A tree in the city easement area behind my parents house at 1009 S. Grant fell down and broke their fence and is now in their yard. I have been unable to find the rules applying to this sort of issue and would greatly appreciate any help for them. Thank you
A large, event-sized tent with fully closed sides is setup in Seminary Park.
Question: why do my house plumbing leaks occur when lots of people leave town for vacation? This happens not every vacation, but most of the leaks in my house have occurred like today, at vacation time, or 4th of july, etc. Is it that city water pressure to my house goes up then? Do you try to regulate pressure for this vacation exodus?
The road that leads to the Jordan parking garage (University Road?)has a large "pothole" that resulted in a blown tire. I would think this is a university maintained road since it is not on Jordan, but rather the side road that leads to the parking garage, but IU claims it is the city's responsibility. I have attached pictures. It appears this is from construction and/or utility work rather than natural erosion, and there is a sharp and steep edge/drop-off. I did not have a ruler with me, but used a standard size sharpie to show the depth. Using a ruler afterwards, the hard edge/cliff is approximately 5 inches. In the dark at night there is no lighting, and when making a left onto that road there is no way to see it with your headlights. In addition to requesting that the hole be repaired, I would like to receive reimbursement for the damaged (flat, non repairable)tire. Thank you for your time.

The Emeriti House at 1015 E. Atwater serves the retired faculty at IU. Currently the entrance to the alley behind the house is blocked off at Hawthorne for some minor resurfacing. Tomorrow, Fri 5/15, Faculty Ave will be resurfaced, so the entire access to the alley will be blocked off. I have two retired professors coming by tomorrow, one to pick up a very LARGE piece of art to transport to the Convention Center for a presentation. Emeriti House also has its art exhibit going on this month, as we do every year. Is this alley going to be open from the Hawthorne side by tomorrow morning? My professor must have access to the alley and our ramp for this piece of art. I would appreciate a quick reply so I can contact him about this. Also, in future, if the alley is being worked on or blocked, could someone please call me, as it impedes the traffic and our clientele, as most are retired and some use canes, etc. Thank you! Nat
