UNEVEN SIDE WALK, CLIENT FELL AND CRACKED OPEN HER HEAD
Just wanted to circle back re this sidewalk issue. The report above indicates that the issue is resolved but no repair has been made. I have attempted to make it less of a trip hazard by packing it with old towels. I appreciate your attention to this matter. Thanks Laura Chappell 812-325-2310
Just something to check out: sidewalk surrounding sewer grate is crumbling. Could eventually become dangerous. Not sure of the support structure but thought it should be reported.
Sidewalk missing whole bricks in the 400 and 500 blocks of E Kirkwood on the south side at least. in front of Kilroy's and Raising Canes, I think it is. Busy weekends coming up. Immediate repair and review of all the sidewalks on Kirkwood needed.
Retaining wall on NW corner of 10th/Grant is collapsing (on-going problem), and one of the large stones is now lying on the sidewalk.
Catherine Pierce (goes by Cathy) called in to complain about her neighbors parking in front of her ADA accessible ramp that is in front of her home (on the Fairview Side). The neighboring area has the Rock Climbing facility and they are often blocking her ramp and she cannot get out. She would like to talk to someone about this curb section being painted so that they cannot park there. 812-822-3023 - Home 812-325-7125 - Cell
The pavement in front of our driveway seems to be sinking, which has now resulted in a large height difference between the asphalt and the concrete gutter/curb. Would it be possible to repair the sinking asphalt?
A constituent called in today and asked that we revisit the sidewalk work that was done at 11th and Lindberg. He stated that this sidewalk was not repaired to be accessible per ADA standards. He has seen multiple wheelchair bound residents struggle crossing here.
sidewalk very grungy because garage bags dragged across walk to alley dumpster. Business needs to scrub clean. also large uneven crack in sidewalk...dangerous tripping.
The City has run an over-sized pruner along the sidewalk of our backyard, tearing up the ground and my flowers next to the sidewalk (depicted by the yellow circle in the picture). A piece of fence picket (blue arrow) of our neighbor's 2 houses away was torn down and thrown behind our fence. Our next door neighbor's hostas plants were also damaged. I don't know how the City can revive our plants, but the muddy sidewalk and the hanging clippings need to be cleaned up. We have been keeping our section of the sidewalk clear and clean. We appreciate the City trying to clear the entire length of the sidewalk, however an appropriate machinery needs to be used so as not to do more damage than good. The crew had done a very poor job in this case. I hope no heavy pruning machine will be used on the sidewalk in the future, especially after the City had just repaired these cracked sidewalk.
