Sometimes, I use to walk back home. I use 10th street to reach my home, but there is a short section of 10th street from around 3951 E to Meadow Park that does not have a sidewalk. It is really dangerous to walk in the road because it is not a straight rode and drivers cannot see you.
Uneven sidewalk in two places on this block (south side)
In FYI about water meter on Fess north of 4th Street. When I stepped on the concrete around the meter, it all levered up. I think the gap is visible in the photo. Utilities checked area on Fess N. of Second- found no problem with meter pits- did see an open hole in tree plot marked in white.Does not appear to be utility related.
Challenging brick sidewalk in front of Dats and Do on 4th street. Difficult for wheelchairs.
There is a significant residental population in this area, especially with the Meadow Park apartments. However, in the area specified in this request, there are no side walks, and only a tiny gravely shoulder for pedestrians and bicyclists to "safely" for lack of a better term, to travel westbound on 10th road. Could we look into building better bike paths and sidewalks on that stretch of road? The rest of 10th street has them, and N. Smith Road has bike paths that end just right where the problem area begins.
Missing bricks infront of KOK
The alley between 423 and 425 S grant st needs some attention. There are pot holes and many bad areas. We have repaved our lots already.
Some minor brickwork needed in front of Village Deli. Nothing urgent. No obstruction.
We recently moved to Bloomington and chose specifically to live within walking distance to our daughter's school, we're within a mile. Unfortunately, there's no viable route to her school b/c there are no sidewalks adjacent to University Elementary on 10th street. This is a significant issue for the surrounding community. We're new so I don't have all the numbers but there are at least 10 students at University in our neighborhood alone and based it's a safe assumption that the neighboring neighborhoods have a large number of students who are not currently provided with a safe alternative. For a city with a great walkable/bikable reputation I would expect this to be a high priority for our city. This is also a common route for cyclists (recreational and competitive) and seems like it would have already been addressed. Please advise.
Requesting a sidewalk connection between the Eastside neighborhoods on 10th and Smith to University Elementary sidewalk on corner of 10th and Russell Road. I see many people, including parents with young children, having to walk on the busy road or in side slopes/drainage ditches if they choose to walk to school. Thank you for considering and for all that you do.
