There are a lot of kids in the area that are playing in the street, but there are no signs indicating that they are out there. He said that there are many issues with people speeding down the road and his children have had close calls with vehicles. They are asking for kid or speed warning signs to be placed on this street to mitigate the traffic.
Sidewalk work is currently happening on Laura Way and I'm wondering if the city can install a sidewalk connecting Jennifer 1063 and 1059? We have a lot of young kids on our street right now and the bus stop is right past that section. It would be nice if the kids didn't have to walk on the street during htat busy time. I think 1063 is a double lot and so the developer never finished the sidewalk. There are some trees that I don't think anyone would want to cut down, but perhaps the sidewalk can be installed a bit closer to the curb through that section? Also, I live at 1044 and we have one section of the sidewalk that is raised due to tree roots. It's unclear if they are roots from a tree on our property or roots from a tree on city property. Could the city fix that as part of this project? There is also a water hookup very close to this spot so I'm not sure how complicated this would be. It's not a terrible issue, but bumpy enough to make pushing a stroller or using a scooter a bit precarious.
World food market has signage in row again. Always in tree area as well. Hurts street trees as well.
Neighbor construction project to fill in his pool has caused dirt to be left in the street multiple times. Needs cleaned up. On going problem. Has left mud to be all over street.
After making a purchase (at 11:41:55am 1/10/25 according to the receipt) at World Foods Market I left and continued on foot to Kroger. Before reaching the corner with Walnut street I slipped and fell on the the sidewalk north of World Food Market's west parking lot, next to where they park their van. Some of their sidewalk is very well cleared, but the part north of the west parking lot is inadequately treated (and the sidewalk to the west of the west parking lot, as well).
Caller to HAND reports that there is trash (old doors, windows, etc) piling up against the garage of the property. It has been there since last summer.
Caller 812-322-8210 said that the grass was too high and the LOS was obstructed pulling out of S Huntington Dr onto E Hillside Dr.
People consistently drive like maniacs exiting town from West Kirkwood Avenue heading west. At all hours of the day, including the evening and middle of the night, I hear people revving their engines like they’re on a racetrack—on a residential street. Considering there’s a school zone less than a half-mile down the road from where I live, it seems like there should either be better enforcement or more traffic-calming infrastructure in place.
CVS has installed super bright new lights. We think they are breaking the city code that limits foot candles projected onto a neighbors property. We are immediately beside them and their lights are lighting up our yard and house. I have included an image from the middle of my back yard with only one of their new lights on. They are installing a dozen others along our property, 8 in goose necks, 2 others on the side of the building and 2 other pole lights! We are going to be lit up to the point where we won't be able to sleep at night. Can the city do something about this?
