Someone has painted over the yellow curb on College Avenue (just north of the railroad bridge) with gray paint, allowing cars to park on the street in this area. It looks suspicious - can can you please check to see if this was done by the City or if it was just somebody trying to create an illegal parking area for themselves?
The small stub of West 10th Street that runs West from Fairview to another short street called Curve Street and runs for one block is a disgusting muddy mess. If you are not going to maintain this street why don't you dig it up and turn it into green space? During the recent rains the City storm water system was so backed up in this location that the entire area completely filled with water (causing water infiltration into the basement of the house I own at 605 North Fairview. The storm sewers are often blocked and the culvert at the bottom of the park is inadequate to handle the water that runs off Ernest Butler Park. The whole situaiton is a mess and largely caused by City mismanagement. Additionally, the City has repeatedly allowed Mr. Goodman to violate City rules and codes and directives and his mess and non-running cars adds to the mix of this mess--once again a case of City mismanagement. This horrible situation has persisted for years. As the owner of 605 N Fairview I am seriously considering hiring an attorney and taking formal legal action against the City for its inattention to its own rules. If the Goodman property were a rental property that I owned I would be getting a complaint notice every other day. Both Matt Murphy (who owns the commercial property which adjoins my house at 605 N Fairview) and I have invested significant money in keeping our properties nice and generally contributing to the uplift of the Near-Westside. Too bad the City is not helping us! My number is 812-322-2050 and I would be interested in hearing if anyone at the City has viewed the situation on this one block section of West 10th Street.
In the easement at the back of my property there is an old water meter. (I think it is abandoned and that it probably belonged to the house that also abuts the easement. It is full of clear water and this water is flowing out into my backyard and turning it into a swamp. I'm not sure what is going on, where the water is coming from, etc., but the fact that it is clear leads me to think that it is coming from the city's water mains. The lid was off of the meter when I found it. It may not show in the image, but it is full of water and, as you can see, the water is seeping out.
Please make sure whatever scooter ordinance is passed is enforced by city staff, not the companies. Improperly parked scooters need to be impounded. IU is doing a MUCH better job than the city making sure these things don't do damage. Follow the rules, great. If not, lock them up promptly.
Tiny houses be operated as AirBNB in backyard of 1011 W 7th Street... trailers parked on grass in backyard
There is a large trailer with someone living in it parked on Maple Street just North of 8th Street. It is taking up at least two parking spaces and they are using large chunks of limestone to keep it from rolling downhill. It has an extension cord going all the way across Maple Street plugged into a home. It has been parked there for at least three weeks.
Hi, There is a large old travel trailer parked on Maple Street, between 8th and 9th Streets. It has been there for at least a month. There is an electric cord stretched across Maple from the house across the street that has been connected for at least the past week. It appears that the owner is "camping" on a public street. The trailer is an eye-sore, is not mounted on stable footings, and is taking up several parking spaces for the neighborhood. The location and size of the trailer make it difficult to see around the corner when approaching the intersection. Is living in a trailer on a public street allowed? Thanks for looking into this.
The alley behind 1030 and 1036 W 6th st is in need of additional gravel, water pools in the area during and after rainy days.
Street signs (green ones) located at the intersection of Rector Road and Rector Place is completely faded and unreadable for motorists.
Tennant from 801 W 7th constantly parks in yellow no parking zone on South East corner of Maple at W 7th. Has been parked there for hours today there have been a few near misses as cars have to pull way out onto W 7th to see cross traffic.
