Buckling, cracked sidewalks and curbs
Crumbling curbs and sidewalk buckling, unsafe conditions
crumbling, cracked and dangerous curbs and sidewalks on 1200 block of East Wylie St.
Damaged post on NW side of Kirkwood at Washington
large sidewalk gap on Arlington just north of the new roundabout, on the west side, it seems incomplete, or maybe they are going to finish it soon?
The photograph of this hole was taken Sept. 27, 2019. The same hole can be found in case #161692 from Oct. 27, 2017. Danna Workman reported that the hole had been repaired, but I can assure you it was not. It is located between 1217 and 1221 N Madison (closer to 1217, and so large as to be observable from satellite photos and Google Street View). Even though I knew it was there, in the dark the other night, I nearly turned an ankle in it. The whole sidewalk along the west side of N. Madison between 16th and 17th is in a terrible state of disrepair and has been the entire time I've lived in this neighborhood. I know that landowners are supposed to maintain the sidewalks, but I also know that it's the city's duty to enforce that rule. What I don't know is why Danna Workman reported that the hole was repaired when it wasn't. In any event, the sidewalk is still a hazard. What are you going to do about it?
I recently saw a map of sidewalks that showed the westside of Madison between 16th and 17th was in "fair" condition (https://bloomington.in.gov/transportation/sidewalks/repair-assistance/map.pdf). This stretch of sidewalk is narrow and broken and one of the worst well-traveled pedestrian areas in town. The east side of the street, labeled poor on the map, isn't nearly as bad. At the very least, I'd like the map corrected so there is an accurate recored. But, what I'd really like done is that this block is fixed. It is heavily traversed and will likely see more traffic once the bus routes change. Thank you.
Individuals in a wheelchair are forced to travel in the street due to know curb ramps in the neighborhood.
There are three curbs that I think should be painted yellow so cyclists (and cars) don't run over them: 1) 108 W 4th St. in front of WFHB station there is a very low curb that is easy to miss as a cyclist 2) 200 E 4th St there are two brand new curbs / bump outs for the Fifth-Third bank parking entrance. I'm glad they are there but if they were yellow they'd be easier to see, especially at night. Thank you, Jaclyn
Two bricks are missing from the decorative sidewalk in front of the Waldron's Walnut St entrance. Can they be replaced? Concerned about a trip hazard.
