While Smith Road between 3rd street and Morningside is closed for construction work, Heritage Road has become a thoroughfare. Parking on the street is causing a real hazard as there is not enough room for 2 lanes of traffic. Either signs need to be posted ASAP or on the street parking must not be permitted until construction is finished. I am up visiting my mom who lives at this address. This is a hazard on many levels and it is just a matter of time before an accident happens and someone gets hurt and their vehicle gets damaged. Please turn your immediate attention to this traffic problem!
Attn. Street Dept. Need trailhead caution yellow marking to delineate area for no parking so the path is not blocked by parked cars or scooters. Parking in this area occurs often and is a hazard to trail users as well as ADA compliance concern for wheelchair residents and park visitors. Thanks for your follow up.
A citizen called in and explained that a curb in this area caused damage to their tire and has caused damage to others. She wanted to make sure it was reported. She said it was near the first speed bump on Morningside, right off Smith Road. She's already been informed of how to file a tort claim for the incident.
117 S. Heritage Rd. A friend visited this morning. I stood by my door to see her back up from my driveway, two cars approached. Those two expected she surely will yell, they just keep going, and my poor friend who can’t see through the vehicle parked on the street, just keep backing. I was holding my breath, luckily those two drivers kindly stopped and let her go first. Oh, my goodness, thanks God again. When the inspector was here, I almost offered her to sit in my 2001 Toyota Camry to take a picture. I can see everything clearly when I stand by my driveway, but when I sit in that low sit, I can’t see anything in the back of neighbor’s vehicle. Sooner or later there ought to be an accident. I just wonder who’s responsibility going to be? Why is so hard to deal with this problem? Also I noticed more cars parked along the street. We are not too far from IU, and have two bus routes to IU also. It’s closer to park here than Stadium, besides it’s free. Oh, my!
Almost to the middle of the Heritage I can see the car is coming. That’s from 3Rd street, if the car from behind the vehicle, It will come much faster without I knowing it. It is a real hazardous condition.
117 S. Heritage Rd. The picture is from the conner of my driveway. Nothing I can see all the way to the 3rd street.
The cover of one of the new boxes in the ground for the fiber optic cable is off. This makes a deep hole about 1.5 x 3 feet that a small child or dog could step into.
