The sidewalk just north of the YMCA sign on South Highland Ave is slick with mud. Erosion from an adjacent hillside and mud/leaves from the gutter keep the sidewalk muddy. I shoveled mud off off it for an hour earlier this week, but it needs more work. Cleaning the gutter would be a big help. Thanks!
at 933 S. Fenbrook Court, a section of sidewalk has dropped 2 3/4 inches - another place has dropped 3/4 inches
I am a pedestrian who commutes to work about 1.3 miles northbound on Wooodlawn Monday-Friday. Usually I scurry quickly up that street as I'm running late; sometimes I jog. But once I get to the part of Woodlawn that borders Bryan Park, I am loathe to get myself onto the park trail during my hasty commute for a few reasons: 1. The Bryan Park trail is a park trail, not a sidewalk. 2. This trail doesn't go straight northward, so it is a waste of my time to follow it. 3. My commute is at 7:15am when few people are out, making things unnecessarily scary for trail users when I'm quickly approaching them from behind. This is especially true during colder months when it is dark out, and also when I'm carrying my umbrella, which looks not unlike some sort of a weapon. (Its just an Ikea umbrella.) This morning I was yelled at for the second time by another motorist who was displeased with my choosing to walk on Woodlawn Avenue northbound past Bryan Park. "There's a sidewalk over there!" he shouted. I had wanted to correct him and point out that its a park trail, but I didn't. Who knows which maniac who shouts at pedestrians from their car isn't more dangerous, you know? It would be great if there were a sidewalk that ran alongside Woodlawn Avenue past Bryan Park. I'm not the only person who chooses to walk up the road instead of the park trail, but I admit that there are not many of us, at least at 7:15am. Let me end by saying that I am not holding out hope for a sidewalk; this probably isn't a great concern for the city. But I can't guarantee that annoyed motorists will convince me to change my path, either. In any case: thank you for reading and considering my request. Have a nice day. Nicholas Roberts
The sidewalk in front of our house has many cracks. Some of the places it is cracked are raised up a few inches which can cause tripping. In addition, we have pipes that run under our sidewalk and out to the street to connect to the main sewer. The clay pipe that runs under the sidewalk has roots growing into it. In order to replace the pipe we need to take out the sidewalk. We are hoping that since the sidewalk needs replacing anyway, the city could let us know when the sidewalk will be torn up and replaced so we can have our plumber ready to replace the pipe while the sidewalk is up. Thank you for staying in communication with us about when the sidewalk will be replaced with a safer one.
Section of sidewalk is missing. Turns into a large mud puddle after rain
There is a segment of the sidewalk that is completely missing. When it rains, it turns into a large puddle that is difficult to step over.
We have a sidewalk already, but I have a question about modifying it. We are considering having some drainage work done on our property and would like a drain/grate through the sidewalk to help with water draining. We've seen some in the sidewalks along Blair Ave. and were curious about how to have one installed. If this is not under your area, would you please pass along this email to the appropriate person or committee. Thank you for your time!
Sidewalk repair desperately needed. Water accumulates in a small lake on what once was a sidewalk.
