The sidewalk along Lincoln Street, near 8th street, has been blocked for the last few days during the daytime. It doesn't seem like anyone has been working there, so it seems like it has been closed just to be closed
Black truck parks across the sidewalk at 310 N. Lincoln
Semi truck parked in 7-line in front of the health department seemed to think he was doing me a favor by only blocking one lane. He said he would be there a while if you want to go tell him what he was supposed to have done. In any event I think some more flexi-posts on that stretch are warranted. Thanks!
The street and sidewalk are blocked by protesters, they're not actively protesting, but they are obstructing people trying to use 7th street
Yew bush/tree has grown out so far that it halfway blocks the sidewalk. This makes for a dangerous situation at night because the sidewalk is in really bad shape at the same location. Those two things together pose a major trip hazard if people have to navigate around the yew in the dark and also have to watch their step on the crumbling sidewalk.
Completely dead, large street tree on 11th Street side of property.
Shrubbery along boundary between properties - 715 E. 11th (IU-owned) and 723 E. 11th (private) - has grown so much that it is blocking the sidewalk. It is not obvious which of the two properties is responsible for the trimming, but it looks closer to 715.
Encampment of houseless individuals taking up on public sidewalk behind tree planter every night. The area is blocked during their occupation and when they leave, copious amounts of trash, discarded belongings, syringes etc are left behind to be cleaned up by others. The public defecation that takes place is a public health hazard.
The sidewalk & public sitting bench are taken over by huge tarps covering shopping carts etc of personal belongings.
