Near corner of Woodlawn/Atwater: alley that exits onto Woodlawn between Subway/apartment bldg. and rental house is dangerous. Shrubs on corner of Subway/apartment bldg. completely block the line of sight for drivers pulling out of this alley onto Woodlawn. Nothing can be seen that is approaching from the north and heading south. Have to pull car partially into the roadway to see if anything is coming. This is a heavily used alley due to an IU parking lot, IU office building and student housing rentals whose parking can only be accessed through the alley. And the area, itself, is active. This is even more dangerous to pedestrians/bikes/scooters. We cannot see them approaching and THEY CANNOT SEE US, either. It was bound to happen sooner or later and could have ended in injury or death. Yesterday I almost hit a jogger who was heading south on the sidewalk as I was trying to pull out onto Woodlawn. I couldn’t see him approaching due to the shrubs. He also could not see me! The shrubs completely blocked his line of sight and he couldn’t see that a car was approaching. The city has known about this for at least two years and hasn’t done anything to address it. My colleagues and I have tried repeatedly to have this fixed. Three cases were found in my search, but I know that there are more because this has been ongoing for longer than two years. Case #161202, 9/18/17, second half of complaint reported this. The case was closed with no mention of it having been addressed. Case #164914, 6/21/18, and case #167848, 3/21/19, are both still open. With neither showing any update that this is being addressed. Why? How can this be left unattended for so long? A whole year for case #164914! At some point there is going to be a tragedy here and it’ll be on the city for not having addressed this after multiple hazard reports.
A lot of weeds and grass growing up along curb and unkempt planter.
Car is parked at end of apartment parking lot blocking alley that crosses through behind Woodlawn and Atwater.
Sign without permit in round about. There is a second sign on the west side of round about on Moore’s pike and Renwick Blvd. this sign is on the north side.
I just saw a black pickup truck with its bed overflowing with Bird scooters, seemingly not held down by anything, driving rather recklessly considering it could fling scooters into the road at any moment. I’m assuming this truck was being driven by one of Bird’s chargers.
There are two massive potholes between Jump N Joey's and Curry Pike before you turn right on Curry Pike.
The left turn arrows for E. Moores Pike onto S. College and S. Sare cycle to short which causes traffic to back up both hills, to the round-about and to the movie theatre entrance. Then cars run the red once it goes green for College and Sare.
Sign without permit
Yield sign flattened on the south entrance to the Sare and Rogers Roads roundabout this morning.
