Blocked Sidewalk

Case Date:
6/6/2020

Sidewalk blocked with construction sign on north side of 17th between woodburn and kinser. In front of 314 W 17th. I believe its trying to warn about sidewalk closure for site just west of kinser. The sidewalk here is still useful to connect to sidewalks on the east side of madison and kinser, and it should not be blocked. A desire trail in the grass indicates there are pedestrians still using this route.

Blocked Sidewalk

Case Date:

West sidewalk on rogers st just north of 10th st / B-line heights (pedcore project). They're using this vacant lot as a staging area for the trades district garage. They often park overhanging the sidewalk. This trailer hitch is a daily problem. The transportation plan calls for a 1.5ft shy zone beside sidewalks, and municipal code explicitly bans parking on unimproved surfaces. So can we get at least 1.5ft here!!! The photo is from yesterday but the situation is the same today.

Blocked Sidewalk

505 W 4th ST

Case Date:
6/28/2018

Since this building is no longer a garage, it seems that a full curb should be installed to prevent people from pulling up on the sidewalk. There are constantly cars parked on the sidewalk here (several feet in past the yellow painted curb (which is flattened because it used to be a garage). I asked the tenants to stop, and then today a dumpster showed up on the sidewalk. This is the North side of the "FAR" gallery building at fourth and rogers. Obviously this is frustrating to me but it's probably pretty annoying for the kid in a wheelchair who i see going back and forth to school and having to cross the street to get around.

Drainage or Runoff

1301 W Allen ST

Case Date:
8/8/2023

Construction continues without mind to the continued runoff of concrete and dirt. Runoff of concrete that is collected on the sidewalk running parallel to Allen St has not been properly disposed of. The silt fence was not installed in a way that stops runoff from occurring. Mud and other substances are being tracked onto the main driveway because the construction entrance is not being maintained.

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.
