I own a home that is currently rented at 852 S Romans Way, (Gentry Honours). Today I noticed a hole in the front yard between the sidewalk and curb area. The hole is about 8 inches around, but there is a cavern below it that is about 1.5 cu ft. Thank you!!
Code violation - fence is too high and/or too close to sidewalk.
There is a crab apple tree that appears to be dying on the tree plot (between sidewalk and street) on West 13th Street in the 700-block (around 715). Is this on city property or is this the home owner's responsibility?
Miller-Showers Park. On the overlook at the south end of the park, there is a grate missing in the sidewalk, leaving a hole which somebody could step in or trip over.
Once again the police have had to come into our area, following a street fight along the sidewalk between our homes. Just 2 nights ago shots were being fired less than 12ft. from my grandson's bedroom at 1am on that sidewalk. Police did find 1 of the 6 teens. Yesterday the fight landed two young adults in my driveway seeking refuge from an out of control violent young man. I'm disabled on crutches, and when I tried to stop the attacker from coming on my property he threatened serious harm to me and my grandson. Just before it got deadly, police with a K-9 arrived. Thank you BPD. The cut-thru sidewalk has become a danger and a menace to all of us and it is used mainly for bad activity. It needs to be closed, and the broken steps up to 12th street need to go. Many of us are elderly, disabled, and tired of these constant problems. City leaders NEED to come and see this area, and the trash, broken steps, empty drug needles, etc. We need help beyond having to call BPD all the time. Please take this seriously before someone is not just assaulted again, but perhaps shot. 2 gun incidents this spring is 2 too many. Thank You.
Found a drug needle on the sidewalk on North Madison across from Bloomington foods, on the sidewalk of that photo restoration company or whatever. Also, across the street from there in the bushes where Chase Bank drive-in used to be, there are a ton of clothes and old junk hiding in the bushes that has been there for months.
I live off of Gifford Road and Curry Pike and each time there has been snow, it seems like the snow plows and salt truck miss are area especially Gifford Road. Prefect example was yesterday and today no signs of it being plowed or salted. Will any one be plowing and salting roads today?
George Saliday told me I had to move from 'his' city owned sidewalk as me standing and speaking with one other person on said sidewalk was 'causing a hazard'. I would like an explanation as to the city law or rule prohibiting persons from conversing in a stationary manner while on a city sidewalk. I would also like to understand why a non law enforcement public employee is enforcing directives of the public and why he was wearing no identification. Thank you.
Just wanted to thank you for a job well done. I am an avid walker and my route frequently takes me by the north end of Southeast Park. For quite some time, the sidewalk running along the north side of the tennis courts near Moores Pike has frequently been covered with water and mud, becoming a nuisance for walkers, joggers, dog owners, cyclists and even tennis players. Recently the city trimmed the trees back, regraded the slope and created a drainage channel. I am happy to report that even during this wet summer, the fix seems to be working and so far the sidewalk has remained clear and passable. Many thanks! btw, compliments to park staff as well for the fine job they do of keeping the doggie waste bags well-stocked, and the timely job they do of emptying trash receptacles. Dog owners and non-owners alike appreciate it.
Snow plow has knocked down mailbox. Fix is temporary.
