A basketball hoop was installed down the street from my residence. The court is the street. Not only has it caused a disturbance in my household due to incessant noise, but I’ve witnessed multiple cars now honk at the child while trying to get through. It is entirely unsafe and a hazard for the child and drivers. There are also parked cars where the hoop was installed. I have asked the two residences closest to the basketball hoop if they could remove it but they said it was owned and set up by a family that doesn’t even live on our street nor were they asked permission. They have also noted concerns. This is not only an issue with noise but is an issue with safety for many.
Parking is allowed on the east side of the road, which makes it impossible for two vehicles to pass since parking is also allowed on west side of road. Unsafe near collision observed this morning. Should change to only allow parking on one side.
Horrific parking that puts eastbound traffic into oncoming traffic at stop sign! Landlord didn’t supply proper parking in our residential neighborhood,again!

After work and school lets out (after 3:30pm) this intersection is impossible to turn left while heading north to go west. There are no good functions in this town for a west/east (and vice versa) so this should be looked at with this pending study. The on street parking on Madison is underused and limited and there should be an increased length of turn lane and signal length so the increasing number of folks at new and old developments can head west. Please address this and don’t make it even more impossible to navigate in this area when the study is to be implemented. Thanks!
Traffic is absolutely insane now in the mornings with IU students back and local schools in session. 17th street is backed up with insane amounts of people trying to head east. One cannot get through the light to turn onto Madison to head south. This area is a part of a study that needs help! Everyone who interacts with these conditions don’t have time to try and come out to a work session about bike lanes, we also need to get to and from work in a timely manner in our vehicles that are also carpool! How is this going to be fixed when more and more density continues to be built with lots of parking for increased vehicles on 17th street when the street facilities and light patterns are not adequate? The fact that there are two additional tiny intersections for the crowd to get to IU’s campus across the downtown college and walnut corridor is atrocious. Please work on this traffic in the morning!
Now that the speed limit on 11th Street has been reduced to 25, can we please lower the limit on Diamond Street to 20 or even 15? It’s a very short stretch of road, but for some reason people feel the need to gun it on the way between 11th Street and Trailview neighborhood. There’s really no good reason to drive faster than 15mph or so on this stretch and it endangers pedestrians going between 11th and the B-Line.
Airbnb trash cans still in the road blocking smooth flow of detour traffic from 5th St.
Work vehicles and heavy machinery was left parked right by my driveway making it unsafe to back out and possibly pull in. I almost ran into one of them backing out of my driveway this morning. They are parked directly behind where we pull out. I want them moved immediately please it is unsafe and dangerous and if I back into one with a vehicle, I’m going to be very very mad. They take up half the road. I wish I had a picture to give you, but I’m already gone from the house today.
