The city bus routinely drives through the Fritz Terrace neighborhood too fast. I don’t have a radar gun but the speed limit is 20 and they are obviously going over. On Saturday 5/21 sometime around 3:00 I believe the bus hit and killed a neighbor’s dog near 3131 Valleyview and continued their route. I did not witness the event but was told by a neighbor the bus stopped for a moment at the same location the dog was hit, near the same time, then continued on. I would like the transit department to identify who the driver was and see what the story is on why they did not stop and try to help or identify the owner of the dog, or if I am mistaken and the driver claims it was not them and perhaps maybe they witnessed the event and could provide more details.
Even without the issue of who hit the dog, the bus needs to slow down and not exceed the 20 MPH speed limit. There are lots of kids in this neighborhood, the streets are narrow and the curve at the top of the hill is a blind spot for oncoming traffic. Please address this issue before someone gets hurt or killed.

It is unsafe as the roads in the neighborhood are already narrow and is an impediment to pedestrian and motor traffic.

I tried to describe this issue over the phone but the street dept. employee only wanted to blame my driveway for destroying the city street. What?? The problem is the street gutters. When the 800 block of Briarcliff was repaved about 6 years ago, it was ground down and the asphalt was carried into the gutter and made for a smooth transition to the remaining gutter concrete. The 900 block of Briarcliff was not ground down and repaved at that time. We are still waiting for the rest of Briarcliff to be repaved properly. In the 900 block the street's asphalt is approx. 3 inches higher than the concrete gutter so when you include the yard side of the gutter we have one enormous gully. I know of one broken ankle because of this and two weeks ago the Amazon driver twisted his ankle stepping into the gully getting out of his truck. I had asked about putting concrete in the gully in front of my mailbox and was told by street employee NO, that would destroy the street. So what can be done to either pave the gutter in the 900 block like the 800 block or grind down the street pavement in the 900 block so it makes a smooth transition with the gutter. I know what I would do but the city owns the street. We on the 900 block pay the same city tax rate as the 800 block so I think we should have the same street setup. I did ask the street employee to bring out a two wheel drive vehicle and try to drive through the gutter. Not surprised no one showed up. Thanks

I was mowing my yard yesterday evening when I noticed a bicycle left on W. Seventh Street. I did not think about it until I read that the IUPD has had a number of bicycle thefts. So I went out today and the bicycle is still there.
I leaned it by a light pole. It is an older Schwinn, dark blue, 15-speed, without a seat.
Maybe it is one of the bicycles that was stolen.
