Hello-
I was actually hit by a car on washington between 3rd and Smiths St's tonight, 3/7/24 a bit after 6 pm.
A Porsche SUV driven by a college-aged female drove up next to me, then attempted to turn west onto Smith directly in front of me causing me to run into the passenger side door with my elbow and bike.
I had a rear blinking light on, so this person had to have seen me as she approached.
I'm fine; I yelled some very not-nice things and continued on my way.
I know there's nothing to be done here, but in the interest of logging yet another incident in this area, I wanted to report.
thanks again.
Sorry, no picture.
Line of Sight
401 S Woodlawn AVE
- Case Date:
- 6/21/2018
Pulling out of this alley either direction onto Woodlawn is a hazard, especially for pedestrians and bicyclists. To the right (on Subway/apartment bldg. side) is shrubbery that completely blocks the view of the sidewalk and street. Approaching it from the alley, we can't see if any vehicles or pedestrians are approaching from the north, traveling south. To the left of the alley is a rental house that has a shrub or tree or some other type of greenery that hangs far enough forward that we can't see what's approaching from the south, traveling north. We must ease our vehicles out into the street in order to see what's coming on Woodlawn in either direction. If we're turning right (to head north) when we ease out into the street for visibility, when we see that it's clear to turn onto Woodlawn it forces the front half of the vehicle to swing into the southbound lane. The shrub to the right of the alley (Subway building) needs to be trimmed drastically or removed altogether for safety's sake since the view of pedestrians and vehicle/bicycle traffic is completely blocked. And the tree/bush on the other side of the rental house to the left needs to be trimmed back enough for visibility. This alley is used daily by many. It contains IU parking spaces and parking for residential rental property, and U.S. Mail vehicles travel it daily for delivery. A colleague reported this to the city last year and nothing came of it.

There used to be a crosswalk across High Street connecting E Hunter Ave and the east side of High Street. When High Street was repaved recently, they covered the crosswalk, but evidence of it can still be seen on the east edge of High Street. Will that crosswalk be replaced? I used it frequently to get home. Thank you!

Too many accessory Buildings. Appears to be violating occupancy limits
Biking & Walking
443 S Landmark AVE
- Case Date:
- 4/12/2023
S Landmark Ave is dangerous to cross in the middle of the S curve, where most workers and clients need to cross. The mailboxes for the businesses on the west side of the street are located on the east side of the road. The nearest crosswalks are located at the intersections with Bloomfield and 3rd street, which is not a reasonable distance. Please consider adding a crosswalk, preferably with a button for blinking lights.
Thank you!

Yard Waste

The city blocked some section of the road off (presumably to slow traffic). Now there is just yard waste and old hay bails left in them. It looks trashy.

Reported this once but I believe I may have put in the wrong address. I believe the address is 515 S. Washington or at least in the 500 block on the left side of the street. I included a picture to show the violation and location. Thank you for looking into this matter.
