Trails

Case Date:
8/12/2024

Hi, I am hoping you can forward this to the appropriate person to address this concern. This weekend I was biking with my son, going east on 1st St and entering Rogers-Binford campus by the playground. We were approaching the trail connection at the end of 1st street east of High St and I was largely focused on the road because it's a bit bumpy there. At the last second I realized there was a metal chain stretched halfway across the trail. I was able to slam on my brakes and skid to a stop, but it was quite a close call. The chain is not particularly visible and wasn't there the last time we went through. We came very close to getting hurt, and it seems likely that someone will get hurt if it stays as is. Someone going through at night is going to be in for a rough surprise. I understand you probably put the vertical post on a tire in the middle of the trail to discourage cars from driving through there and that seems fine, but please (please!) don't stretch a chain across the trail. Or if there's some critical reason that the chain is there, then at least hang a bunch of large bright flags from it or something. Thank you! - RS

Potholes, Other Street Repair

Case Date:

It would be nice if there was a 'Utility Cut' sign on E First Street, warning motorists for the one cut at 1113 E First and the other one near the intersection of First and Ballantine. Unless you plan to pave them today.

Potholes, Other Street Repair

About ticket #192627. You closed it with the comment that the contractor has filled the hole. The contractor has half-filled it with gravel that is quickly being scattered as folks park with a wheel in the hole. The hole is growing, and is a hazard. It hasn't been filled. Thank you,

Street & Traffic Signs

Case Date:

The stop light at High Street and 2nd street is very long. At 5:50 in the morning, with very, very little traffic, it is a waste of time and gasoline. Can it be changed to flashing yellow until 7:00 a.m., please?

Hello! On the northeast corner of 9th and Indiana Ave. there is a two foot (or more?) deep hole right next to the sidewalk. It appeared a month ago during some construction. The hole is deep enough that it could cause serious injury should someone accidentally step in it. This coming weekend is IU Homecoming and Indiana Ave. sidewalk will be heavily trafficked. If access to the pipes in the hole is still needed, a simple cone or caution tape could go along way to prevent injury. Thank you so much for your great work caring for out City!

Blocked Sidewalk

Case Date:
10/23/2024

theres a path connecting maple heights to tri north middle school along the south property line of 917 N Maple. about a month ago someone came with a large side-deck mower and cleared the wildflowers that were not obstructing the path. but they did nothing about the things that *were* obstructing the path! this job requires shovels, shears, and elbow grease. will the city clear the path? I understand these paths are in a grey area and I'd appreciate it if you update this ticket with the info about whichever dept accepts the duty. thanks!!

I work in the office at mccsc transportation. Bus drivers are asking if trees/bushes can be trimmed at the railroad tracks just past W 10th St on N Adams St to help with their visibility. They're not able to see clearly when stopping there. Thank you for your help.
