We had graffiti tagged on our building at 116 N. Walnut st. The word V.A.I.N was tagged on the building in 3 different places. The graffiti has already been painted over, just wanted to report it since several places have been tagged.
Graffiti on West side of the Headley RD bridge just South of the Lake Griffy Boathouse (3400 N Headley RD). It should be a simple fix. The graffiti is more visible from the water than the bridge.
There is a very large recent graffiti tag on the west wall of the railroad underpass that needs to be painted over asap. I understand there is a special crew that handles graffiti. There is also graffiti on the East wall and on the east and west walls of the underpass directly east on Walnut St.
Graffiti on traffic sign (Dead End) on NE corner of intersection 12th and Lincoln.
Graffiti on stone retaining wall close to intersection Grant and 12th. Writing is visible from Grant Street. Not sure if City is responsible for the retaining wall or the property owner.
Graffiti is covering the warehouse that is on Fairview, directly across the street from Extreme Auto Detailing. (their building also has graffiti on it. Warehouse is directly north of the B-line on the East side of Fairview street. Started with one tag and now it is getting worse each day. Can the city get the property owner to remove this mess please?

Real Estate sign at Sasse rd and southern Oaks drive, violation of city rules
"Eat up kids" on a wall across from Le Petit Cafe. Warehouse building on B-Line has "Philandro" written on it as well. Unsure if one or both of these is private property.
The graffiti on the west wall of the College Ave railroad trestle is OUT OF CONTROL. It must be painted over or removed ASAP. What happened to the policy of removing or painting over graffiti as soon as it is seen and reported? Our former mayor Tomi Allison instituted this policy and it works because the criminals know their defacement will be removed or painted over before it has it's intended gang communication or political statement effect. College Ave is a street which gives a first impression to visitors, IU parents and students and countless others. Railroad trestle walls (like the one on East 10th Street just past Union St. that I complained multiple times about) are prime targets for graffiti criminals (public and private defacement is against the law) and must be dealt with by the citizens and police being alert and reporting incidents of it.
