GRAVEL AND UTILITY TRUCKS ARE LEFT ON THIS STREET WHEN THE CREW ISN'T WORKING HERE. THE GRAVEL DUST CAUSES A MESS. HER CAR IS DIRTY, AND SHE CAN'T OPEN HER WINDOWS BECAUSE IT GETS HER HOUSE DIRTY.
The residents at 925 S. Ballantine had a contractor make a street cut across Ballantine. The cut is sinking in and has become dangerous.
Address approx. for entry. Street Dept. received a phone call from citizen regarding a street cut that has caved in on Atwater between fess and Henderson.
Citizen says construction crew was jackhammering street at 8am at Lincoln & University, a few feet away from her (and other) car. Dust and chunks of asphalt are all over her car. She thinks that no parking signs should have been posted if they were going to work this close to cars. Street Dept. thinks this was an Indiana Gas crew.
White City pickup w/seal and employee on riding mower with blade tipped up on side were working in the area trimming and cutting bushes late this am. Bushes shouldn't be trimmed this way w/mower because of flying debris. Citizen says they whacked up the pine tree in her yard. Also, they left their debris behind and didn't clean it up. If her tree was posing a problem she would have taken care of it -- it shouldn't have been whacked up like this. Someone should have notified her.

Concerned that street sweepers miss the edges of the roads next to curbs, especially in her area where there is a slight drop off along 2nd street between the pavement and the curb. She has cleaned up 22 bags of sand in her block and will have them removed, but wants to know if there is somewhere that citizens can take the sand if they clean it up themselves. Is there a pile somewhere that they can add to?
THERE IS BAGS OF TRASH SITTING IN THE SIDE YARD. THERE IS ALSO TRASH THAT IS OUT OF THE BAGS.
Residents leaving trash cans on the sidewalk all the time. Ms. Craig is unsure who the trash cans belong to; possibly 1017 E. 1st St. or 1015 E. 1st St., which is a rental property (unregistered).
Illegal dumping (trash) in commercial dumpster behind K & S Country Market. Dumpster will not be emptied until Friday.
