Sidewalk south of Dixie is full of multiply-cracked sections. Msybe put it on a to-be-replaced lost? Also, easier to take care of: greenery is encroaching on the sidewalk; there's even a large branch there. Thanks!
Curb in front of our house is broken and needs repair. I am disabled and in its current condition the curb is a real hazard. Thank you for your attention! Michael Loyal
I accidentally opened a ureport for 832 w 7th, but it should be for 823 w 7th st. 47404
There is a huge, beautiful sycamore tree at the northwest corner of Wylie where it intersects with Henderson St. Hard to tell if this is a homeowner tree or in the easement, but the tree is really right hard up against Henderson on one side and Wylie on the other, hardly any clearance away from either street, so I am guessing it is in the public easement. The sight lines trying to turn onto Henderson from Wylie are already tough just because of the size of that tree, but the problem now is new branches have begun growing out low down out of the side of the tree. They are extending now right directly into the sight line as one tries to look north on Henderson before turning from Wylie. I know the neighbors living at that house on that lot have mentioned watering the tree a lot in recent years and that the tree has responded with new growth. But an accident is now certain to occur unless one is extremely careful and nudges one's car into Henderson almost to see around the new luxuriant limbs and leaves that are getting bigger and bigger. This summer it has been really noticeable. The limbs are not huge and they are low, at human level, so trimming would be very easy. I think it would be a very good idea for the city to take care of this before a t-bone accident happens at that intersection. If this isn't a public tree, can the city inform the homeowner that this is becoming a danger to traffic safety so that they can get it cut ASAP? Thank you.
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.
Trash was already picked up today and this is left on the street
Recurring flooding is affecting yards and driveways in our neighborhood, with water reaching depths up to a few feet during heavy rain events. This occurs several times per year and has resulted in property damage, including several vehicles in the neighborhood. Two culverts carry water beneath the roadway at this location. Based on observed conditions, the culverts appear to be insufficient to handle stormwater during frequent events, creating a backwater effect that causes water to pond in residential areas upstream. Previous inquiries have indicated this may be attributed to the area’s flood zone designation. However, the frequency and severity of flooding suggest this exceeds typical floodplain conditions and may indicate inadequate drainage capacity. Requesting a formal evaluation of the culvert system and overall drainage, including assessment of capacity and consideration of potential improvements.
I don’t know why there aren’t stop signs at either end of second st. The right of way is confusing since if you didn’t think of it as one continuous street, an accident could easily happen. For example, even as a pedestrian I’ve almost been hit just from crossing and not seeing the car come from around the corner of the other side of second street. I think this is a rather dangerous intersection and there’s no reason to not have a couple more stop signs on the ends of second street.
