Dangerous tripping hazards and overgrown
Dangerous tripping hazards and overgrown
Low hanging branches from High to Eastside on 1st. Many at 10 feet scraping tall vehicles.
Absolutely disgusting. Trash, multiple animals, stuff all over the yard, 12 people living there, drugs, kids not going to school. All the neighbors are super upset that have to live near this house.
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.
One of our Adopt a Stream volunteers did some water testing in the Matlock Heights neighborhood creek. She was prompted to do so because the creek had a sewage and detergent smell to it. The two sites she tested were marked on the map and her results were: Site 1 results pH: 8 Nitrate: 2 Nitrite: 0 Oxygen: 5 Site 2 results pH: 9 Nitrate: 3 Nitrite: 1 Oxygen: 5
Gate is detached from the fence and lying on the ground.
There is inadequate bike parking at Bryan Park Pool. When I arrived on Sunday there were already multiple bikes unable to be locked to the rack because it was entirely full.
We found another used syringe at the playground next to the swings this afternoon. Luckily, we saw it just before our son stepped on/over it. We disposed of it in the garbage can. Just thought we’d report this issue as we seem to be seeing more of them.
My suggestion is there needs to be railings on these little bridges over the creek in Switchard Park. I can see kids walking on these and failing off of these bridges. Please put up a railing on these before someone gets hurt.
