Sidewalk has lifted due to tree roots
Sidewalk has lifted due to tree roots
Citizen is manager of Jiffy Treet. Says sidewalk in front of business is very bad and several older people have almost tripped. Did not realize property owner is responsible....he rents from Claire Young, 812-597-5711. JA told him we'd have Street check it out (Tom Goldman).
Mr. Madsen called to express his concern about the efficiency of tax money on the sidewalk sweeper the City just purchased. He believes the City merchants should sweep their own sidewalks, and in the winter should shovel their own walks to better promote people to use the dowtown area. This was just a general complaint to voice his concern.

I just took possession of a home I bought as sidewalk construction on E. Morningside was being completed. The home is at 4021 E. Morningside. It is my understanding the City redid part of the driveway after having to destroy it for sidewalk work. Unfortunately it appears a corner of the drive (front right / SE) is already cracking/chipping/spalling (see photo). I'm requesting the City patch this up before it continues to flake (not huge now but would like addressed so as not to spread) as an area driven over frequently. Otherwise looks fantastic and very happy with the new sidewalk and drive portion. Great neighborhood addition.
Sidewalk on Maple from 5th to 6th was recently replaced. While it needed to be replaced, this was a historic sidewalk as are many on the west side. Policy should be developed to preserve historic sidewalks in original condition when repairing/replacing.
There are two dead crab apple trees located in between the sidewalk and street. Located on the south side of Allendale Drive between Kingsbury Court and Bainbridge Drive. Would make an excellent location for street tree planting once the dead trees are removed.
This sidewalk has been broken for FOR OVER 2 YEARS! And it has been reported before. It's been broken for so long you can see the damage on the satellite image you're using lmao. Pretty bad. Not just is the corner broken up into large chunks but going down the sidewalk east on 17th, the sidewalk has been worn down for years as well with no repair. One is walking on sharp pebbles instead of smooth sidewalk. Not sure what it takes for you all to actually give a shit and do something about it. But, y'know, it would be pretty cool if you did.
sidewalk torn up in the 300 block, in front of Taco Bell (think by gas company) and was never repaired. Has been out for awhile and is a hazard to pedestrians (Carol I also think they did not repair the sidewalk next to Alice's house on Morton and 10th. You may want to address both of these walks with them)
After traffic calming device was installed at the corner of 3rd and Rogers, sidewalk had to be realigned. Realigning meant tree had to be dug up and the lawn in this area was never fixed. See letter
