Gravel/stones on sidewalk. Dangerous for bicycles.
Gravel/stones on sidewalk. Dangerous for bicycles.
With all the rain yesterday, sand and gravel have spilled onto the multi-use path.
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.
Vehicle parking blocking part of the sidewalk.
Near 612 N Walnut Street, there is the remnant of a light pole sticking up from the sidewalk causing a tripping hazard.
Says he has trouble pushing his baby carriage over the bumpy sidewalk.
Raised side walk = trip hazard
Lack of curb from Smith Ave where it boarders my property is leading to water run off as it runs down Jackson St to collect on the back of my property. My husband and have put in a lot of time cleaning up this area from previous owner over-growth. The soft ground, combined with lack of curb is causing the property to erode away and cars to run off the edge of the road causing Smith to deteriorate. The area is strip about 30 ft long. If something could be done about this or to change how people turn right of Jackson onto Smith it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.
