Blocked Sidewalk
2000 E Wexley RD
- Case Date:
- 7/17/2020
Sidewalk here at the NE corner of High & Winslow is overgrown again, making access to the Jackson Creek Trail difficult for families with strollers, kids on bikes, etc. This has been an ongoing issue for several summers now. Can you please find a permanent resoution to keep this pathway clear and accessible?
Sewer Problems (Sanitary Sewers)
2840 S Brookside DR

- 7/17/2020
My sewer has been backing up in my basement for several weeks. Roto Rooter came out to identify the problem. They found that my line is "party line" and is attached to my neighbor's line. The lines meet in his driveway and my line crosses through his front yard (see photos). Our houses were built in 1962. I know talking to the plumbers that this is illegal. To make it better, my neighbor is deceased (died in November) and the house is a foreclosure. No family is wanting responsibility for the house. We tried to call the bank to see what to do. The driveway and front yard will need to be dug up to move and replace the pipe. Who can I speak to to discuss how to proceed with this and (honestly) who will help pay for it?

Can you clarify if smoking is allowed at the new switchyard park? We were there last night to play Bocce, and a large group was congregating (ant not playing Bocce) on the courts, smoking. There was another group smoking in the shelter near the splash pad.
If smoking is not allowed, will there be any enforcement?

I have plumbers at my house now doing extensive digging to resolve a backup in the main sewer line. They believe the blockage is within city jurisdiction. We have had sewage spewing into our shower and the toilet won't flush the last 24 hours
Sidewalk & Curb Complaints
3424 S Forrester ST

This section of sidewalk on the west side of Sare Rd between Rogers and the SOCC parking lot entrance has been missing for years. It impedes mobility for persons with mobility disabilities and could cause a problem for someone with limited sight. I suspect that Vectren removed the sidewalk and didn't replace it.
Thanks, John
Parks & Playgrounds

People using the field at RCA Park as a dog park; two bully-breed dogs off leash. Owners were smoking on park grounds and did not pick up dog feces. The dogs were not in an enclosed area and at one point ran onto the playground where there were small children playing. This was extremely unsafe. Dog owners drive a large red ford truck with black trim. License plate CBL917. Please investigate so these people know not to do this again. I fear for the safety of the people who visit the park. Thank you!
Drainage or Runoff

There is often a fairly substantial amount of water flowing down the street on Wilson St (between Palmer St and Grant St). I'm not sure where it comes from, but it seems out of place.
Excessive Growth

- Case Date:
- 7/18/2020
Previous post closed without being fixed. There is excessive growth/weeds coming out of the street between sidewalks and road itself making our city look trashy and not maintained. Incident was closed bc “they wernt blocking sidewalk.” That is irrelevant. I would like to know who closed the last complaint. Tax paying citizens are paying for the streets and sidewalks to be maintained.
Parking on Unimproved Surface

Neighbors continue to have their guests park wherever the fuck they want. Parked in the shared alley/drive, forcing traffic into MY LAWN. They also have a big truck parked on their front lawn(so that's two counts of parking on an unimproved surface). Please do something about this...
