Kathy Curry left a voice message for me on 10/2/14 saying she has concerns about the drainage system going through her yard and how it's retaining water. She wants to make an appointment to discuss it.
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?
Mr. Walls is very happy that sand on the streets is removed once not needed, especially for children riding bikes etc., but he wonders why the city doesn't "filter/screen" it to recycle it for use during the rest of the winter season? He noted the method of "screening" for re-use - has street dept. considered this? He thinks it would be more cost-effective. If screening for re-use is NOT feasible, could sand be recycled for use as "fill material" for other city projects (Utilities dept.)?
Alison Donway (812-822-1599)requested that the south side of the intersection of Highland and 2nd St be swept. It holds water and dirt, sand, and debris piles up in this area.
Mr. Clayton's sister, Florence called for him. He says that when we do snow removal we push all the snow and sand into his flower bed and that this can be avoided. There's a big pile of sand there now and he wants to know if we'll remove it. Also says we picked up everyone's leaves this year except his.
Resident reports asphalt from cul-de-sac and other debris which she gathered and placed at the curb on her property, requests pickup and cautions that debris is heavy.
Resident reports branches were cut down at the edge of her property several days ago and that they have remained on the curb since that time.
Paint flakes from the live burn, on the driveway, yard, and patio. Spans about half-a-mile, and the neighbor has tested it and found that there is lead in the flakes.
