at the junction of the cul-de-sac curb and sidewalk there is a lot of street rubble (broken up road chunks), its unsafe and unsightly. Can it please be removed. Thanks
City Tree has lifted the sidewalk creating a tripping hazard.
At the northwest corner of the intersection of college and 6th, one of the walk signals is burnt out.
Hello, I am the facilities manager of Trinity Episcopal Church (111 s Grant Street). A while back our gas meter was moved by (then Vectren) in conjunction with the Culvert work that is ongoing by Milestone. They moved the meter from the back of our building where it was safe - to the corner where it is in a precarious position. In doing so they have compromised the sidewalk, causing the corner to crack and one of the metal plates to raise up forming a lip - which has been reported to me as being a tripping hazard. I've asked numerous times to have the area addressed (specifically the meter itself) and have been ignored by (now) Centerpoint. The sidewalk deterioration is just the latest part of the failure to sensibly relocate that meter in a safe manner. Does the Street department address this? And who can I talk to about the meter itself? It is exposed to Traffic traveling through the alley and will be damaged at some point by a large truck. If you folks could assist me in this - Trinity Episcopal Church sure would be grateful. Thanks for your time, Kevin Burdeshaw Facilities Manager
7th street is a nightmare for drivers and bicyclists alike. The new configuration with medians and curbs came at a very high cost financially, and personal and property safety. Bicyclists must cross traffic and can't be seen; motorists have ongoing (even those who know the streets) problems navigating the extended curbs and the narrow streets. This is an ongoing problem area.
Broken glass on sidewalks at 9th and Washington, 10th and Walnut, and alley between 11th and 12th St.
The sidewalk imprints about walking your scooters across the street are degrading, and are slippery. I was walking on Kirkwood, and the one on the corner in front of the Cafe Pizzeria (that corner) is where I slipped and hurt my right knee. I walk frequently there as I am a student at IU, and it's only slippery on top of the remneants of that imprint. Someone is going to get hurt or die even if they crack their skull!
2 issues: one is there are End Construction signs left at the entry to Winslow Farms Drive off of Winslow Road, Please remove these, construction ended a long time ago. 2. When will the orange barrels be removed from all the crosswalks on Winslow Road? Also these brick crosswalks are probably going to be driven over due to poor markings and will be causing accidents Thanks.
Metal stub from broken off signpost on west sidewalk (even side of street) is a major tripping hazard. It needs to come out, and until that happens it really needs a cone or something to make it visible to pedestrians.
