alley way behind listed property is impassible
Vehicles around the beauty supply house, Army Navy, and the Frosted Foods buildings park on the sidewalks. There is nothing that keeps cars from pulling up onto the sidewalk thus putting peds out onto the street.
Threre is a fence that extends into the alley.
Mr. Levitt called to complain about the bumper blocks moved by Don Baugh at the Sunset Tavern. He claims that the new location is in the right-of-way and he never received the City's permission to do this. He would like to see them moved back to their original location.
Mr. Salyers called and expressed concern regarding the intersection of Willis Dr. and Arlington Valley Dr. Apparently, there is only a requirement to stop 3 ways in a 4 way intersection. Mr. Salyers was informed that the City does not maintain this section of street. He was very concerned for safety of citizens, and has been sent Council Meeting Information to possibly contact the council regarding the city.
There has been a bicycle chained to a street sign for 2 years. It is never moved.
The owners of Kilroy's (Bill & Linda Prall) have Rumpke dumpsters blocking a portion of the alley, there is also a backhoe in the alley as well as other trucks. Kathy stated that they would try talking to the owner before "filing" complaint.
Ms. Epperson called to see if City cld. cut down large branches from trees that are restricting use of her driveway. Also, she noted there are electrical wires & telephone lines that the branches "knock" into, presenting a hazard to herself & others in area. She just wants the branches cut on her side, b/c she's elderly and needs to park car on drive for safety & ease. *(SPOKE TO JUSTIN WYKOFF, WHO'LL LOOK INTO THIS - AK )
Constituent (Phil Eskew, 812-327-5360) called to complain of overgrowth along the Polly Grimshaw Trail, near Eastgate Lane. I confirmed the problem with a site visit. Can crews be sent to cut back overgrowth?
The shrubs in front of the house grow too large each year and block the sidewalk. The complainant walks here frequently. He is forced to either brush up against the shrubs or walk in the grass which is often muddy.
