The city did a storm drain project last week and left a large bag of conrete waste on the sidewalk. They removed signage related to construction. People use electric wheelchairs, strollers, carts, etc. often on Blair, but now they can't on the east side of the street, and there's no signage to warn people to cross the sidewalk before the obstacle. It's been like this all week - is it possible for the city to remove the (very heavy!) bag of waste concrete?
The alley-way behind the salvation army and the brown house next to it has discarded lumber and overgrowth blocking access to & from the alleyway.
I'm not sure if you are aware, but they are resurfacing Washington and that makes this the PERFECT opportunity to do something here that makes sense, ie: not paint a line and say it's for bikes and hope/pretend that cars don't park in it, because they will. The easiest and most obvious solution is to do nothing, or at most paint a "sharrow". Simple fact is: a car can't block a bike lane if it isn't there.
The one section of sidewalk is below the other two adjoining sections creating difficulty for those with mobility problems as well as older people. It is hazardous for those with vision problems who might not be able to discern the sudden in drop.

Over growth of weeds
On Saturday, August 2, 2025, we went downtown to have lunch with friends. We parked on the north side of E. 4th Street a half block past Indiana Avenue. I stepped out of the car on the passenger side and stepped into a grass covered hole approximately 5 inches deep by 25 inches across . It had been mowed in such a manner to make it appear that the ground was level. I sustained a sprained left ankle plus a fracture of lateral malleolus of left fibula. I will be in an air cast for an indeterminate amount of time followed by physical therapy. I could only attach one photo, but, we took several more photos of the area. Was the City notified of this area before August 2nd? If not, you are now on notice and hopefully the hole can be filled in before someone else is injured.
