I've noticed the systematic cutting of the wild grape vines throughout the Griffy Nature Preserve. These are native Indiana plants used as food by wildlife, not an alien invasive species. Why are these being cut from the nature preserve? Shouldn't this area be allowed to remain as wild as possible?
There are two large ground bee nests, both on the north side of the lake. Going from the dam to the boathouse, the first one is about 100 yards past the dam on the left-hand side. The second one is just passed the large bench and the nest is on both sides of the trail there.
The connecting footpath between Greenwood Avenue and Southdowns is blocked by honeysuckle. My daughter was knocked off her bike yesterday. I have written to the council about this problem in previous years. Perhaps the honeysuckle could be cut back more significantly, or this could be put on a regular maintenance rotation? This is part of the 'safe routes to school' in the neighborhood, so trimming before the school start would be great. It's a quick job. Thank you!
One week ago, people were laying internet cable in our neighborhood. They left last Friday, but there are still sizeable holes in the streets, each of which is an injury and lawsuit waiting to happen. My yard has a hole in the grass and a pile of dirt. There are no covers for these holes, and they are very dangerous for kids and adults (its a walk-to-school route). This work was carried out with no notice to the households, and they left it unfinished with no safety precautions. I live at 1011 S. Greenwood Ave. This photo is of one the holes at the corner of Rose and Dexter, which I have to avoid while biking to work. It's about 10" across. Can you make sure that these holes are covered and that the dirt in my yard is cleared up? Thanks.
No trash collection, Monday 8/18/2025. Trash bins still in the street in the evening
There is a traffic circle here that some people treat as a traffic circle and some people treat as a Y intersection. Some "one way" signs at the circle would help to clarify this intersection. Thank you.
Thank you for moving the bus stop north 100 ft out of the old bus egress places to places closer to real reasonable places nearer the sidewalks.
At the corner of Wilton and Greenbriar Lane, the sidewalk goes around the corner without going to the street. There are many kids from Beechwood Manor, Arden Place, and Greenbriar Hills neighborhoods who use this sidewalk to get to the crosswalk on High Street at the Wimbledon initersection on their way to Child's elementary.
Last summer or the summer before that, Smithville came through the neighborhood to lay fiber optic cable. This year, AT&T is doing the same. Digging up yards, laying cable, spilling oil, making noise, leaving expensive machines running, spewing fumes, and wasting gas, etc. I suppose that Xfinity will want to do the same someday. Isn't it obvious that this installation of duplicative infrastructure is a profligate use of resources and imposes repeated harm on the environment? Why should every service provider be installing independent infrastructure? Wait, I know the answer to this one: money, profit for the business. Just not anything better for the consumer, the animals who live here, or the environment overall. These companies want to do business here? Adopt some guidelines, ordinances, or laws that compel them to cooperate. Allowing multiple corporations to lay their own cable is wasteful, harmful, and short-sighted.
City should provide dumpsters in neighborhood for students during the month of August as they have excess trash. This is done in West Lafayette for Purdue students. Why not here?
