6 scooters less than 6 paces from a bike rack. ArentAthey supposed to be parked at a bike rack, not on the sidewalk?
The city has removed a recent encampment by the corner of Wylie and S Walnut. The person camping and blocking the sidewalk along the wood fence by the second house from the corner on the north side of Wylie has been allowed to remain despite having built a permanent campsite with increasing belongings for many weeks now. This campsite is used daily including overnight which is against city policies.
This large pine tree has been overgrowing the sidewalk (on right side of Landmark facing 3rd) for years. I walk this block everyday, and this chokepoint, where narrow sidewalk and street blend together, pushes me dangerously close to oncoming traffic. For fast traffic heading north on Landmark, this is a blind bend for anyone approaching from other direction. A large truck or van could easily sideswipe a pedestrian trying to step around tree limbs.
Serendipity has not cleared their sidewalk.
On the NW corner of 10th and Forrest there is a hazardous situation. There is no sidewalk along Forrest, but there is on 10th. When someone is walking south on Forrest on the west side of the street, the person must walk in a grassy area that looks a bit like a sidewalk from a distance, though it is only grass. When that person gets to the intersection with 10th Street, there is a drop-off of about 4 inches to the 10th Street sidewalk that is unexpected and jarring. Perhaps a little ramp there would improve the situation, though the addition of a sidewalk along Forrest would be a more ideal remedy. It is not clear if this is a City or a Campus issue, so please forward if this request should be sent to IU instead.
Maybe a complex problem, but there is often standing water (rain or shine, but especially when it's been raining) on the sidewalk and the street in the block just east of Walnut on the south side of 12th Street. .
Sanitation crews reported that this address was left a notice and the trash was not collected due to the residents tearing the stickers in half. There are 20 to 25 bags of trash on the sidewalk. It is a real big mess!
Sidewalk has not been cleared of snow this winter. It is very hazardous walking and someone may get hurt very badly
No snow removal on a well traveled sidewalk near a busy avenue.
