Beschreibung
The new sidewalks in Gore street are already very narrow. But a few of the residents on these houses are leaving potted plants blocking the sidewalk. This makes it very challenging for citizens with limited mobility to walk safely. Please have these pots removed from the public sidewalk.

The Gore street project isn’t completed.
In the picture I have provided the walkway to the left is now ADA compliant. Anyone with mobility issues should go that way.
The walkway mentioned by the complaint, a person cannot stand with two feet side by side without going into the tree well. So no way can a wheel chair fit or a stroller get by, etc.
When I walk by that intersection I opt to take the wider walkway just to the left of it.
When the project expanded the tree wells they made the landing outside of 75 narrower. It’s about a foot deep. One neighbor has already fallen in another tree well and got a hairline fracture on her foot. My neighbors are presently trying to discourage people from walking by that narrow path in front of their houses so no one gets hurt. They are being proactive and out of concern for others they came up with that temporary solution.
We already have contacted the Gore Street project managers about this in hopes they will expand that landing.
For your safety opt to walk the wider ADA pathway.

Thank you for reporting this issue to us. We neglected to close it at the time. The obstructions appear to have been removed. Any obstruction that creates a sidewalk width that does not meet ADA standards can be reported here as a Botanical Obstruction.
