Sidewalk & Curb Complaints
208 1/2 N Walnut ST

I run the shop at 208 N Walnut. I see 90% of people walk into oncoming traffic because they can’t see the pathway blocked by the water barrier.

When making a right turn into Winslow Sports Complex from South Highland Avenue, there is a large fir tree right on the corner. This tree blocks any view of pedestrians or bikers on the sidewalk directly behind the tree. This is a problem mainly for turning right rather than turning left into the area. I have personally had several incidents where we are turning into the area from the road and have had to stop unexpectedly to allow pedestrians to walk by. Although there is a small "caution" sign post there, it seems inadequate and unsafe regardless. My proposal is to cut down this large fir tree in order to create a safer environment for both drivers and pedestrians at this well-frequented corner.
Broken panel on the sidewalk in front of location.
What's left of this bike has been chained up here since this summer. It may need to be removed. Sorry for the poor quality photo.
Sidewalks alongside both sides of the Bypass have large rocks that have fallen onto the sidewalk. Difficult to bike through.
multiple areas of sidewalk heaving on 4th St side of Vectren. 2 are attached in photos. Since this is a heavily walked area, and you had already shaved multiple spots, I thought it needed attention
The yellow paint on the curb on either side of the alley that runs between 205 and 209 East Wylie Street has worn off and needs to be repainted. Cars are parking right at the edge of the alley, sometimes partially blocking it.
Sidewalk is nothing but ice. I just about fell.
The current height/grade of the curb/sidewalk causes the bottom of vehicles to scrape the sidewalk. You can see the scrape marks in the included photo.
There are two signs that were blocking the sidewalk all summer saying that the sidewalk ahead was closed for construction. They never served any useful purpose and the construction has been done for weeks. Someone moved them onto the grass, but they should be taken away because you can still bump your head on them.
