I sent in a concern several weeks/months ago regarding this area and nothing has been done. There are cars and trucks that park on the east side of Auto Mall Rd, especially up to the point where people leave the Smile Doctors parking area and have a difficult time pulling out as they cannot see oncoming traffic from the south side coming from the Kroger area. I believe this area was once painted with yellow no parking paint, but it is being ignored as it is worn off an no one is enforcing it. It is very frustrating and there will be an accident sometime soon! Please paint the curb immediately!

When is the broken tree that was marked for removal months ago going to be removed?

Case Date:

1/3/2022

The North/South alley between 810 W. 7th and 804 W. 7th is being encroached upon by gardens, woodpiles, trees/vegetation and possibly the fence and cinder block garage owned by 810 W 7th St. As a result, the alley traffic is being diverted outside of the alley right of way and onto the private property located at 804 W. 7th. This appears to have been going on for a number of years. As the new owner of 804 W. 7th St., it is my full intention to re-claim the property/property line currently being encroached upon and proceed with renovations. I request that the Street Dept contact the owner of 810 W. 7th and order the encroachments be removed. With the assistance of a surveyor, I have located the NW and SW corner pins delineating the right of way and pounded new T posts just outside of the right of way in those spots and plan to post the entire property line once the encroachments are removed. Were I to reclaim the property line today, the alley would become impassible due to said encroachments. I request your assistance in remedying this situation in a civil and legal manner, as requests to the homeowner of 810 W.7th have fallen upon deaf ears. I request that you keep me in the loop regarding this issue. I would be happy to meet with a representative of the street dept, with survey in hand, to assist in clarifying and remedying this issue, as renovations of 804 W. 7th will begin in a few weeks. Thank you for your attention in this manner, Sincerely, Rick Laux Goldfinch Properties LLC Van Zile LLC 812/606-8332 [email protected]

Every time it rains our street floods severely and then backs up onto the sidewalks and coats them in a thick layer of mud. It’s a combination of heavy storms that the storm drain on the corner of 12th and Walnut cannot keep up with and a residual problem caused by the fiberware that was installed last year. Ever since they dug up the corner of 12th and Walnut the ground is nothing but mud and has been slowly taking over the sidewalk. It is unsafe to walk on as it is incredibly slippery and is at least an inch thick.

Trees/shrubs are overgrown and obscure visibility. If you're heading east on Dodds and waiting to cross Walnut, you have to pull forward until you're partially in the road in order to see if traffic is clear. This issue also exists at the intersection of Dodds & Washington (heading east) - you can't see if anyone is coming on that one-way road (or if anyone is about to cross the crosswalk) unless you pull all the way forward. This is especially dangerous because the stop sign itself is almost always obscured by a tree branch.

Road rage incident experienced and called into BPD for Indiana license plate #TP9081 as we waited for 4 vehicles to go across this terrible disconnected jaunt. The reported vehicle went to play chicken with us and refused to move and passenger got out of vehicle all to come yell expletives at us and say they aren’t moving….. all this to say because a new section of sidewalk was poured and not repainted yellow so another vehicle was parked there and taking up that drivers lane while ours was clear. Please get this corrected and actually continue to paint lines and yellow no parking to prevent unnecessary rage incidents for just driving in this town. Absolutely asinine.

a tree limb has fallen and is resting on a power line. Fear of it either breaking the powerline or falling on top of a car at a random moment.
