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

I am writing to follow up on my concerns regarding the ongoing construction of the new house across from 1422 North Hopewell Street. As you know, North Hopewell Street is quite narrow and a dead end. For the past year, construction workers have frequently blocked the road, making it difficult for residents to enter or leave. The street is only wide enough for one vehicle, yet construction personnel routinely park directly in the middle of the road or park vehicles on both sides. This has even caused issues for the trash collection services. This has become a daily problem, often causing delays that have made me late for work as I have to wait for vehicles to be moved. Unfortunately, it seems that there is often a lack of consideration or urgency in resolving these obstructions. Furthermore, the property has already hosted several gatherings with insufficient parking, which has further increased the congestion on the street. Thank you for your time and attention to this persistent issue.

alley off of Curry Pike before W 3rd that goes into Highland Village: The rental store often blocks the alley with their van almost daily. Also, the laundry mat blocks the alley with cars and uses the whole alley with about 5 people sorting clothes on a weekly basis.

I'm sure that 90% of what you recieve are complaints. In this regard instead of complaining, I have an idea for a more efficient and less dangerous form of traffic onto 3rd street from S. Muller Parkway, heading West. People turn through the 3rd St. turning lane risking danger and a ticket and also any dangerous U-Turns in the middle of the Intersection of 3rd St. and S. Cory Lane. I have to deal with this pressure when needing to turn west onto 3rd St. almost every day because I worked down 3rd St. west and I live off of S. Basswood Drive. One time I got pulled over by a sheriff for going through the 3rd St. turning lane and recieved a warning, luckily. Now, the cross-section of 3rd St. and S. Muller Parkway only allows traffic to go From 3rd St. on to S. Muller Parkway. I know that is because the road to S. Muller Parkway crosses with the road to 3rd St. west which would obviously cause collisions. According to the Google earth map, the distance is 720 Ft. to the Intersection of 3rd and S. Cory Lane From S. Muller Parkway. I have a proposal to avoid crossing the turning lane and dangerous U-Turns in the intersection for heading west on 3rd St. (Also saves gas and driving distance of course.) I created a plan in the diagram Image from the street map I aquired that I uploaded to show you for an example of the proposal. This Google map is very outdated, but it gives you a good prospective of the idea. All of this should work. There is enough space where the very wide curb(street gap) resides inbetween street directions for the proposed turn-offs, as there is for the turn-off heading west on 3rd St. Turn-off Option 1 only 172 Ft. down 3rd St. East: Reduce 3rd St. West Turning lane by half and add a turning lane on 3rd St. East wilst dividing the width of each lane Equally. After reducing the curb size, a thinner middle curb remains dividing them still. The turning lane off of 3rd St. west is relatively long as you'll see. Longer than necessary for a small neighborhood road, so I figure option 1 is feasible. Turn-off Option 2 Only 265 Ft.(maybe give or take 30 Ft.) down 3rd St. East connecting to the Gas Station. People can choose to turn into the gas station and out or make a u-turn. Thank you very much, Eliot P.S. It was fun putting this together to present to you. Oh btw, as a side note, it would be great if you expanded the Report Details Description dialog boxes in the form scripts, because I can't see what I write. Instead I wrote everything out in notepad, copied and pasted.
