I'm reporting this on behalf of a gentleman on the EH listserv, who reports a bulb out in one of the "charming old streetlamps" on Hawthorne at 2nd. Not quite sure which one it is, and you may get other reports on this as he sent it out to the entire listserv.
Several bags of trash were not emptied from our trash receptacle this morning
What am I supposed to do with my full bin of recyclables for the next two weeks?
Non-collect notice on my full trash bin because it was "too close to mailbox". You've got to be kidding me. Thanks collector 957!
There's a long pothole in front of the driveway to 1100 E. Azalea Ln that's getting progressively worse.
Pothole on Chris Lane
I've noticed more and more (unofficial) signs at the roundabouts throughout town. There is already enough difficulty and danger with people learning to use the roundabouts, and I think allowing signs to be placed there is an additional distraction to drivers. Examples include signs for local performances and craft shows. Don't get me wrong, I support those events. I just don't think their signs should be at roundabouts to possibly distract drivers further. Also, the shack that was built at the Winslow/High roundabout is a bit of an eye sore, in addition to blocking the view for drivers. One visitor asked me if it was for homeless people. Other than the shack, I appreciate the landscaping there.
Windows in all dorm rooms across IU are bolted shut and I can't see how this is anything less than a major fire safety hazard.
Numerous potholes near the corner or Nancy and Ruby. Thanks
There have been many wonderful improvements with the new Hawthorne Greenway, but there's a glaring absence of a decent pedestrian crosswalk from Weatherstone Ave. walking East or West across Woodlawn two new accessible curb cuts were made on the Weatherstone side of that intersection, but then, there's no crossing support for pedestrians to get into the park from there. I think a lot more kids will be taking that path from Weatherstone or from Hawthorne to cut across the park to get into Templeton Elementary School. A painted, raised crosswalk with signage would be ideal. Is that in the plans?
