The ADA requires that sidewalks be firm, stable and slip-resistant. Numerous bricks that make up the downtown sidewalk are loose or missing. I saw an older woman trip on one of these in front of Fountain Square this week. I helped her up and when her husband took her to the ER because she may have broken her ankle. When it’s wet, these sidewalks are slippery than concrete sidewalks. They look nice but they are hazardous. At the least, the city needs to do a better job of maintaining them. Thank you.
Two potholes in west lane going around the corner
Very northwest corner of property at junction of Polly Grimshaw trail and Pete Ellis dr. Abandoned homeless camp with shopping carts and litter extending to public trail.
There are creepy handwritten signs on Kirkwood today (Mon morning). There is one directly across from Uptown on a trash can, another further towards campus, and the 3rd one on my route is on the pizzaria corner. They are threatening in tone; they say people in the city should leave town as it's "the time of vengence." The Pizzaria one says to be alert because enemies are waiting to devour us like lions. Upsetting.
I would like some help to identify the electrical wire at the gates of Blue Ridge entrance. The soil is eroding and showing bare wire which I believe is part of the wiring for the lights at the top of the bricks.
Street lamp has not worked for the last several weeks. It used to turn on in PM and off in AM now it is off at all times. Thanks
Customer reported that parking meter 5THE108-B was not accepting more than 1 hour of payment as of appr. 4pm on 8/24 - i.e. "up arrow" did not work.
This morning, a bus was dropping off children at the Buskirk-Chumley for a student matinee. The bus swung out too hard and ended up hitting and denting the parking meter on Kirkwood closest to the corner of Kirkwood and Washington on the block that has the Buskirk-Chumley Theater.
Looks much nicer and like the new layout
