Resident called in to complain about the location of a dumpster that has been parked beside their residence for approximately 2 months. Problems related to the dumpster location precipitated after IU students began move-in activities earlier this month. The resident has not been able to reliably utilize sanitation services because the dumpster obstructs access for sanitation vehicles. Sanitation has issued warnings to the resident for trash build-up, but the resident does not control the dumpster and has requested help to remediate the problem.
After six weeks, Acuff Rd is still closed- according to the Board of Public Works minutes this was only approved for two weeks. While volumes are not heavy, this is adjacent to a hospital and near a school. Please provide an update on when this road will be opened
Deserted car on the right hand no parking side of the road that's been there since Wednesday multiple notes on the car people ask him to move it right on the the curve of the hill as you come up 8th Street
Overnight Road Construction at 2nd and Rogers is extremely disruptive to neighbors. Large machinery (jackhammers, trucks with very loud backup signals, etc.) can be heard all hours of the night (most notably around 2:45 am this morning). When there has been construction near Hopewell in the past, the construction team saved "noisy" activities for daylight hours. For whatever reason, that has not been the case for the past week or so.
the overgrowth from B-Line has made Morton Street from Howe to Smith a one lane road, which causes issues on an already overly tight turn at Smith & Morton. can this be cut back/down? thanks for your time and consideration. kind regards, NE
I have reported this problem to the City several times, but nothing has ever been done about it. There is a used car business being operated out of a house at 1316 S. Palmer Ave. Deliveries of used cars and trucks arrive every week, and more often than that. The owner of the business has workers working who are always in the street. The vehicles and the workers block traffic, and it is unsafe for the workers refurbishing the used cars and trucks. In fact, that block of Palmer has become a one-lane street. The cars and trucks are parked up and down the street at all times. The place itself is trash heap. I own a house in the 1400 block, only two doors south of this used car lot, and my property value is diminished because of it. This would NEVER be allowed in any other residential neighborhood in the city. There are constantly many used cars and trucks coming and going as they get refurbished and sold. I've had enough. Please do your work.
#204971 So, you have no issue with the fact that this is a used car lot on a residential street? You have no issue with the fact that the owner of this used car lot, which would NEVER occur in any other neighborhood in the city, blocks traffic and impedes the two-way flow of traffic? You have no issue with the trashy area, littered with various types of products and containers for refurbishing cars? So, it's o.k. to have a used car facility in a residential neighborhood. Is that correct? Maybe I should start my own.
On September 29, the road project on 2nd Street near Rogers involved shutting down Rogers just north of 2nd Street. I live in that area, and in order to get to my home, I had to get out of my car twice to move blockages in the road. At the intersection of 3rd and Rogers, there was a barricade that I was able to drive by, but it was barely passable for my car and I had to almost drive up on the curb. Then at the intersection of Howe and 2nd, I had to get out of my car to move construction cones. There were cars going through the intersection and it was dark, so that was not a safe situation. Then when I tried to pull into my drive, there were construction barriers blocking it. I had to get out of my car again and ask a street worker to move it. He was very nice, though. The issue only took place that evening, but I wanted to report it since it was difficult and dangerous.
The construction road closure on Rogers from Patterson to Switchyard Park is horrendous. Someone needs to go help the people setting it up. Heading north on Rogers from Rockport, there's no road closure sign, just road construction, one lane road, and flagger signs. Then at 1pm on 10/7/2025 I got to a one lane road with no flagger. Oncoming traffic in my lane. Then at Rogers and Patterson, the entire lane of southbound Rogers is blocked by a road closed sign and people needing local access are driving into northbound lanes of traffic to go south. And North of Patterson on Rogers the south bound lane is 50-75% blocked by a road closed sign before you even get to the fully open interesting so people are forced to cross left of the center double yellow line into oncoming traffic. This is very dangerous in every way. Go check it out. The contractor clearly is not going a good job at all.
