Trash in yard. Grass in excess of 12 inches
Trash in yard. Grass in excess of 12 inches
The people living in the home have been piling up trash in their back yard for months and the pile is starting to move to the side of the house. The front yard has not been maintained either with trash and uncut grass.
Does it need an explanation? Hazards to kids and rodent attraction.
Overgrown ornamental grasses are blocking the sidewalk on High, forcing pedestrians into the street. This is a high-traffic, high pedestrian use corridor. Grasses overgrow the sidewalk every year at this time.
Hi - this is follow-up to ureport #186407. It is the sidewalk on the west side of College Ave just south of 14th street, near the train bridge. First off, thanks for your prompt attention! Unfortunately, the sidewalk is still not its full width. The historical sidewalk is about 8ft wide, and I believe pedestrians should enjoy the full width that was provided decades ago. I drew a red line on the photo to show where the edge of the sidewalk is. Everything to the right of that red line is vegetation and dirt that is encroaching on the sidewalk. What is to be done? I have done this work myself at the 11th&Fairview train bridge. I can do between 25 and 50 linear feet of this kind of work per hour with a shovel. This would generate nearly a yard of waste dirt which will need to go somewhere. An ideal solution would also stabilize the hillside but please don't let the perfect get in the way of the good. Please forward this to Director Wason as that sort of investment will require some leadership. I have watched work crews use line trimmers to move dirt and sand, which seems like a failure to provide the tools for the actual task they face. If pedestrians aren't worthy of this sort of consideration from the city, please let me know. Thanks! - Greg 812-391-3535
The apartment development on Gourley Pike has just poured a curb that impedes access to W. Cascade Ave. The curb extends into the approach to W. Cascade. There is no longer room for 2 cars to pass one another simultaneously to enter the street
Trees on this property are growing across the sidewalk lower than 8 feet, impeding pedestrian access.
I would like this intersection to be "No Turn On Red" for northbound traffic, and possibly have a few seconds delay for pedestrians/bikes to cross before the light turns green. It's dangerous to have cars hooking around bikers in the bike lane trying to go straight across. Thanks!
Pile of yard debris on the south side of the creek needs to be removed as there's a family of skunks living in it. Debris has been there for years but all previous homeowners claim it's "too hard" to clean that side of the creek when the city didn't provide them with a way across it.
Car and truck drivers regularly speed down 12th Street between Walnut and Indiana, and do so at all hours. Now, in addition to that they have been racing up Lincoln Street between 10th and 12th, likely to avoid the traffic lights at 10th/Walnut and the new one at 11th/Walnut. Fully half of the speeding vehicles have "Dominoes" pizza signs on the roof. Why did the City allow a junkfood delivery service to be situated where they could race through a residential neighborhood? Is there a way to prevent the delivery drivers from using 12th Street and Lincoln unless they have actual deliveries in the neighborhood? Or at least slow them down a bit. It seems like a Stop sign at 11th/Lincoln would help on that street, and two Stop signs on 12th (at Lincoln and either Washington or Grant) would make it safer. PLEASE do something about this. It can only get worse if/when "The Standard" is ever done and occupied. It will be a nightmare unless the City is proactive and puts up Stop signs where they are warranted. (And the arguement that "No one stops at Stop signs" used by the traffic board in the past is specious. If true, why then are there any stop signs put up anywhere?
