Nuisance Lights

Case Date:
9/3/2022

This unnecessary, gas station-style light seems far too tall and way too bright for this context of a residential neighborhood. It shines brightly into my second-story bedroom window (see photo) and wakes me during the night. No one living on this intersection wants it here. Bright outdoor light in the summer also disrupts firefly mating, causing their population to decline. Please remove it—or replace with a much shorter, *much dimmer*, insect-friendly, amber-lit lamp post, ideally also befitting a historic neighborhood. Thank you.

This past weekend my car was towed by Chandler Towing at 4am Sunday morning. I was staying the night at my partner’s apartment at 406 e 11th st. which is leased by Parker management. I was given verbal consent to park my car there while visiting by an employee at their office when I helped her pick up her keys to the apartment on the 1st of August. Given that it was a holiday weekend and I have no other way to get to work I opted to but the bullet and go get my car before trying to file any complaints. I was charged the legal maximum of $160 dollars which I understand and did not choose to raise any questions at the Chandler office. Afterwards I emailed Parker to ask if they would be willing to either reach out to Chandler to get me a refund or reimburse my partner via deducting that cost from her rent balance next month. I was told that an employee would never tell me I can park here and that they cannot do anything. I understand that given the city ordinance put in place a couple years ago as well as state laws require that I am given 24 hours notice prior to being towed for abandoning my vehicle and the only exception is if there is an emergency OR I am preventing a business from performing as intended. The lot in which I parked has not once been close to full this year so far and I was not preventing other tenants from accessing parking spaces. My car was only there for 8 hours before being towed without notice. The affidavit written by the towing company did not provide any testimony as to what circumstances allowed them to tow my car without a notice. I was also told by the towing company that they do not file police reports when towing a car and I cannot find any legal precedent on this matter. If you have an answer as to whether that is legally required I would appreciate clarification on that matter. If there is a formal way for me to file a complaint on this issue please let me know. I would like to proceed as respectfully as possible while not allowing myself to be taken advantage of. Thank you!

Street & Traffic Signs

Case Date:
10/10/2022

Traffic Calming maintenance request: street markings and posts beside each traffic bump need refresh. Streets: E. Longview, Morningside Drive, N. Glenwood west and east. All traffic calming bumps need the striping repainted to mark the bump. All bumps need the poles and reflectors checked. Some poles missing, many reflectors damaged/missing. This has caused a hazard for vehicles who do not see the bumps due to faded markings and the vehicles traveling too fast and potential damage to vehicles. The marking DID get refreshed this past summer on parts of Morningside, thanks! Now we need similar action on E. Longview and the two Glenwood sections. I have submitted similar requests in the past but do not see them on file except for one for a missing post (2014). Please followup as this area (E. Longview) is an important connector to the City bike paths that connect to the Polly Grimshaw trail. Thank you - Park Ridge Neighborhood Association/Steve Akers

In the Grandview neighborhood, especially on Post Road, the asphalt is cracked and missing in several places. Grandview Avenue seems to be all right, but in addition to Post Rd, Staats and Kerry need work.

Drugs and needles (what I believe must have been drugs) many times in the hallways staircases and elevator. Used condom wrappers in hallways and staircases.

On September 20, 2022, I was riding my bicycle on the 10th street trail near the eastside Post Office. I saw a man on a scooter coming toward me, in the middle of the trail, riding very fast. I maneuvered to avoid him and crashed my bike, rolling onto the pavement and grass. I was hoping my hurt ankle was only a sprain, but I could not walk on it. The next day, I went to a walk-in orthopedic clinic and learned my foot was broken in 4 places. I am still recovering. Please include this instance in any records the City keeps about scooters. Although a ban on scooters is unlikely, some limits on speed and place may help reduce incidences like mine. Thank you.

My petition. Indiana Section 31. I suggest a letter to Biden for a X mass truce be made to Putin. With the facts related to Havana syndrome & Post cold war Psychotronics & the dangers of Hitlers Phone bridge affect synergnic reactions of radio frequency & near magnetic field bone conduction induced tinnitus and Voice & Concerns about Clinton judgement influence via her disposition & her voting record for war & or bengazy post the ignored directives of Minamata convention on Dental Mercury Silver conductive Amalgams. Lets tell Putin You those whom supported her are sorry she made the statement Putins Like Hitler. It would be a nice thank you to all the veterans disrespected from Antifa & BLM defacing the POW MIA Wall down down as they was let to camp on the court house lawn as they bad mouthed the US Military. I wonder if Elon Musk would agree as he defends NeuroLink in the investigation more so after Biden Joke 2005 about Mark My Words to the Pending FISA Courts Justice Roberts
