Please post an update on the Vernal Pike/Seventeenth Street project. Seventeenth Street was closed in April 2019 and was to be reopened in November 2019. When will the street be opened?
There is a loose cord from one end of the building in the grass to the “office” unit of the apartment complex. This presents a personal safety hazard to myself and my animal.
Jarred from the mayors office called to say the alley behind Kilroys (on 9th st) is a mess from the houses behind Kilroys.
Resident reports excessive trash buildup and trash strewn across properties at Dollar General and CVS Pharmacy off of South Walnut. Resident has contacted both companies and was told to call the Office of the Mayor.
This is only one of the dumpsters currently at the limestone crossing apartments. We have called the limestone crossing office multiple times the past 2 months regarding how disgusting the dumpster is, I myself am to scared to even walk in there to throw away trash out of fear of bed bugs possibly being in there from the furniture. I am unsure who to reach out to about this issue.
I was traveling east on 10th St. and got into the right-hand turn lane (with turn signal on) to turn right/south on Smith Road. As I turned right, a car facing north on Smith Road turned left to head west on 10th St. and did not see an oncoming car and the eastbound car on 10th street had to brake quickly to avoid an accident...stopping within a few feet of the turning car. With the new traffic light at the Post Office intersection on 10th st, GPS is routing more people east/west on 10th street to/from Smith Rd and more locals are also using this route. This is turning an already dangerous intersection more dangerous. Turning left off smith onto 10th street requires timing to avoid a car coming east around the curve on east 10th street...and the same for turning left onto Smith off 10th street. Please consider a stop light at this intersection. Thank You.
Three weeks ago, I was riding my bike west on 7th St in the bicycle lane as a car entered from Indiana Ave into the bike lane. I had to stop my bike and lift it over the curb to get around the car that was impeding both lanes of the bike lane. This is not my first experience with cars in the 7th St bike lane. Please install a post or bollard at the protected bicycle lane entrances to discourage cars from entering it. This is a simple, easy to install, and low cost solution. I don't understand why it wasn't installed in the first place.
The traffic on West Third Street is consistently HORRID. The timing of the traffic lights desperately needs to be changed. Especially around peak times, like morning rush, noon-ish, and 5:00pm, traffic is so backed up and the traffic lights are so poorly timed that barely two or three cars are making it through a single light. What should be a 15 minute drive to-and-from work for me (even with some normal peak traffic factored in) but it usually takes about 45 minutes. PLEASE have someone from your department attempt to drive from downtown to the West side of town via W. 3rd street so you can see first-hand how awful it is and how poorly timed the lights are. It doesn't make sense for one light to turn green if the light ahead of it is still red and the cars are completely backed up. Nobody can go anywhere! My car has overheated a few times from remaining stagnant for so long. Please have someone do something about this and PLEASE have someone from your office try it out for themselves during a peak traffic time. It is unbelievable and ridiculous and needs to be adjusted.
Road Construction sign has been run over or blown over...supporting pole is bent and sign is laying down/wedged in with light pole and parking sign on United Commerce Bank parking lot...on 3rd street between College and Walnut. Someone here tried to right the sign but the post is bent and could not be set right. Needs to be removed/reinstalled?
There is a metal post with a sign on the train tracks right at the intersection of Indiana Ave and 13th St that looks very frail. In the past wind advisory situations we have had in the city, anytime the wind hit the post, that post sounded as if the wind could dislodged it violently from the base and the sign at the top could fly off into near-by buildings, it even sounded horribly loud as the sign does not seem to be securely attached to the post. When that happened I called 9-1-1 to let them know and asked them to contact whoever is in charge of the tracks for them to look into that by securing that post. However, nothing happened. Tonight, with the tornado watch and the very strong winds we are having, it's the same situation with the post. Because of that, I called the Indiana Railroad Company's emergency number and they said they would email someone but that that would take some time and they were not sure they would get to it that night since they were also in tornado watch.
