As the owner of Crazy Horse Tavern, I’ve been volunteering for downtown issues for over 25 years. One of my personal goals is to grow the tourism throughout the city for building a stronger economy.
But I’m now tackling a problem related to the substantial growth in tourism. It initially seemed reasonable to allow tour busses to park on city street in front of hotels, but there a too many days where half of the available parking on the block is taken by busses. Some days,like today, it’s 100% bus parking g without a single parking space available for a visiting family or business guest in the hotel or even a customer for a downtown shop.
This isn’t normal parking management. It’s not good parking management.
The busses should be parked in a large lot like the convention center or Assembly Hall (IU groups)
I have helped manage a lot of downtown growth issues and this one looks to be easily fixable.
Thanks for any help

Someone has spray painted an obscene word in big bright red letters on the wall at David St. and Sare Rd. This word has been on the wall for a couple of weeks and now the neighborhood children are referencing it.

Thanks for your gracious response last year when I inquired about this problem. You told me to contact you if it persisted, and it has. The entire street drains from hilltops at the north & south ends of Blue Ridge Court, and accumulates mud and run-off debris right at the same spot on the sidewalk (as you saw last year. The trench did not work, and the mud accumulation is worse. Anything you can do? ~ Curtis Shedlak 812-345-2880

There's a syringe on the new wall along Rockport Road at Ralston/Rockport. I'm not excited about removing this. Can you help? Thank you.

There is a big piece of steel rebar sticking out of the sidewalk near the eastern entrance to 2427 E 2nd Street. It's become a safety issue for cars and pedestrian as many kids walk through there to get to the elementary school. Unsure if since it's an IU office if it's IU property? Thank you for investigating and potentially resolving.

On the corner of Henderson and Winslow
There are these rusted posts sticking up.
Looks like a good safety hazard waiting for somebody to impale themselves on.
Plus no handrail for somebody who needs one.

3rd Street, between Washington and Lincoln Streets, the sidewalks bordering the City Public Lot next to the police station. The sidewalk is raised above a 1/2" (ADA says less) making it hard for a manual wheelchair to get over it. Must go around the block or out into the street. Can it be smoothed down or asphalt added to make it beveled?

Sidewalk degradation makes it difficult to get a wheelchair over this. It's on the north side of the sidewalk in the police lot behind the police station.

When making a right turn into Winslow Sports Complex from South Highland Avenue, there is a large fir tree right on the corner. This tree blocks any view of pedestrians or bikers on the sidewalk directly behind the tree. This is a problem mainly for turning right rather than turning left into the area. I have personally had several incidents where we are turning into the area from the road and have had to stop unexpectedly to allow pedestrians to walk by. Although there is a small "caution" sign post there, it seems inadequate and unsafe regardless. My proposal is to cut down this large fir tree in order to create a safer environment for both drivers and pedestrians at this well-frequented corner.

The pavement on the south side of 6th Street between Washington and Lincoln Streets, in front of the Monroe County History Museum is impassable for someone in a manual wheelchair. Degradation is pretty severe.
