
Please start having homeowners have to fix sidewalks. It's part of owning property. And that obligation has been neglected in many older areas. City needs to notify and provide guidance. Thank you.
Sidewalk at the corner of 7th and Dunn. I am not in a wheelchair but was pushing a stroller. It was nearly impossible for me so I can't even imagine the difficult a wheelchair would have maneuvering this sidewalk. Much of the surrounding sidewalk is fairly damaged as well but this was the most severe.
Terrific on the new low income sidewalk program. But residents other than property owners use them too. Please have any owner, low income or not, fix the red poor condition sidewalks. Plus there are low income families in other zones so unfortunate that they can't participate. Wouldn't it make more sense to prioritize the worst and busiest sidewalks and fix them systematically instead of by piecemeal application? An amazing sidewalk system that is kept as nice as you all do the roads would be great. Thank you for continuing your work on multiple good transportation options.
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.
