Abandoned Vehicle

There is an abandoned vehicle on this property. 411 E Glendora. The house looks also abandoned but they are mowing the lawn. The car has been sitting there for well over 3 years now. The windows are broken out. It is clearly visible when driving by on both Dunn St and Glendora. It is a white small sedan. The neighborhood is well established with nice homes and this property (corner lot) really is a concern. Can anything be done about this abandoned vehicle?? Thank you

The large sunken patch has asphalt edges that are starting to breakdown. The southbound edge is particularly bad now and the edge hits tires hard as it is crossed and speed limit. I drive this daily so I have noticed the decline. The whole big pay h needs final paving ASAP.
Biking & Walking

Cars cut through Matlock Heights to avoid the light at Walnut/Bypass. We need traffic calming here to slow traffic down. Cars are driving at high speeds and not watching out for walkers and children biking. This has been a major issue during the construction which is happening now on Walnut and the Bypass, but is also year round.

Sewer Problems (Sanitary Sewers)

Should I expect to smell shit all summer. This is ridiculous. Waves of sewer wafting through the air every once in a while, but on a pretty much daily basis.

Hello!
We still have a very bad sewer odor at 210 E. Gilbert. I first reported this issue in November, 2024. It has not been resolved. We tested the water in the creek, and the ph levels are high, indicating sewage in the water. Here is the report below. Please contact me at 812-322-7997.

My name is Jessica Will and I am a volunteer for the Adopt-A-Stream program.
I usually monitor the Griffy Lake site, but recently learned about water quality concerns in my neighborhood. So, this month, I also tested two sites along the creek running through Matlock Heights and into Cascade Park.
I believe there are strong indicators that our creek contains sewage and that sewage is being fed into Cascade Park. Please see results and observations below.
Site 1 results
pH: 8
Nitrate: 2
Nitrite: 0
Oxygen: 5
Site 2 results
pH: 9
Nitrate: 3
Nitrite: 1
Oxygen: 5
Observations
Elevated pH and nitrate levels may be indicators of sewage or other contamination.
Smells of sewage and detergent were strong at both sites.
Several manholes are placed along the stream, suggesting sewer lines run through the creek.
Please see attached image for site locations (blue pins).
I'm writing to share these results and concerns. I'm also seeking your guidance as to how to get the city involved in additional testing and potential sewage line repair.

pH: 8
Nitrate: 2
Nitrite: 0
Oxygen: 5
Site 2 results

Dogs at this address regularly leave the yard and charge at our leashed, walking dog. This has happened for months. The owners do not leave their own property to get their dogs under control, but ineffectively call them. After months of this happening I sent an email to them on July 20 (attached). This week on July 27, their gate was wide open, their dogs out, and they charged at my dog again. Again, the owner remained on his property and at a distance rather than coming out and getting his dogs.
Drainage or Runoff
331 E Glendora DR

Rain patterns are changing. My neighborhood has no storm water drainage. The water flows down from N Dunn unabated. All my neighbors and I have done remediation but the volume of water flowing across our properties has dramatically increased. All of us have experienced flooding. I have lived in my house for 21 years. I have never had a flood in my basement. I have had two in the past month. We pay every month for storm water removal in our utilities bill, but in truth all the cost has actually fallen to the home owners. Please look into this. We all feel that storm water needs to be captured at N Dunn St. I look forward to your response.
