There is a dead animal in the street in front of 724 S Washington St. Requesting that the Sanitation Dept please remove it. Thank you.
Large branch came down in wind yesterday. We pulled it out of the street, and now it is on the Northwest corner of W 7th and Maple.
Upholstered furniture littering front yard
There are several large dead limbs in trees from 719-721 w 15th St.
Broken glass all over the sidewalk for months. No attempt to clean it up for people to walk safely in front of house.

During the big rain and subsequent flood of a few weeks ago, a great deal of large flotsam traveled down the stream that edges Switchyard park and got stuck against the bridge that goes under W Country Club Drive. There are large trees, pallets, large trash can and smaller debris jammed against the north side of the bridge causing a dam. The vehicle bridge is between the B-line trail and Burger King. One can see all this debris from the pedestrian bridge.
Huge pile of refuse on the north side of building with boxes, recycling, etc., strewn about all over and piled up making places for rodents to dig through and creating a fire hazard. Elevate says this is an IU property (?) so not sure what can be done, if anything. Originally a beautiful building, but it now looks Third World - current inhabitants are irresponsible, inconsiderate, and/or oblivious, whoever they are.
This eyesore was reported twice per cases #178134 & 178189 and this debris has yet to be removed at the dead end of S Basswood Drive toward 3rd St. The second time I reported it, I observed 2 city workers there for about an hour leaning on their pickup truck staring at the debris, but staring at it didn’t remove it. I noted that one person suggested contacting the apartment complex near this area to remove it, but that complex provides dumpsters for their residents to dispose of mattresses during the move out periods. This debris is on city property pure and simple. I guess my next step is to go to the Herald-Times and show them pictures of this eyesore. If those 2 workers would have spent their time removing it instead of resting their arms on the bed of their pickup, it would be gone.
