Issue #170681 has not been resolved. Mattresses/broken furniture still lying against garage outside in the weather.
This is a follow-up on ticket 167264. I want to thank you for installing the No Parking signs. Unfortunately, people are still parking in the bike lane just south of the train bridge on N. College. A black Jeep with Illinois plate E296690 has been parked there about since I started paying attention. Today, a white Ford SUV with temporary tag 25711S3 was even parked in the part of the lane with the yellow curb. Meanwhile, a police car drove past all of it. Please send some enforcement officials to remove or at least ticket these vehicles.
IU "Trident" logo has been incorporated into the roof design of 817 N. Washington, a rental house managed by "Cream and Crimson" properties (a small local company that is not affiliated with the University.) Is this a violation of any City signage ordinances (size, placement, trademark infringement, etc.)? It is unsightly.
Water is not working
Sidewalk is impassable when it rains.
Sidewalk flooded
No water is coming out of any of our faucets. This was preceded by the sound of water rushing through all of our pipes. It sounded like draining. Our address is 909 N Maple St.
Downed trees are restricting the flow of stormwater runoff through the ditch, close to where it intersects the B Line Trail. This is causing the adjacent lot to flood during periods of heavy rain.
The storm pipe/drain does not appear to have sufficient capacity to handle flash flood events. Storm water from the neighborhood overflowed from the street, and then flowed across the neighbor's driveway and down the slope into our property, flooding our crawl space. Last night there was literally a small river of water running aside and into our house, moving so fast that I could not safely walk outside until the rain subsided. We need an engineer to evaluate the current drainage system, in particular the capacity of the storm pipe and culvert that runs directly between our property and the neighbor's. We can make some mitigating improvements on our own property, but we really are not equipped to handle the sheer volume of stormwater from the entire neighborhood during very heavy periods of rain like we saw last night. I took some videos during the flood that we can send as well.
