Hello! I’m a resident of 639 north maple street. On my dead end street, there is an untrimmed, unofficial entrance that MANY residents of the neighborhood access on a daily basis. However, the path that has been roughly paved by passerby’s is steep, rocky, untrimmed and dangerous, especially in rain or snow. Even in the summer, it is dangerous. Children and pregnant women have issues going through here. I have tried to enter the b-line this way, but it’s too dangerous and steep for me. Anyway we can get something done for the neighborhood? We know there’s a sidewalk and safer way after the bridge on 11th to access, but out of convenience or maybe ambiance, most people enter through our dead end makeshift entrance. The makeshift entrance seems to not be in a definitive tenants yard/property. No one really knows. If someone could come check it out, that’d be great and appreciated. Thanks! - Ruth

The Rail Trail needs some work! It needs YOU to show it some love. There are some problems . . .
FIRST: Entering the Rail Trail from Country Club, the trees / shrubs at the parking lot are overgrowing into the sidewalk / path along the parking lot. You can almost not see the handicap parking sign from the overgrowth, too. The sidewalk is being impeded horizontally as well as vertically from branches hanging down.
SECOND: There are numerous low hanging branches between Country Club and Gordon Pike on the trail. On a bicycle, these require ducking or maneuvering around. This can be hazardous.
THIRD: There is a dead tree that is leaning over the trail, resting its top on another tree across the trail. That is between Country Club and Gordon Pike. This is maybe 1/3 to 1/2 a mile south of the Country Club Drive parking lot. This seems like it is ripe for falling on someone or blocking the trail, as it hangs there perilously.
FOURTH: Someone goofed and put oversized gravel on the trail to fix some holes. This gravel is not safe on the trail for multiple reasons. One reason is that it is looser than the other gravel, so it is a change in surface that can cause bikes or walkers to lose balance. Also, the gravel is bigger so it is tougher to ride or walk or run across, and could cause injuries. As a result, people swerve around it and try to avoid it. This is causing people going in one direction to impede those going in the other at times. Can we get some smaller gravel / fill that matches the existing bed of the trail put in place? Having that big gravel is a total disaster creating multiple problems. I've almost lost balance / control on my bike in that bigger gravel. It needs to be replaced ASAP.

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.

I believe this house is vacant because this trash has been here for at least the past two weeks. It is very close to the sidewalk and appears that it may have been disturbed by animals. It is at the house on the north side of 7th St, the second house west from the corner of 7th St and Dunn St.

Hello, the pictured trash can was placed in my driveway at 514 S Grant St sometime between 9am and 10:30 am this morning. It blocked me from entering my driveway and was extremely heavy to move. I'd like to return it to the proper address, but unsure where it came from. I'm guessing you have a list and can advise on how to return it to the proper address. Since school has started it seems new residents are unsure how to use the city bins. My neighbors on the northwest corner of Grant and University have kept their trashcan blocking the sidewalk for over two weeks now.

CFC owns this "Smoker's Station" outside the Alion Building next to the Ivy Tech Waldron entrance on the 100 block of S Walnut St, NW corner of 4th & Walnut. The broken pieces keep blowing around on the sidewalk, creating tripping hazards. Several weeks ago, the trash inside it caught on fire. CFC has been asked repeatedly to fix it or remove it. With the top broken off, it will keep catching on fire. Can you talk to them about getting rid of it?
