Excessive Growth
820 1/2 W 2nd ST
- Case Date:
- 9/21/2020
Safety issue/Excessive growth at 820 w. 2nd street. This property has excessive growth that obscures the line of sight on Euclid Ave for west-bound traffic on 2nd street.
Note that this property has had a prior complaint in July 2015.
Line of Sight
820 1/2 W 2nd ST
- Case Date:
- 9/21/2020
Line of sight/safety hazard because of excessive growth in front of 820 W. 2nd Street. For those turning onto 2nd street from Euclid street, the vegetation blocks the line of site. This is especially dangerous because the property is near the top of a hill, which already obstructs line of sight.
Street Trees

- Case Date:
- 8/31/2022
The street view is fully obstructed by weeds at the intersection of Euclid and 2nd street. When going South on Euclid and attempting to make a left hand turn (east) on 2nd, you cannot see oncoming traffic to your left due to vegetation between the sidewalk and the road. I have almost gotten in an accident twice at this intersection due to pulling out and jot seeing an oncoming car which was blocked by the weeds. This is especially a problem for cars versus trucks due to the height.

The overgrowth between the sidewalk and street on the NE corner of 2nd and Euclid blocks all the views of westbound traffic, creating a significant hazard. This occurs every year. The residents are apparently cultivating it. That overgrowth needs to be removed permanently.
Utilities Construction

This vault installation is not working. Location: ROW of N Jackson St, just south of the SW corner of N Jackson and W 13th. Vault installer (per plaque on the vault): Hoosier Fiber Networks. First, the pea gravel is not a great choice for fill in the ROW. I am pretty sure this is supposed to be a vegetated tree plot. Second, the fill is eroding away, leaving deep holes in the ROW. Please make Hoosier Fiber Networks fix it. Thank you!

Blocked Street
810 W 7th ST
- Case Date:
- 1/3/2022
The North/South alley between 810 W. 7th and 804 W. 7th is being encroached upon by gardens, woodpiles, trees/vegetation and possibly the fence and cinder block garage owned by 810 W 7th St.
As a result, the alley traffic is being diverted outside of the alley right of way and onto the private property located at 804 W. 7th. This appears to have been going on for a number of years.
As the new owner of 804 W. 7th St., it is my full intention to re-claim the property/property line currently being encroached upon and proceed with renovations. I request that the Street Dept contact the owner of 810 W. 7th and order the encroachments be removed.
With the assistance of a surveyor, I have located the NW and SW corner pins delineating the right of way and pounded new T posts just outside of the right of way in those spots and plan to post the entire property line once the encroachments are removed.
Were I to reclaim the property line today, the alley would become impassible due to said encroachments. I request your assistance in remedying this situation in a civil and legal manner, as requests to the homeowner of 810 W.7th have fallen upon deaf ears.
I request that you keep me in the loop regarding this issue. I would be happy to meet with a representative of the street dept, with survey in hand, to assist in clarifying and remedying this issue, as renovations of 804 W. 7th will begin in a few weeks.
Thank you for your attention in this manner,
Sincerely,
