Problems with taking the public transit to public govt. offices, such as local housing authorities (issuing Sec 8 HCV vouchers, Public housing subsidies, etc.), Bloomington Township Trustee's office (off W. 17th St.), Trustee Kim Alexander, for receiving fundamental necessities of life.
A travel trailer has been camped on this residential street for more than a year creating traffic congestion. It is now worse due to the construction hauling trailer parked across the street and about two car lengths west. I just reported it as well.
New tenants are parking in the alley.
New renters moved in and have parked one of their 5 vehicles, for a 4 bedroom house, on the street directly behind a drive way, essentially taking up half the road.
I realize the city does not care or maintain E Canada Drive, however it is unsafe to have vehicles parked so close to the stop sign at this intersection. There are no marking on the road or curd to tell drivers they cannot park there, so they park there daily. Something needs to be done to prevent any accidents at this intersection for drivers who are unable to see around parked vehicles.
Car is parked facing against the flow of traffic, in a no-parking zone, forcing drivers to be unable to park in the right area outside of their residence and causing safety issues with the flow of traffic down Woodlawn Avenue. Car has been parked for multiple hours and has not been removed. It is blocking the street from being used properly. I have not been able to park since I left this morning and when I left this morning I almost got hit by a car trying to squeeze into my car as well as having people almost get in accidents over this.

Cars parked in the early morning on both sides and block the road. Dangerous in the dark morning fog or when it is raining as you visibility is limited and you can barely squeeze your vehicle through the road due to the illegal parking.
The North/South alley between 810 W. 7th and 804 W. 7th is being encroached upon by gardens, woodpiles, trees/vegetation and possibly the fence and cinder block garage owned by 810 W 7th St. As a result, the alley traffic is being diverted outside of the alley right of way and onto the private property located at 804 W. 7th. This appears to have been going on for a number of years. As the new owner of 804 W. 7th St., it is my full intention to re-claim the property/property line currently being encroached upon and proceed with renovations. I request that the Street Dept contact the owner of 810 W. 7th and order the encroachments be removed. With the assistance of a surveyor, I have located the NW and SW corner pins delineating the right of way and pounded new T posts just outside of the right of way in those spots and plan to post the entire property line once the encroachments are removed. Were I to reclaim the property line today, the alley would become impassible due to said encroachments. I request your assistance in remedying this situation in a civil and legal manner, as requests to the homeowner of 810 W.7th have fallen upon deaf ears. I request that you keep me in the loop regarding this issue. I would be happy to meet with a representative of the street dept, with survey in hand, to assist in clarifying and remedying this issue, as renovations of 804 W. 7th will begin in a few weeks. Thank you for your attention in this manner, Sincerely, Rick Laux Goldfinch Properties LLC Van Zile LLC 812/606-8332 vanzilellc@hotmail.com
