There are large amounts of broken glass in the road in the area around Harold and Alice street (which is between 8th/9th and Dunn/grant) I tried my best to avoid it today but some glass punctured my front tire and tube. Broken glass seems to be very prevalent in the areas with IU students.
Broken glass
North Dunn between Cottage Grove and 12th Street has no sidewalk at all on the west side of the street and several places on the east side that also do not have a sidewalk. This forces people to walk in the middle of the street. Lately, there have been times in the evening when there are *many* people walking (stumbling) down the street, all probably en route to/from "The Standard". These are people who cross the railroad tracks through the vandalize security fence there. If the City is not going to prevent people from crossing the railroad in the dark and over rocks and difficult terrain by putting up some sort of impermeable wall at 13th/Dunn, at least they could provide a functional sidewalk for intoxicated students to walk on. To make things worse, the street lamp at 11th/Dunn is burned out so on top of having to walk in the middle of the street it is also almost pitch black there. And this is all complicated by the fact that so many people at night drive the wrong way down Dunn and 11th Street, both of which are one-way streets.
Not exactly sure what the point of a bike lane is if cyclists will regularly have to swerve in and out of it. This is probably why everyone rides on the sidewalk on S Walnut
Went for a walk with my partner and pup, ended up using my shirt as a compress for a dying man. Sorry for the smart comment, but maybe it’s time to figure out how to tackle the balance of compassionate treatment of the transient population with public safety. My girlfriend will be processing the trauma for days and Howe St has become a thoroughfare.
Are the curbs on Allen St going to be painted? Cars frequently go 30+ miles per hour now that there is no physical indication to go slower. Maybe a sign? Maybe some yellow curbs?
the curbs and streets out here are in need of MAJOR repair. we have complained numerous times and over one year ago were told this would be addressed. there is at least a 2 inch drop where the curbs and walks are completely deteriorated. we pay CITY taxes and want this fixed immediately Over a year in complaints and still nothing has beed fixed or even addressed
West side of north grant st sidewalk between 8th and 9th st is covered in layer of mud after every rain. Looks like curbing is needed slong sidewalk edge.
Hello- This car was blocking the bike lane on washington between Smith and 2nds Sts 2/13/24, 6:12pm. They pulled out as I was getting my glove off to operate my camera, so I couldn't get the plate number for you. thanks again!
