Water Utility Problems
Grease Pit

- 6/18/2019
Nikole Smith update: I have reapplied to Perry Township trustee because of denial because of lack of communication from landlord. Also CAP has denied assistance. I have been referred to Trinity Episocopal Church for assistance and was told to contact them again in the morning. I have went to the courthouse to file a claim for lack of communication and negligence to compromise a conclusion for payment. I am currently unemployed but have a job offer but it is still in process for background check, and etc before monetary compensation. I do apologize for the inconveniences, and I am doing my best to resolve this matter.

At the corner of Wilton and Greenbriar Lane, the sidewalk goes around the corner without going to the street. There are many kids from Beechwood Manor, Arden Place, and Greenbriar Hills neighborhoods who use this sidewalk to get to the crosswalk on High Street at the Wimbledon initersection on their way to Child's elementary.

One week ago, people were laying internet cable in our neighborhood. They left last Friday, but there are still sizeable holes in the streets, each of which is an injury and lawsuit waiting to happen. My yard has a hole in the grass and a pile of dirt. There are no covers for these holes, and they are very dangerous for kids and adults (its a walk-to-school route). This work was carried out with no notice to the households, and they left it unfinished with no safety precautions. I live at 1011 S. Greenwood Ave. This photo is of one the holes at the corner of Rose and Dexter, which I have to avoid while biking to work. It's about 10" across. Can you make sure that these holes are covered and that the dirt in my yard is cleared up? Thanks.
Blocked Sidewalk
Greenwood Avenue

The connecting footpath between Greenwood Avenue and Southdowns is blocked by honeysuckle. My daughter was knocked off her bike yesterday. I have written to the council about this problem in previous years. Perhaps the honeysuckle could be cut back more significantly, or this could be put on a regular maintenance rotation? This is part of the 'safe routes to school' in the neighborhood, so trimming before the school start would be great. It's a quick job. Thank you!
Parks & Playgrounds
Griffy Lake Nature Preserve
- Case Date:
- 5/8/2019
I've noticed the systematic cutting of the wild grape vines throughout the Griffy Nature Preserve. These are native Indiana plants used as food by wildlife, not an alien invasive species. Why are these being cut from the nature preserve? Shouldn't this area be allowed to remain as wild as possible?

There are pieces of glass on a portion of Trail 2 at Griffy Lake. I attached a screenshot of the AllTrails map and highlighted the portion of the trail where we noticed it. It feels oddly intentional… there are at least three different types of glass (green, brown, and clear), all pieces are all relatively small, and they are spread out pretty evenly. I unfortunately did not take a picture of any of the glass. I also did not continue on that portion of the trail to know if the issue is more extensive.
