On 6-15-23 between the hours of 12:00 to 1:00 pm. Myself and 2 others had just climbed up the stairs after going down to look at the water falls. We heard a loud car enter the parking area and shut off. however, no one got out of the vehicle as if they intended to hike. I was concerned about my own car because it was the only other one there. My friends and I decided to walk back up to the parking lot to make sure my was not the target of being broken in to or the catalytic converter being stolen. As we approached the parking area, we observed the other car had backed into the parking spot next to my car. We could see the driver standing beside they driver's door. We made noise to let the m know we were approaching, the person standing immediately sat back down in their seat. We saw an adult male slumped over in the passenger seat, totally passed out and not moving or awake. The driver and person who had been standing was an adult women, she seemed oblivious and unaware too. The car was and older car, a big vehicle like police use to drive, possibly a Crown Victoria . The back seat was piled high with clothes,, sleeping bags, blankets, etc. Indicating to me homelessness. The car was painted gray with a large area of the front end painted black. The back window on the drivers side had a star in it, brown like a sheriff's star. It was obvious that they were not intending to hike. We intended to continue our hike but decided the situation seemed unsafe and sketchy. I would have liked to have gotten a photo of their license plate, but as I said they were backed into the spot. As that is a pretty isolated area without others around, I thought I should at least list my concern. It is my hope that the area is patrolled throughout the day. The Leonard Springs Nature Preserve is a beautiful area that those of us who appreciate nature and the beauty of this area should be able to access without risk or fear of something happening to our vehicles or our person. My friends and I are experienced hikers and do so on a regular basis. Unfortunately, this is the first time we have felt such an uncomfortable and sketchy situation. I am certain I would recognize that vehicle again My phone Number is 824-6527 if you need to call me. I felt it was important to list my concern.

Sending the gentleman out to state at the empty hole in the ground does not equal painting, putting up signs or planting live things in said hole. Please complete the Allen Street project for real.

Hello, The street sign at the corner of Montclair and Queens Way is tilted and twisted. Large Moving Vans and Tractor Trailers are the likely suspects. This occurs several times each year. Is there a flexible version of the sign post ? Thanks Monty Marsh 812-339-3558

Are there plans to turn back on the city park water fountains any time soon? Not having access to drinking water is a real hindrance for runners.

Hi. I already sent this in, but I didn’t know how this form worked. Anyway, I LOVE that the road in Cadcades is closed for pedestrians. I think it is GREAT and might revitalize that park. But, when I was walkng there yesterday, a pack of racing bicyclists (think Little 500 pratice) came screaming around a corner, directly into where we were walkng and suddenly they were screaming “people! people!” and whooshing around us. It really felt like they could have hit us and we could have been really hurt. They were going very fast and there were about 15 of them. The road in Cascades is not safe as a pedestrian walkway if that continues. It really worries me.

Hello! Please relocate the people living in the many growing homeless camps along the B-line next to Switchyard Park. The day before yesterday, my mother was riding her bike early in the morning through Switchyard, and a crazy homeless guy was chasing people on a bike and swinging a baseball bat around. A mid-30s white homeless guy with wavy hair comes around our house about once a week (we live on 2509 S Camden) and gives my 3-year-old daughter and my pregnany wife dirty looks and yells obscenities. We are renting and the owner will not pay for fancy fences or security cameras. We cannot afford to pay for those either, as I am a graduate student. Many of my neighbors are also getting increasingly annoyed with homeless people trespassing and breaking into their cars. Me and my family feel unsafe on our own front porch. Please do something about this problem as it is getting worse. Best, Daniel Cueto daniel@danielcueto.com 812-803-8195

Hello. I'm following up with 175683. Does the City now have plans for how they'll be promoting the LGBTQ+ community for June (and beyond is great too)? Thank you.
