A group of people have set up camp within the park. They have tents, sheets hung blocking the view, etc. They have beaten a trail to where they are camping and have removed vegetation to clear the site. I haven't seen it, but my adult son was out there looking for our dog and stumbled onto the campsite. He said if you park in the lot and go southeast, you'll find the camp. They are staying away from the old pond area and where there are workers. We just hate to see destruction in the park! Thanks, Martha

Address is 1437 W Countryside Lane in Sunflower Gardens association. We've formed Neighborhood Watch and want to put up signage, but need to know where they can be placed and to alert city so their placement is approved and they won't be taken down. To whom should I speak?

I live near the intersection of Arden and High. I have personally witnessed several cars blow through the 4-way stop without stopping or slowing down. There are a lot of children in this neighborhood, including many who walk to Child's school. Please consider some sort of traffic warning/calming/etc at this intersection. Thanks, Sarah Schmiechen

Once again, the section of West 11th st between Adams St and Fountain Dr has become a speedway. Drivers CD are absolutely flying down the road. Captain Pedigo, I know you are stretched thin when it comes to number of officers, but could you do your best to set up radar sometime on this section of road? Our neighborhood would truly appreciate it.

Identical to issue #188757. New tenants at this address are driving the wrong way on 11th to get to their parking spot. Please ask them to obey the "One-Way" signs and approach from either Washington or the alley, and not drive west along 11th from Lincoln. Pedestrians are not expecting a car to turn directly into their path, and because there are no sidewalks, people on foot must walk on the street. Also, there is a large spruce on the SW corner of Lincoln/11th that completely blocks the view of possible oncoming drivers, there is a real possibility that someone could get run over at this location or another vehicle driving in the correct direction on 11th will suffer a head-on. The vehicle observed most recently was a grey Hyundai Sonata with Pennsylvania plates. It then pulled into and parked behind (on the south side) of this house.

Nearly identical to case #188757 involving previous tenant at this location, and generally to cases #193315, #193314, and #193039. New tenant has been observed driving west from Lincoln along 11th Street against the one-way direction to get to alley where parking spot is located. Car was a BMW SUV with Indiana (Elkhart County) license plate.

For some reason, issue #193314 is not visible. Tenant at 800 N. Lincoln disregards "One-way" sign and is travels south on Lincoln from 12th Street to get to alley and parking spot behind house. Vehicle was dark red Toyota SUV with New Jersey license plates. Case is similar to #188757 and #193039.

People treat this traffic light as an optional stop sign. Even if the light is solid red (not blinking), if cars have seen a pedestrian finish the crossing or don't observe a pedestrian they continue through this red light. BPD could set up in the switchyard parking lot and rake in $ from all of the traffic violations here. More enforcement and maybe making the light always green (unless a pedestrian is crossing) would force car traffic to better respect this light. No one takes it seriously as is and I have seen multiple bikers/skaters/walkers almost get hit as they make the cross when the crosswalk is still clearly lit up.

What's left of this bike has been chained up here since this summer. It may need to be removed. Sorry for the poor quality photo.

The same group of people is claiming and staying in the gazebo at the Building and Trades park every single day. They are there from open to close, sometimes sleeping on the ground as if it is their personal camp site. Nobody else has a chance to use the shelter because this group is there the entire time the park is available for use. This was a problem last year, and the group referred to the park as their "turf" during an altercation with my neighbors. My house was recently broken into, and it concerns me to know that there are people who can just sit there all day and see exactly when we are coming or going. I don't mind people using the park (because public use is the purpose of a park), but I think it is unreasonable for one group of people to practically live in the park and claim the shelter every day, to the exclusion of other park users. It would be helpful if they could inhabit a different park - or just be somewhere else - on at least some days.
