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.
Looks like there is a pipe burst in the backyard of this property I own
Trees need trimming along the sidewalk as they are too low and hit you in the head when walking on the sidewalk.
The drive/alleyway to the left of my residence is unlit and pitch black at night. It is dangerous to walk to and from my car or trash bins at night. I spoke with my landlord and he said that it is city property. I would like some kind of streetlight or floodlight installed.
Traffic heading south on Smith Rd continues to be backed up all the way to the intersection of 10th St and Smith due to the 4-way stop sign intersection at Smith and Morningside and the stop light at Smith and 3rd St. Cars turning left do not have a green turn signal and must wait until traffic going in the opposite direction is clear, causing major back ups. Many vehicles turn left onto 3rd St heading east so a green turn arrow really is needed, along with a turn lane.
The bike lanes on North Smith Road are crumbling and are more dangerous to use than the car lanes. It would be really nice to see an extension of the sidewalk to incorporate and combine the existing bike lanes, so the sidewalks are wider, and the vehicle lanes feel narrower, which might help reduce traffic speeds through the winding/hilly residential area and make the path feel safer to bikers and pedestrians.
Streetlight across the street from 209 E 10th is out creating unsafe area for pedestrians at night.
Tenants left pile of trash bags by the street. Animals can dig through them.
