Blocked Street
724 E 2nd ST

Road rage incident experienced and called into BPD for Indiana license plate #TP9081 as we waited for 4 vehicles to go across this terrible disconnected jaunt. The reported vehicle went to play chicken with us and refused to move and passenger got out of vehicle all to come yell expletives at us and say they aren’t moving….. all this to say because a new section of sidewalk was poured and not repainted yellow so another vehicle was parked there and taking up that drivers lane while ours was clear. Please get this corrected and actually continue to paint lines and yellow no parking to prevent unnecessary rage incidents for just driving in this town. Absolutely asinine.

At the end of the street, there is very little light. It is not safe to be walking in the dark alone down that part of the street.

Newly installed lights on Hawthorne. The lights are so bright I could mow my lawn at midnight and that is with the trees in full leaf. I used to enjoy looking at the stars, but no more. I don't remember seeing any additional lights in the plan for the bike access between weatherstone and hawthorne. There are already lights at either end of the street marking the intersections so perhaps that aren't necessary. Could they be dimmed or adapted so the light is cast downward?

The yellow paint on the curb adjacent to my driveway has (largely) worn away, and cars now park right up to my driveway on 2nd st, which is very busy. I can't see cars coming from either direction when parked cars take these (illegal) positions. I would like the yellow paint to be redone so that drivers would more often leave clearance around my driveway.

Several households (four I think) have stacked storm damage debris on the south side of Sheridan directly across from 1315 Sheridan.

Hello:
I was in communication with Christina Smith last fall regarding a street light that needs to be installed on S. Fess Ave. Preferably 821 S. Fess Ave., as that is the middle of the block. The 800 block of S. Fess is totally pitch black, unless there is a full moon. I'm not sure why this completely dark street, with two homebound senior citizens living on it (my neighbors), hasn't become a priority for a street light. Please consider taking care of this soon. Thank you! Previous correspondence below.

Ms. Fischman,
Thank you for communicating with the Department of Public Works regarding an additional lighting request along S. Fess Avenue. Each year, we install street lights within the public right of way on a petition base and available funding. I have placed your request area on are list for future consideration. At this time, we have quite an extensive list, therefore, it cannot predict when the light will be installed.
Best,
Christina

Hi, I'm wondering what I need to know about putting a shed in our backyard. How big can it be / where we can put it, etc. My address is actually 1122 E 1st St, not 1123. Thank you.
