In front of Kroger in w 3rd street, there is a tree that has broken and is hanging into other trees but it is right above a bench, just worried that someone would sit on bench and tree would fall and injure someone
This is an all-way stop with marked stop signs and crosswalks. Unfortunately, many drivers (mostly on Winslow going East or West) do not stop at all. And there are quite a few that don't even slow down if they presume no vehicles are close enough to hit them for speeding through unabated. A few anemic attempts to place police near the intersection at haphazard intervals hasn't really had a beneficial impact. This intersection is very busy and is a frequent crossing for pedestrians and cyclists along with school children. I have seen other communities that have purchased solar powered flashing stop signs that significantly increase attention to the sign. Or, to monitor the scope of the issue, and maybe levy some tickets, can one of the mobile police observation hubs (I see them at the Seminary Square Kroger parking lot) be placed at the intersection. I don't ever feel safe coming any direction in or out of my own neighborhood. With all of the out of town students and faculty returning soon, the problem isn't going to get any better. This has been a pervasive issue for the roughly 8 years I've lived in this neighborhood.
I live north of the roundabout at Tapp Rd and Adams St. Almost every time I am entering the roundabout from the north, I am almost hit by a car coming from the west. Vehicles habitually drive very quickly into the roundabout and don't yield to traffic already in the roundabout. I often end up having to stop in the roundabout to avoid a collision, which can also be a traffic hazard. It seems that area would benefit from a speed bump for those entering the roundabout - especially from the west as they are generally travelling the fastest when coming from the highway.
New road height is significantly below curb edge (over two inches) along all of newly finished roadway on Fullerton Pike and new roundaboat but is hazard for drivers and cyclists entering and leaving Southwest public library branch. This is a very rough transition for cyclists and could cause issues as cyclists will be turning in or out while also ascending or descending over this sharp edge between surfaces.
The amount of semi tractor trailers traffic has increased. Semi’s turning from Bloomfield Rd on to Allen have to wait and block traffic for the turn while using the their lane and the center turning lane. Also they almost bother lanes of Allen St for a block or more until they get their semi straightened out. And if 2 happen to pass each on Allen st they have to crawl to not hit rub each other or take out mail boxes or trees. When they heading westbound on Allen Dr and try to get on to Bloomfield rd is an ordeal depending which way they and turn in and if they have a load. I don’t understand why something can’t be done to force them to use the truck route that was put in just for this purpose.
I believe the actual address is 300-308 Jefferson Street. A perfect example of how progress ruins a neighborhood. The lack of property management control and improper zoning along with immature and uncooperative tenants is already an eyesore and poster child for stopping further development of this ilk in Green Acres. Trash in yard, bins left by the street more than 24 hr after pickup, burn mark from open fire (previously reported and remedied). I didn't get a picture of the offensive banner displayed from an upper story window, but I will, should it reappear. Please take the appropriate action to the fullest extent possible.
Residents at 533 N Lincoln have made a trash pile on 10th Street side of their property. There is an IU home football game this weekend and hundreds of people will be driving and walking by the trash on Saturday. Not good. Can you help get the trash cleaned up?
Trash has not been taken for several weeks from complex
The protected turn arrow on Fee Lane (traffic turning westbound onto 17th Street) is not functioning. Our transit buses are required to turn left on a none protected signal, and the increase in traffic has made the turn challenging. The signal has a protected turn arrow, but it was deactivated at some point over IU's summer break.
