IU "Trident" logo has been incorporated into the roof design of 817 N. Washington, a rental house managed by "Cream and Crimson" properties (a small local company that is not affiliated with the University.) Is this a violation of any City signage ordinances (size, placement, trademark infringement, etc.)? It is unsightly.

Griffin Realty "For Sale" sign has been placed in the City right-of-way in front of this house. Company has been contacted about the issue, but they have hitherto arrogantly dismissed the situation. Sign should be located on south side of sidewalk on the actual property being offered for sale, not in the City right-of-way that makes the sign visible for several blocks.
"For Rent" sign in ROW along 12th Street. Company is "Cream and Crimson".
See case #204983. That one was for a "For Rent" sign put up by Brawley in the ROW in front of 508 N. Washington. Apparnetly, they have been informed but they have done nothing about it and the sign remains after a month. Now, "Cedarview" (+ "10th & College") has done the same thing - signs in the ROWs all over town. Lincoln/10th, for example, but others downtown. The question is: since these signs have been left on public property, are they considered trash? And if so, can anyone just pick them up and toss them in a dumpster? Give us permission to do that and we will be happy to take care of them as residents and not wait the weeks (months!) for HAND or Planning to address the issue with the perpetrators.
Missing street sign from NE corner of Cottage Grove and Washington.
There is a new apartment complex, located near the corner of E. Cottage Grove Ave. and N. Walnut Street. Tenants are leaving the parking lot and exiting onto Cottage Grove Ave. Cottage Grove is a one way heading west. They proceed to head the east on Cottage Grove, and as they then approach N. Washington Street they turn without stopping because there is no stop sign. Afraid there may be a wreck, requesting remedy.
Can 12th street be made into a one-way? It is too narrow with the street parking for East and West traffic. I see frequent traffic jams and near miss accidents when cars try to squeeze past each other.
A tenant in this house regularly drives the wrong way on 11th Street. To get to the parking spot in back, the approach should be from Washington (from the west) but instead she takes what she has decided is a convenient shortcut from Lincoln. This has caused near collisions multiple times with pedestrians who are walking on 11th street (which for some reason has no sidewalks in this block). Each time, she flippantly squeals, "Oh, sorry!" as if she didn't know better, even though she has been given a talking to about this several times. It is clearly marked "One Way" towards the east. Can the police give someone a ticket for something they did not actually witness? What is the best approach when entitled undergraduates regularly violate traffic regulations because they are inconsiderate, selfish, and feel the rules don't apply to them? This is a Chickering rental.
Identical to issue #188757. New tenants at this address are driving the wrong way on 11th to get to their parking spot. Please ask them to obey the "One-Way" signs and approach from either Washington or the alley, and not drive west along 11th from Lincoln. Pedestrians are not expecting a car to turn directly into their path, and because there are no sidewalks, people on foot must walk on the street. Also, there is a large spruce on the SW corner of Lincoln/11th that completely blocks the view of possible oncoming drivers, there is a real possibility that someone could get run over at this location or another vehicle driving in the correct direction on 11th will suffer a head-on. The vehicle observed most recently was a grey Hyundai Sonata with Pennsylvania plates. It then pulled into and parked behind (on the south side) of this house.
