Good Morning,
Today, right around 8:15 give or take a couple of minutes I was attempting to park in the Poplars Garage on 6th st. I came up Grant from 3rd St and turned right. There was no signage displayed stating that the road was closed, no sign out saying be prepared to stop, though I did see a sign peaking out from behind some equipment, but it was not set out and not visible.
There was a concrete mixer in the middle of the road, but before I could try to turn around more cars pulled in behind me because that's when the majority of people arrive and this garage is very busy.
I waited and waited. No one said anything, a guy waved a finger at me indicating it would be a minute, but we all sat there for over 15 minutes, unable to find an alternative parking spot, unable to do anything at all.
Now, I have to stay late to try and make up the lost time, all because of this road being blocked. If I had known it was closed, if proper signage had been displayed, I would have driven to another parking area. I am incredibly frustrated. There were at least a dozen cars that pulled in to the garage behind me that I saw as I parked, so I know the street must have been backed up as well, possibly in multiple directions. I have absolutely no doubt that there were several people just like me who know have to make up lost time because they were unable to get to work to clock in even though they were a matter of feet from their destination.
I would greatly appreciate it if you would express to this crew, that if they are going to block the road, signage should be displayed at that 4 way stop so that cars don't get stuck trying to access an inaccessible parking garage. And they should avoid blocking that area at all between 8-9AM and 4-5 if at all possible.
I've spoken with many people who have had a similar experience. Everyone is trying to be patient, but this is getting ridiculous.
Thank you for taking the time to read my complaint.

The underbrush on Headley o the second elbow turn by the IU golf course needs to be cleared so that folks can see who is coming. With all the summer traffic to the lake, it has become dangerous. Joyce Poling

This is on Oolitic Drive at 14th and Oolitic with no One lane warning signs on a blind hill. This area is already limited due to cars that are not driveable blocking half the street the issue gets worse as the day goes on.

14th and Lindbergh has a Ford Taurus and Mercedes parked causing issues for the construction crew. Both cars seemed to be non driveable and haven’t moved in months. This is causing an issue with us having to use another street and we have to make a turn into the sight that’s not doable with the large trucks.

There is a very large and low-hanging tree branch at the intersection of Wilson and Rogers - it is blocking the view (i.e., in order to turn onto Rogers from Wilson) and it is also even blocking pedestrians walking on the sidewalk.

today, Aug 4th, two vehicles were parked on the bike path just south of the woodlawn shelter where a party is taking place. I rode my bike up the party and asked them to move their cars since they were very obviously blocking the bike path and there was a very large parking lot across the stree within view! The city must replace the ballard that was once there but destroyed by some ramming it several years ago. The peope did eventually remove their vehicles.

Hi! This vehicle has been parked on West 6th Street just east of Pine Street, without moving once, since at least July 1, so now 5 weeks and counting. The owner seems to be trying to sell the vehicle (see poster on window) and in the meantime while attempting to do so has abandoned it on our street. The vehicle is taking up a parking spot next to our house. Could you please ticket and/or tow this vehicle? Thank you very much.
