Does the fountain as City Hall Plaza ever flow? I took those photos Monday evening. The drinking fountain that I reported last month hasn't been fixed yet. Related?

The grass/vegetation on the city right-of-way between Franklin Road and 3rd Street is sorely in need of mowing/cut back.

I’m wondering when the city is going to smooth something about the illegal camping inside, outside, and all around RCA park and in the woods north of Cherokee Dr. There is a continuous line of homeless, all day and night, with luggage, carts, and camping gear going back through the neighborhoods. They scream, fight, harass, and throw garbage everywhere and the mayor let them camp here so they still think it’s ok even though it is clearly illegal. They’ve also been burning garage and plastic the past 4 nights, which wait for it, is also illegal. Seriously, the mayor ran on addressing this problem and letting them destroy a different neighborhood is not a solution. We have little to no police presence over here and these people have been breaking multiple laws including trespassing as well. What are you guys doing about any of this?

I.m writing to ask if anyone inspects the many new building buildings along Jefferson. Specifically I'm concerned about the numerous street cuts that are now present. This road was once a very smooth street and now it is bumpy as can be. Are these cuts going to be finished so that the road is back to the way it was? It was taxpayer money that paved that road initially and it should be properly repaired. I personally feel the City is way to permissive when it comes to allowing half assed repair of street cuts. All over town we have to drive over poorly finished utility cuts. The public should not have bear the hardship these cause. Please insure our streets are properly put back to normal after any construction.

Last summer or the summer before that, Smithville came through the neighborhood to lay fiber optic cable. This year, AT&T is doing the same. Digging up yards, laying cable, spilling oil, making noise, leaving expensive machines running, spewing fumes, and wasting gas, etc. I suppose that Xfinity will want to do the same someday. Isn't it obvious that this installation of duplicative infrastructure is a profligate use of resources and imposes repeated harm on the environment? Why should every service provider be installing independent infrastructure? Wait, I know the answer to this one: money, profit for the business. Just not anything better for the consumer, the animals who live here, or the environment overall. These companies want to do business here? Adopt some guidelines, ordinances, or laws that compel them to cooperate. Allowing multiple corporations to lay their own cable is wasteful, harmful, and short-sighted.

An out of town friend of ours was on Kirkwood last night. He had come to spend the weekend with his daughter, a graduating senior at IU. He saw that there was an incident brewing and approached officers, who he states were only on the periphery of Kirkwood. He asked them to enter into Kirkwood as the situation was getting out of control. He, a white man, was told if he felt uncomfortable around black people that he should leave. The police, rather than protecting the thousands of students, of all races and nationalities, chose to stand around until gun violence escalated. I hope that you are all deeply ashamed of your lack of concern for the city's residents. IU students, faculty and staff contribute untold monies to the coffers of the city and I hope that you will be able to come up with some sensible policies to protect IU students so they can celebrate the race and all that they bring to the city.

While I was driving along N Crescent Rd, a sanitation worker who was on the opposite side of the street suddenly stepped out into the middle of the road directly in front of my vehicle and motioned for me to stop. There was no prior warning, traffic control device, or signal indicating that traffic needed to halt. The sudden action required me to brake unexpectedly to avoid a potentially dangerous situation. Abruptly entering an active traffic lane without clear warning created a serious safety risk for both myself and the worker

Yesterday's press release from Mayor Thomson is so inappropriate. City council followed the law with regard to delaying the reading of the ordinance for the Hopewell South PUD. It's truly incredible that the mayor, and her staff apparently, believe it necessary to publicly attack council members for doing their due diligence and following procedures clearly laid out in city code. These kinds of public attacks are not engaging in good faith. Furthermore, to claim that the concerns raised by council were merely procedural in nature is simply dishonest. Cm. Stosberg raised valid concerns about the PUD document itself, citing incorrect references and inconsistent requirements. Those seem like pretty important concerns that might impact the "merit of the product", as the mayor put it. "We are in a housing crisis, and the community should demand that its elected officials respond with urgency." The mayor is also an elected official. As a community member, I would like to demand that the mayor refrain from playing an immature blame game while attempting to rush a poorly prepared PUD through civic process. And yes, I am aware that the mayor stands by her statement.
