NW corner of Grant/8th has shrubs that hinder view of oncoming traffic when traveling south on Grant. When you get to the intersection you have to slowly pull into it because the shrubs prevent you from seeing cars traveling east on 8th Street, and they don't have a stop sign on 8th so they just plow through the intersection. This has been a hazard off and on for years.

Third Street between Woodlawn and Indiana intersection is a problem. It narrows to one lane near Indiana, but the traffic at the light at Woodlawn does not know it will narrow. This results in traffic tie ups and unsafe manouvering to get a better spot in line. Please move the warnings and signs about the single lane closer to the traffic light at Woodlawn, if they can see the problem earlier it will be safer. Someone tried to cut ahead by using the bike lane and sidewalk today.

The one lane road sign really needs to be placed further back on 3rd street. I was just out in front of Rawles Hall and Swain east/west and was almost hit by a car that was trying to go around 2 other cars!!! He did go up on the curb and barely missed a tree that i was standing by. If he had hit that tree his car and the tree would have fell on to me and my friend. There was also an accident earlier this week due to people not knowing they need to go into one lane. Please move the sign or add another sign at the top f the hill so when drivers are at the light at 3rd & Woodlawn they know to start getting over. Thank you!

in front of 517 E. Kirkwood (Pot Belly patio & IU offices) there is a row of weeds wedged between the patio base and brick sidewalk. It's been there all summer, and are steadily growing. Not sure who to contact for removal (city, property manager?,IU...) thanks.

Our neighbor, James True, address 712 W. Rosewood Dr., has seriously neglected the maintenance of his back yard lawn. By our count, he has mown it once completely, and twice when he stopped half way. The current state is that his lawn is too high for a power mower to deal with. The weeds are very high (two to three feet) and the space clearly harbors rodents and snakes. Yesterday, a two and a half foot long black snake was found on the edge of his property.
Further, his older Volvo sedan has been sitting on the street along side our for property at least two months.
In the past we have contacted him, but I fear this time more authority is required.
Thanks very much for your help!

Property at 1826 E Hunter Ave has mowed their yard once this year. It is completely overgrown. Have spoken to neighbors about in the past (they, by habit, only mow it once a year), but nothing has changed.

There is a dead deer inside the SW baseball field (the one closest to Winslow and S. Highland). It is in far left field, near the fence. Maybe it jumped the fence and didn't make it. It probably should be removed ASAP.
