With traffic that would normally be routing through Range Rd. now routing through the bypass, the dirt/gravel road (and large sections of Range road) are riddled with massive potholes.
Large pothole
Potholes are all over the road.

As the owner of Crazy Horse Tavern, I’ve been volunteering for downtown issues for over 25 years. One of my personal goals is to grow the tourism throughout the city for building a stronger economy. But I’m now tackling a problem related to the substantial growth in tourism. It initially seemed reasonable to allow tour busses to park on city street in front of hotels, but there a too many days where half of the available parking on the block is taken by busses. Some days,like today, it’s 100% bus parking g without a single parking space available for a visiting family or business guest in the hotel or even a customer for a downtown shop. This isn’t normal parking management. It’s not good parking management. The busses should be parked in a large lot like the convention center or Assembly Hall (IU groups) I have helped manage a lot of downtown growth issues and this one looks to be easily fixable. Thanks for any help Ron Stanhouse c812-345-1091
The dip in the road on E. Rogers Rd just west of the Sare round about is getting deeper. School buses are braking hard before going over this low spot.
Thanks to the City’s recent quick action of cutting City’s dead tree in front of our house, now it looks much better. Here we just want to give City some advise in choosing the new tree plant location. It seems to us that the dead tree stump must be removed completely in order to replace a new one in the spot, due to the underground gas and water pipelines heavily laid around the tree stump, which makes it very difficult for you to chose another new plant location. We learnt this from the opposite newly house built situation. There were so many red flags around the dead tree stump. So in order to prevent from touching those gas line and cause the gas explosion, City must do it very carefully . Thank you very much for your prompt attention.
Street light out at corner of Blue Ridge Drive and N Blue Slopes Drive
I've noticed two days in a row, the traffic "walk" lights along third street (specifically those intersecting Pete Ellis Drive, Kingston Drive, and Clarizz Blvd), buttons are unresponsive in the early mornings. I am not sure if it has something to do with the cold morning weather that these buttons might be getting "stuck" or going to sleep, or having some other electrical issues when it is cold.
There are several potholes along W Fairington Dr, S Fairington Dr, and S Rayle Pl from traffic turning off/on W Tapp Rd. The street honestly just needs to be repaved at this point.
