On December 3rd I was traveling on 2nd Street between Rogers and Walker when I got stuck in my wheelchair in front of the old hospital parking garage because the sidewalks were not cleared and the curb cuts were blocked by several inches of snow. When I tried to pass the curb cut I got stuck because none of the curb cuts along that stretch are flush with the ground like they should be. When another pedestrian tried to get me unstuck, I nearly got thrown back into traffic because the curb cuts are at an angle facing traffic. I ended up having to call the police. An officer ended up having to escort me in the street in order to get me where I needed to go because the sidewalks were completely impassible, both on 2nd Street and the side streets. There is absolutely no reason why any pedestrian, wheelchair user or not, should have to go in the street to get where they need to go. The owners of that land have a responsibility to clear the sidewalks when it snows, and maintain the curb cuts and sidewalks. The area is supposed to be redeveloped as part of Hopewell eventually, but it still has to be maintained in the meantime. Leaving it unaddressed is extremely dangerous. Someone is going to get hurt.

There is a white car parked here that was towed in. It does not run and has a flat tire. The wrecker backed it in. It needs to be moved as I'm disabled and my home health people can't park there. Because of this I have to walk thru snow to get to a vehicle. Please move it.

The trash and recycling bins at this location are frequently left out for days after trash pickup. They usually block the sidewalk and impede pedestrians and cause a lack of accessibility for any wheelchair users.

I strongly second this Ureport: #207017 " .. Bricks are slipperier than concrete when wet ". This is a well known problem, along with brick walks being more expensive to maintain, and prone to problems. If this news report is correct, https://bsquarebulletin.com/brick-fix-okd-for-kirkwood-avenue-at-491k-cost/, Adam Wason says city is now not planning to replace slippery, unsafe brick sidewalk because "it looks iconic". Please reconsider this opinion, that looks triumph over safety. I do not have walking problems, but I have often slipped on the brick sidewalks in nearby IU area that are often wet, slick, iced and uneven when concrete walks are fine.

Downtown Bloomington transit station bathroom does not have ADA compliant toilet paper dispenser. It's too far away from toilet. And accessible entrance automatic doors on outside of the building are not working.

Cafe Thistle has a flag that is blocking the sidewalk. It would be disorienting for a blind person to run into.

While I am happy that a path was made, the plate in the middle of the sidewalk creates both a trip hazard and an impediment to anyone using a wheelchair or other mobility aid

Had to ramp up and down each floor of the garage up to 5th due to festival, game, etc overloading area with vehicles. No elevator in service for months. When will this be fixed? That is unacceptable for lack of accessibility in the Morton garage.

The post office on S. Walnut St. has no disabled accessible sidewalk or way to get into the building from the sidewalk on Walnut Street. You have to walk in the road in the parking lot to get to the door of the post office because there’s no sidewalk connecting the sidewalk on Walnut Street to the front door of the building. I got run into buy a car backing out of a parking spot today and I’m a blind person using a white cane for mobility.
