Phone call reported handicap ramp on building 600, 2500 S. Rockport Road, being inaccessible. Said landlord is not fixing it appropriately.
The parking along Strong Drive is out of control. Coming out of Catalent’s parking lot you can not see what is coming due to the cars parked along the right side of the road. The stop sign at the end of the road there is always a car right in front of that making it impossible for cars to be in the correct lane to turn right. If there is cars parked on one side and semis on the other the road becomes a one lane and if there is three semis on one side and cars on the other the oncoming cars are not visible.
Multi - use path is below concrete curb, not accessible like all other corners at intersection.
No sidewalk available when turning left onto 10th Street off of N. Smith Road. I often come close to getting hit by cars when walking a short-section on this part of 10th Street that has no sidewalk on either side. As a disabled person, I find this even more frustrating. Please consider installing sidewalk on the South-side of 10th Street on this section (on the back-side of the self storage facility on N. Smith Road, that may vbe seen from 10th Street). Thank you.
Responded... Hi Nick. First of all, thanks for submitting this uReport. The more folks that say something about it, the better. Second, I know this person and his mother is actually the chair of the Council for Community Accessibility. While neither have directly complained about this issue it has been on our radar as other people have seen him try to navigate that stretch of Smith Road. So I went out and did a full survey from 3rd to 10th Streets and reported every issue along that route. Then I participated in a discussion about it with the Engineering and Planning. It's not so easy to address this one because it's very narrow and can't be widened. It would also be fairly costly to do the whole route. But we have placed it on the sidewalk priority list that was submitted to Planning departments for their next round of sidewalk construction. We won't know how that very limited budget gets spent for a while, but sure hope it includes addressing this one. So that's where we stand on it. Fingers are crossed! It's folks like you who call this out that might make it happen sooner versus later. So thank you! Michael (staff liaison to the Council for Community Accessibility)
Pieces of adjacent retaining wall have fallen to the sidewalk, making it impossible for people who use wheelchairs to pass. It’s been this way for weeks. Thanks.
A large block of stone from a nearby wall is obstructing the sidewalk
There’s still snow on 3rd between Walnut and College, on the south side of the street adjacent to the county building used for early voting. And there’s still snow on either side of the overpass on 3rd leading to the B-Line trail. It hasn’t snowed in almost two weeks. Why build a trail for pedestrians if you don’t make it easy to get to the trail? Please do better in the next snowstorm.
On the south side of the overpass on Third Street, near the convention center, there is a hole with a broken grate on it. It’s a tripping hazard. There are two more holes in the street at Third and College, near the south east corner. More tripping hazards. Thanks.
