To Whom It May Concern: I'm writing regarding recycling collection. On a few occasions during the past few months, including today, we have not had recycling picked up. I suspect that it's because our cans have been moved together since we put them out. My wife and I are well aware of the regulations that the recycling and trash cans must be separated on the street. On Sunday evenings, we put the cans out separated by at least six feet, as was the case last night. I came home from work today to find that the recycling was not picked up. Our trash can was moved adjacent to it. I'm not sure if it's because the trash pick up has set our can back too close, if it gets moved when the can falls over into the street when placed back, or if people are moving our cans because they want to park on the block, but this is a problem. I find this regulation of can separation extremely frustrating when we comply with the rules when we put our cans out only to have our recycling not picked up. Please reconsider how this system works. We simply don't have the luxury of time to sit and watch our cans until both have been picked up. We now have a bin full of recycling that will sit for another week with more accumulation occurring and nowhere to put it. We comply with the rules and should not be stuck in these situations simply because the system is too inflexible to handle adjacent bins that get moved after we put them out. Sincerely, Brian Kelly

You may already know this but there is 1 or 2 new potholes in the 700 block of E Maxwell Lane. They will probably get worse if not addressed. Thank You

I use this route to take my children to school every single day of the week. I have noticed that if a vehicle is turning left from either direction off of E 10th Street they usually have to wait for oncoming traffic that is going straight through the light. This backup undoubtedly causes panic and frustration in drivers trying to make it to work or school in time because the line can be quite long. The solution for most drivers that I've noticed is to go straight through the light utilizing the Right Only turn lane. It doesn't take a genius to realize what can happen when someone unexpectedly blows through an intersection. The other issue is if the car turns left then you have 2 cars simultaneously going straight through an area that is meant to be one car. Today alone I watched 4 cars use the right lane one after another and almost cause a multi-car crash. This is especially dangerous because this area has a high volume of pedestrians feet away who are trying to make it to classes at IU. I have personally witnessed and almost been part of more accidents going in both directions at this intersection than anywhere in my entire life. I would like to offer some solutions rather than just complain. 1. Have a designated left turn lane instead of a right turn that people will inevitably blow through. 2. Add a left turn signal so one car don't hold up all of the traffic on that entire road causing people to get upset. 3. If you don't want to do either of those then at least install a sign that states the right turn lane is ONLY for right turns because people obviously don't understand what an arrow on the ground means. 4. Post a police officer here for about a week and I bet you'll see some changes. He is going to be busy though with all of the traffic violations witnessed. I would generally not even give this a second thought, but I travel this road everyday with my children to and from school. It is actually mind blowing how many close call accidents I have witnessed at this exact spot. Please look into this matter for the safety and well-being of your community. Thank you for listening and have a great day!
