Buckled sidewalk. Over the weekend I sat with a friend on the bench in front of the library on Grant & Kirkwood for just a few minutes. In that amount of time, every second or third person walking by tripped on that sidewalk that is raised. There is very faded yellow paint but worn off now. Needs to be leveled. Someone will fall. A wheelchair could not go up.
There is a missing street sign at the intersection of Kirkwood and ? Possibly Grant St. There is an uneven sidewalk plank in front of the corner bench at that intersection. While sitting there during the festival we watched nearly every passerby trip on that elevated sidewalk edge.
City parcel on w Cottage Grove is overgrown and has been reported several times it's covering the sidewalk and it's the only sidewalk on the street that kids walking to school use. The weeds are also growing along the curb .
At 2nd Street and Euclid, there is a strip of sidewalk with no curb cut. This is next to the yellow house that is across from 919 W. 2nd Street. This curb does not allow for a resident of this neighborhood that is in a wheelchair to turn around at this location, or move through this section of sidewalk.
I have a section of sidewalk that is sinking. They marked it last year to be fixed but miss it. They are working in the neighborhood now so maybe they can fix it. It’s very slippery in the winter and people slip when it’s wet. Thanks
The walking path across Winslow to the north between two houses leading back to Caradon hill is completely over grown causing walkers to Childs elementary to have to duck and walk single file. The walkway goes all the way from the Winslow side street all the way to caradon hill road. Can this be cleaned up to ensure safe walking conditions to school and parks?
Some sidewalks in the St James neighborhood off Moores Pike have low hanging branches obstructing walkers. These branches are from the trees planted by the City between the roadway and the sidewalks. In the past, the City has cut low hanging branches on trees and removed them. Will the City provide this service again to our neighborhood? Thanks.
I’m following up on 204624, which I reported last week. I was happy to see that a railing had been installed with 48 hours of my filing the complaint, and I know my complaint had nothing to do with the railing getting installed. I’m asking that the city pay more attention to these uneven sidewalks and require property owners to mark them with paint, cones or, in the best case scenario, railings. The uneven sidewalks seem to be likely a violation of the ADA. There was a similar situation in front of Sweet Greens before they finally installed a railing, and there is still a similar situation in front of CVS on Kirkwood. Thank you.
Numerous city maintained sidewalks in town are very overgrown. This path is well used by pedestrians and will increase with school starting next week.
