Tan 4-door sedan has been left on public neighborhood street in same spot for many months, impeding clear access for two-way traffic. Vehicles does not appear to be in use. Most worried about pedestrians walking the neighborhood who are sharing the street with cars.
Poison ivy growing on the south side of the walking path where Fourth Street would be, just east of Jefferson. There's also another bunch of three-leaved vining thing a bit east of there, not sure if it's poison ivy.
Recently, the City has redone the intersections along East Cottage Grove to make the corners ADA-compliant. Unfortunately, the jobs were not completed. The installations of the warning plates are fine, but the street surfaces flanking them are not. The streets are all eaten up with deep, sharp gullies on each side of every installation at each corner of all four streets involved (Washington, Lincoln, Grant, and Dunn) where they cut through the concrete to prepare for the work. Also, the bit of asphalt applied to the corners afterwards was just mounded up and left bumpy and difficult for chairs (and walkers!) to navigate. Right now, all intersections are far more dangerous than they were before the project started, and if left in this condition will only get worse when debris, leaves, snow and ice begin to accumulate, and the rate of street degradation will intensify.
Not sure which category this belongs under. The grass-cutters for this property and the one directly to the north and also the Grant Street Inn to the south routinely blow grass cuttings into the street. Sometimes, there is so much that it creates a cycling hazard, and then when the rain washes it all into the storm sewer grates and clogs them, temporary lakes form. Are the any regulations relating to the levying of fines to careless people who dump yard waste (grass, leaves, etc.) in the street?
Richard Moss - 812-639-2296 Complaint is that the road has a steep incline from the center to the curb. This is causing storm water to not drain and leave behind copious amounts of mud and debris. He would like a call back once this is looked at.
Bagged trimmings left by the road for a week now.
Large pile of brush has been sitting at the SW corner of Lincoln and 10th for weeks. Appears to be in ROW.
Today, Tuesday, July 29, 2025, is my normal trash pickup day. When I put my trash and recycling bins out last night, the street was clear, but from 6:30 on this morning, the sewer repair crew has blocked the street, and so my trash and recycling bins are still in front of my house but blocked by work crews. Will they return to pick it up?
Recycling bin was in place but nit emptied.
Around Arlington bridge, public walk way, there is debris, grass, and bushes that should be taken care of for safety of the children and the public that uses this walkway. It’s very unsafe someone could be hiding in the bushes to attack or kindap a child. Ty
