Can the City review this section of sidewalk at College Ave and Kirkwood, right out front of The Tap? It may be out of compliance with the City ordinances that require a minimum 5-feet of width for sidewalks. This portion of sidewalk has felt narrow and congested for years. Today, I was walking through and with other foot traffic got pushed to the side where that limestone corner cap sticks out beyond the base of the planter and hit my leg on it. The railing from the Tap combined with that planter creates a significant hazard for pedestrians and restricts the flow of foot traffic. The sidewalk narrows right there. This could be fixed by removing the planter.

The traffic light pole here takes up half the sidewalk, leaving very little room for pedestrians to get around. Probably impossible for someone with a mobility aid to pass (e.g. wheelchair, walker). Seems like a major ADA issue. Even as someone with fine mobility, I barely had room to get by while staying on the sidewalk.

Turning right from 17th St onto Madison St is a nightmare. You're either going to hit the car that's in the lefthand turn lane on Madison St, or you're running over the decently large curb. The only cars that can safely navigate this are small cars. If you're a truck, SUV, or, God forbid, a city bus, you're in trouble. Cars don't turn at 90 degree angles. The radius of that curb is entirely too small.

I tripped over a broken sidewalk and fell. I needed to go to the IU Health Bloomington hospital ER for x-rays and abrasions treatment. The sidewalk needs to be repaired promptly to prevent pedestrians from having falls like this.

Previous ticket was marked as completed, but I see no improvement to the encroachment of grass and debris onto the sidewalk, making it too narrow for wheelchair

Many tree roots in this area, raising the bike path like speed bumps. Noticed they are growing and are becoming quite a nuisance for wheelchair especially. They are also quite hard to see in certain lighting conditions. There is also another large raised root across from Rev Butler Park path entrance off bike path.

Pervasive issue with uneven brick/cement/asphalt at the stylized curbs on the bike path. Asphalt is uneven with the angled cement curb pieces, which are uneven with the bricks. Missing bricks at other locations. These uneven angled triangle cement parts have damaged parts of my wheelchair several times. I am making the report at the Rogers St coordinates, but the issue extends across most road crossings between North Adams all the way to Kroger. North Adams, Fairview, and Rogers are by far the worst ones, but most need addressed. If you want me to take pictures and send individual reports for every crossing on the bike path, I can do that.

Thank you for grinding down the curb entrances to these sidewalks. Unfortunately they are still not accessible, the north side curb is still too uneven between the street and the sidewalk. The south side curb/sidewalk is angled in a sketchy way that sends the momentum of the wheelchair straight into the main road and it's hard to correct and stay out of the road.

Would appreciate an update on the repair of this section of sidewalk and road crossing. Inaccessible for wheelchairs to the point that I need to ride on the road in my wheelchair to avoid the sidewalk crossing.
