See case #201777. Did owner ever reply to letter from HAND? It has been almost a year, and nothing has been done. Wall along Lincoln is still in need of attention. Experience with property owner (Parker rentals) has been they will not do anything unless there is a fine involved.
Potholes, Other Street Repair

new, pretty deep pothole at the edge of W 7th at Oak Street. It's pretty much impossible to miss this hole because of the traffic calming "roundabout" at that intersection.

The water in Griffy Creek behind this property is incredibly murky today - opaque and greenish grey and a couple new items of garbage have appeared on the far bank. The level is high and the water is flowing swiftly, and it seems less cloudy coming in under the road from the dog park. There were a dozen ducks and a heron frolicking in the clearer, cold water less than a month ago.

The placement of this sign narrows the sidewalk way down here between the utility box and the street lamp pole. The narrowing in proximity to the handicapped ramp should be of concern.
thanks!

I am a resident assistant in Eigenmann Hall right across the street from this convenience store. In the past there (just two months ago) there weren’t any issues with their lights. However, right before students winter break the convenience store installed these new bright white lights. These light shine into my room, making it hard to sleep at night, in addition, while driving and walking it makes it difficult and distracting to drive and cross streets on the roads when the white lights are shining in your eyes. Similar to white high-beams on an interstate highway shining in your eyes in the dark, that is what these remind me of. These lights make it very difficult to sleep in my room, operate along these roads, and walk as I did before (especially now that it gets darker in the day sooner). I’ve had complaints from residents on lower floors of Eigenmann Hall about these lights as they begin returning to the building.

Similar situation to case #207518. "The Bentley" apartment building on the SE corner of 11th/College has a very bright (and hideously colored) vertical sign right on the corner that is lit up all night long. Is there anything in the city code about illuminated signs? Are they even allowed at residential buildings? What if houses in neighborhoods had such signs broadly announcing the addresses of the houses while being lit up (or maybe even flashing) all night long? This is also an issue at "3-Square" apartments at 916 N. College where there are multiple signs, but they are not nearly as offensive as the others.

On the west side of Fairview Street, just south of the house at 701 West Fourth Street, there is a Jeep Laredo (plate # IN 896BZL) that has been parked for a very long time in the same place, maybe a year. So long that the right front tire is nearly flat. The vehicle is also parked very inconveniently for any vehicle exiting the alley that runs from Jackson Street to Fairview. The sight lines are already bad, but the Jeep narrows the available street space to turn left or right from the alley. The street would be much safer if the vehicle was parked closer to Fourth Street, but with the flat tire it is also presently an inoperable vehicle. Any help getting the owner to move it to a safer place would be appreciated. Thank you.
