Traffic Signals

The new pedestrian crossing light on SR45/10th street east near Tamarron and University Elementary School is malfunctioning. It seems to be triggering itself ever 30 seconds or so in the morning at least. This is causing a long line of cars to backup and block Russell Road. I've included a Google traffic view so you can see the problem.
Recycling

Left a voice mail about two recycling issues. Did get a return voice mail but I do not think I explained the situation well. Issue #1 recycling being picked up late. Issue 2 Last week recycling not picked up at all. Lid was closed and only recyclables in container. I knew about the delay for the holidays and reacted accordingly. I put my containers out on Wednesday night when on the regular schedule. I live at 3910 S. Laurel Ct in Peppergrass. I now have a second week of recycling and no room in myrecycling container.

Hi,
I contacted the city a few weeks ago regarding the status of Park Ridge Park and the materials on areas around the park and shelter in that park. In that note, I suggested cleaning up the debris in the park so as to prevent having to mitigate the problems caused by leaving them over the winter. The past two years, erosion mitigation was done on the park and it occurred to me that if the debris were removed, their would be less work in the spring to get the park back to the way it was at the beginning of fall. That suggestion was passed on to Dave Williams and I have not yet heard anything back from the parks department. I would like to know what the plans are for park with regards to debris removal. I am concerned now that since the true winter has begun and the city leaf removal is over, the debris will now remain in place all winter, hopefully to be removed soon enough in the spring such that only minimal work will have to be done in the spring. Perhaps if I had none that Parks would not be able to handle the debris removal, we could have organized a neighborhood effort to take care of the problem but it seems like that time has passed.
To be clear, I really appreciate the responsiveness the Parks Department has had to suggestions and concerns about the Park Ridge Park and no doubt all the other parks. The erosion mitigation efforts conducted over the last two years did have a very positive effect and the park, the neighborhood and the city are all better for them. I am sure that something will get worked out this time as well and look forward to hearing what the plan is going forward for our wonderful, small and highly shaded park.
Thank you.

Parking Meters and Citations
122 S Walnut ST
- Case Date:
- 1/16/2019
I teach classes at the John Waldron Arts Center for Ivy Tech. Each class is approximately 3 hours long since it is a studio art class. My student said there is a 2 hour limit on the parking meters on Walnut street which means she needs to leave during class time to move her car to another meter. This has never been an issue before. Why is it now?
