Excessive Growth
1002 W 6th ST
- Case Date:
- 3/29/2018
Overgrown bamboo at 1002 W 6 St and Elm bending into sidewalks and street obstructing traffic. Bird droppings covering the sidewalk. The invasive plant has encroached on neighboring property where we live at 1004, so we are having to engage removal services and eventually install impermeable barriers at our expense. The back yard of 1002 is overgrown also, feral cats, possum and a skunk have been sited or smelled in a fallen shed which has not been cleared out. The Elm Street side of 1002 is full of debris and overgrowth and there is an unattended stagnant water feature where we hear frogs in the summer (which do attract copperhead snakes).
Someone does seem to be inhabiting the house, though we know that the owner of the house does not reside in Indiana presently.
Sewer Problems (Storm Sewers)
1002-1010 South Hawthorne Drive
- Case Date:
- 6/4/2018
We have city built ditches/basin along the streets for rainwater drainage in the area. I recently noticed there is a big hole in the middle of the ditch, lots of the water goes into that hole when it rains, looks like it keeps getting worse. Can you send someone to take a look, and get the hole patched please?
It's near the small bridge cross the ditch right by our front lawn, the address is 1002 S Hawthorne Dr. You can reach me either by email or phone.
Thank you.
Biking & Walking

- 9/12/2017
Just past Woodlawn in the Southdowns bicycle/pedestrian lane the is a ~10x3 foot asphalt patch probably covering some utility work. The north side of has opened a 2 inch gap in which grass is growing. This makes 10 foot long slot and the front wheel of my bike got caught in the slot causing me to fall this morning. I was not injured but this slot is a clear hazard.
Parks & Playgrounds
1003-1005 South Henderson Street
- Case Date:

The parking lot in Bryan Park near the sand volleyball court along Henderson has a problem. On the north side of the main play structure in the play surface there is a decent sized hole. This hole is big enough that a child or adult could easily step in it and be injured. The hole is through a rubber type play surface covering the ground. I'd recommend repairing this if possible.
Traffic Suggestions

Consider installing "Wrong Way" signs for cyclists on Third Street. As a bus operator, I can't tell you how many near-collisions I've had with cyclists popping out of nowhere going the wrong way on Third at night.
