Two white males were observed using chalk to write ideological/hate graffiti on the sidewalk in from of Merrill Hall on the IU campus at around noon on Saturday July 13, 2013. The messages included obscene language and were directed at feminists, modernists, and homosexuals. Each message ended withe the URL TRADYOUTH.ORG. I was seated nearby as the vandalism took place and took two photographs as they were writing, but I can't upload the photos using this mobile site. After they left my husband and I used water to obliterate the obscene portions of the messages. Is someone can send me an email address I will forward rhe photos.
The bicycle/pedestrian tunnel under SR46 needs graffiti removal (again). Also, the concrete ramp for accessing this tunnel and apartment complex (east of tunnel) is too steep for bicycles and wheel chairs. Need to grind down curb on this new concrete ramp.
The graffiti on the west wall of the College Ave railroad trestle is OUT OF CONTROL. It must be painted over or removed ASAP. What happened to the policy of removing or painting over graffiti as soon as it is seen and reported? Our former mayor Tomi Allison instituted this policy and it works because the criminals know their defacement will be removed or painted over before it has it's intended gang communication or political statement effect. College Ave is a street which gives a first impression to visitors, IU parents and students and countless others. Railroad trestle walls (like the one on East 10th Street just past Union St. that I complained multiple times about) are prime targets for graffiti criminals (public and private defacement is against the law) and must be dealt with by the citizens and police being alert and reporting incidents of it.
