Overgrown sidewalk
Apartment building (Hyatt Place) construction on S. 4th Street between College and Madison has been frequently blocking traffic or limiting it to one lane near the B-Line for the past 8-12 months. There is rarely anybody directing traffic (and if there is, it is usually a construction worker who only sometimes has a handheld stop sign). Construction vehicles often dart out into the street during high traffic times (morning and evening work rushes) and block entrance to nearby apartment buildings. Furthermore, lack of barricades or proper containment causes debris, shrapnel, and other detritus to spill into the street from construction vehicles and dumpsters, often causing hazardous conditions for drivers and vehicles. My own vehicle was recently damaged by stray debris (which was impossible to avoid) and may even be totaled as a result. This also creates dangerous conditions for pedestrians on the sidewalks and makes it impossible for pedestrians on the B-Line to see oncoming traffic before crossing 4th street.
Alley is significantly eroded, making passage impossible. Vehicles cannot pass because one side is at least 6 inches lower than the other. For me, this means I cannot use my garage because the access is on the alley (715 West 13thStreet). The impassable part of the alley is north of 12th Street running parallel toFairview and Maple, which it lies between.
Constituent (Phil Eskew, 812-327-5360) called to complain of overgrowth along the Polly Grimshaw Trail, near Eastgate Lane. I confirmed the problem with a site visit. Can crews be sent to cut back overgrowth?
The stop sign at Gourley Pike and North Monroe Street is completely covered by branches and leaves. Please respond ASAP, citizen is very adamant about this issue.
