Street Dept. is installing a handicap ramp in front of his property. He says that the property is not handicap accessible and that there shouldn't be a ramp there. Sidewalk crews told him that they are required to put in ramps per ADA.
I am requesting that a speed bump and a flashing speed indicator be installed in a location along W Woodlawn Ave, somewhere between S Weatherstone Ln and E Wilson St. The speed limit on S Woodlawn Ave is 25 MPH, but the average vehicle's speed in front of my approximate address is closer to 45 MPH, with many vehicles regularly reaching speeds over 60 MPH and even 80 MPH at least daily. The reason why the speed limit is 25 MPH on S Woodlawn Ave is because of its proximity to Indiana University foot and bike commuters, Bryan Park, the Bryan Park Pool, a bus stop, and Union Elementary School. In addition to these elements, S Woodlawn Ave is also hilly which contributes to dangers associated with limited lines of sight between vehicles and pedestrians. Being a thoroughfare between Hillside Ave and streets north of it, traffic naturally flows faster than 25 MPH especially with the only stop sign between 1st St and Hillside Ave being at Sheridan Ave. Drivers frequently “floor” their vehicles through S Woodlawn Ave, and the police speed enforcement seems to never pull anyone over for speeding. For the above reasons, the current traffic pattern on S Woodlawn Ave is incompatible with its intended use. Installing a speed bump and a flashing speed indicator (for both northbound and southbound traffic) will hopefully greatly reduce thoroughfare excessive speeds. I am worried that this is a formula for someone to get hurt and it is only a matter of time unless the City does something about this. Please at least conduct a traffic study. Thank you for receiving my note, and I will be following up on this.

A section of sidewalk was removed last fall and was never replaced.
There is a hole at the curb at the end our adjoining driveways, 1202 and 1208 E 1st. This has developed after the attempted temporary fix which was made after attempting to find the source of a water leak. This was made during the installation of Gigabit now. It is 17 inches deep and when covered with leaves, not visible. Please fix this to prevent damage to our cars.
The drain in the back corner of the dermatologist parking lot. The drain is missing 2 rungs. My wife fell when she accidentally stepped in the hole.
Clarizz Boulevard gate open despite local plan for site that requires it to be closed until mid April. Please take legal action.
