Potholes, Other Street Repair
421 S Dunn ST

- 1/25/2017
The streetlight on this corner at Ninth and Jackson has been burnt out for literally years. People continue to dump trash, steal things from my porch, and cause trouble in this corner because it is so dark. Please for the love of god, replace the street light in this corner.
I would like to request that the "volunteer" workers that are cutting new trails into a state-designated nature preserve across from my home be stopped immediately. The state designates "nature preserve" land to be preserved for natural ecological functions. It's the highest protection the state can place on natural land. These "volunteers" are cutting new trails which increases the spread of invasive species. The ecological integrity of these precious few acres is already compromised by the proximity to homes and these new and poorly designed trails are adding to the stress and degradation of this natural space. They are using lawn mowers and power tools which disrupt nesting bird habitats. They cut one Asian Honeysuckle allowing several more to take its place. Trash bags with refuse are left for weeks by these volunteers. I understand that the intentions are to remove invasives but what is actually occurring does nothing but spread the same invasives. It is a misguided effort and needs to cease immediately. I have a Master's degree in Park and Public Land Management from IU and have seen this happen numerous times in other locations. In this case it seems that a small group of volunteers desired a walking trail next to their neighborhood and began "volunteering" to create these trails. While not a big deal on private land, these particular lands are designated by the state for the highest protection possible. I would be more than happy to discuss this further and suggest some alternative activities for this group of volunteers. You have my email and I hope we can come to a resolution that will stop the infringement of these state-protected lands. Thank you for your time.
Invasives growing into sidewalk, blocking pedestrian passage.
It seems the roads were plowed, however. There is still a considerable amount of snow and slush on the streets in the park ridge east area. This makes it very difficult to drive safely, particularly in hilly and curvy areas.
As you descend the hill on North Curry Pike toward the intersection with highway 46, there is a 4x4 foot damaged section of pavement which is severe enough that you must veer to the left and drive over the diagonal yellow lined area that separates the lanes. Not safe. Also, Curry Pike from West Third to the Profile Parkway intersection could you another pass on pavement repair as could the section between Curry and Woodyard intersection north to 46.
Pothole is located in front of 709 S.Park Ridge Rd. In front of driveway.
The pavement has been washed away near the curb.
The light is still green on one side when the other turns green. Got pulled over for it
We have a series of potholes at the intersection of Penn Court and Cambridge Drive. I believe this was recently patched in the winter, but is not in good shape now. Many thanks!
