The lower branches of the city oak tree in front of the property need to be trimmed. They extend into the street and obstruct vehicles.
These trash cans have remained this week for weeks. Not clear anyone is living in the house. It’s an eyesore and interferes with those of us who walk along Swain
Cars and buses regularly speed on this street, often exceeding 35 miles per hour. Due to their speed, they are unable to stop at the stop signs—including city buses. I am requesting that a speed limit sign be installed, ideally one that displays drivers’ actual speed (similar to those used in school zones). Our street and its connection to First Street have effectively become an unofficial bypass for east–west and west–east traffic, including city buses. This is a residentially zoned area with pedestrians, cyclists, children, pets, and wildlife. The sidewalks are narrow, and vehicles—especially buses—traveling at high speeds pose a serious risk. I have personally witnessed both buses and cars run stop signs, even when pedestrians, families with baby carriages, and cyclists are present. The cars/buses still don't stop and merely drive around the "obstacles." At a minimum, a visible speed limit sign should be installed—preferably one that tracks and displays speeds.
The sidewalk along Winslow Rd all along the Bentley Court neighborhood is overgrown and the stairs to access Roger’s Park are nearly impassable due to weeds. This is particularly a nuisance as the road to access the park is closed this summer so the sidewalk is the only option. I realize the stairs aren’t very accessible in general but it’s all we’ve got!

The area on the north side of Sudbury Drive, between the last Millenium driveway and Arbor Ridge Way is not being maintained, mowed, etc. by the Millemium Apartment Management. I complained to Kenny Liford in the summer of 2024. He told me he gave them a warning and that they would be fined if they did not comply. To date, they have never mowed that area since that complaint. They used to maintain it until the past 2-3 years. According to the INDOT, this area is within the city limits. The area not being maintained is along the tree conservancy, which is owned by Millenium but governed by the city.
Appears that a water line connected to a garden hose has broken at the property. In the back of the property, near the AC condenser, water has been spraying out continuously for the past 12 hours at least. Not sure if the line is secured or the property owners know about the water break.
