Whats up with the sidewalks on 21st ave west? with so much foot traffic,, including handicapped wheelchair bound people from the tri towers,,, they have to actually ride on the road because the sidewalks are pretty much impassible from 3rd and 21st down to superior st. Winter time- they pile all of the snow right on the sidewalk blocking all access to it,, forcing people and children to walk on the road,, right where everyone is entering and exiting Piedmont ave. Ive had to rescue a women stuck in the snow,, in a motor wheelchair,,, who was just in tears,,, she had been there for an hour,, no one helped her,, cars and trucks splashed her,, she was wet,, cold,, upset,,, and the sidewalk is impassible. the northeast sidewalk especially coming from third down to superior st. many walk under the freeway,,, kids going to the skate park,, older people to the salvation army and to Randy's coffee shop..

With winter on the way,, keeping access to 3rd from superior st along 21st ave needs to be a priority. kids walking to school,, seniors on poor sidewalks,, handicapped,, high traffic on and off Piedmont,, and the DTA connectors,,, snow stacking,,, and poor sidewalks,,, way bad.

How about on of those signs that read :MINNESOTA STATE LAW- stop for Pedestrians,, and the yellow lines in the crosswalks along Superior st/ /West End -Lincoln Park business districts. and then enforce the jaywalking laws,,,

Again the re-painting of a road that is in serious disrepair. The slip shod road repair, where the holes are not blown out,, the tack not used and just slap asphalt into the hole,, and then not even rolled so now there is even MORE bumps and rough traveling. The sidewalks need to be installed and pedestrian crossing pads for handicapped folks as well. This is a serious problem in this neighborhood.

*I would like to THANK the City of Duluth, and all of the folks involved in the repair of 21st ave west, for addressing this issue". It was done in a very timely manner and considering all of the traffic, both on foot, heavy carriers, intersecting DTA bus lines,, local town traffic, etc.It was done in a very unobtrusive way, it caused no significant inconvenience, to normal traffic or to what businesses that are left in the neighborhood. The road is a 1000% better now.everyone in the area has commented on how much better it is driving here in the west end. Ive seen an increase in traffic in the area in a positive way since this was conducted. almost immediately. People would seriously avoid the area mainly because of the road. It was terrible for a very long time. It has really left me thinking about the real economic impact roads make to a business districts. From what I have seen in this case- it is detrimental to the economic health of this neighborhood. And now as the road is fixed,, I am sure there will be less tear on the police vehicles and EMS vehicles as they continue to clean up the neighborhood. Great Job and truly truly appreciated. >>>*Many many Positive comments from everyone for getting this corridor fixed! >>Ill now remove this as remedied, corrected and improved. Thanks for getting this done.
