The overgrowth onto the trail here at the B-Line / Rail Trail and Country Club Road parking is a serious issue. It is heavily obscuring the right of way on the sidewalk. This evening, with this pickup truck and its shin-buster hitch backed up, the trail was just about impassable on a bicycle. Can this get cleaned up??? I know this has been reported multiple times before and no work has been done to clean up the overgrowth.
There is an invasive vine, possibly grapevine, that is pushing over plants bordering a city sidewalk and at time obstructing the walk. I have cut it back several times; most recently a few weeks ago. Would the city or someone else be able to get rid of the vine and/or cut the greenery farther away from the sidewalk. The sidewalk borders a marsh and is right across from the pond on Tapp, on Adams Hill Circle.
There is a big piece of steel rebar sticking out of the sidewalk near the eastern entrance to 2427 E 2nd Street. It's become a safety issue for cars and pedestrian as many kids walk through there to get to the elementary school. Unsure if since it's an IU office if it's IU property? Thank you for investigating and potentially resolving.
Another mailbox was hit on Allendale Dr. in Sherwood Oaks neighborhood near the corner of Allendale and Dunstan. This is the 2nd time this mailbox has been hit by a distracted driver in the last month. I live on the corner of Allendale and Dunstan and have witnessed countless drivers fly through the stop sign. This is also a city bus stop as well as my child's school bus stop. I am now in fear of letting my children use the sidewalk to walk to the little library, the park, and friend's homes. We shouldn't have to worry about this in our neighborhood. Many kids, adults, and pets use these sidewalks every day and shouldn't feel scared or worried that they are in danger. My neighbors dog was hit and killed last year at this 4 way stop. Let's do something before another pet or person gets hurt.
Overgrowth into sidewalk causing partial blockage.
The issue is a fire hydrant on 4319 Cricket Knoll Dr. in Gentry Estates. While it doesn't really look like it sticks out that much from the sidewalk (you'll see by the attached photos) as there is a cutout. But if you're blind and your can sway your cane under it and you're moving over to avoid the tree branch, then you can actually not know it's there. The complainant has hit it with the side of his leg three times and has fallen to the sidewalk.

On 6/13 a community member tripped and fell on uneven sidewalk on Sare Road, somewhere between between the Olcott Park path and East Canada Drive. This was during a Parks & Recreation Walking Club event. The sidewalk in this area has some raised, very uneven sections in several places. The woman who fell bruised her knee and hands and had to be driven home, she was unable to finish the planned walk.
