The side walk on the north end of our property continues to sink, resulting in standing water that discourages use & causes build up of trash & mud & causes a tripping hazard. There is a public drain of some nature in the same area just east of the area that floods. In order for the water not to stand it’s necessary for us to cut a small ditch through the area between the side walk & street for it to drain. When we asked for inspection of it in the past we were told our flower beds were too high. The flower beds are on the same level as surrounding grass & we have not built them up over the years, only planting perennials beneath pines that were there when we purchased the home 8 years ago. There are Callery pear trees in the birm are of the sidewalk which I know are famous for causing destruction around wet areas. Is it possible these trees are the problem? Please look, once again, to see if “fresh eyes” might determine further investigation to be warranted. Thanks for your help albeit likely far in the future with all of the flood destruction you need to attend to urgently. Be careful & take good care.

The sidewalk is unlevel and a safety hazard, especially when it rains mud and water collects making it slippery. There are a lot of elderly people in our community, which makes it a trip hazard. Also, in the winter makes it very difficult to shovel the snow. I submitted a request to have it repaired in December when they repaired the one across the street. However, they said they would repair it this Spring. Thank you. Vertessa

While repairing the road and storm water drainage issue. The city workers damaged this curb with the excavator they were using. They came back and repaired other damage to curbs, but did not repair this damage.

The grass behind the curb on the northeast corner of the 4th and Madison Street intersection has had a large gouge, caused by a tire, since last year. The gouge is very unsightly, especially for a recently improved intersection. It also releases muddy water every time it rains. Please repair the gouge and apply grass seed or sod (I recommend a small patch of sod, but use your best judgment). Thank you.

Last year I had sent in a complaint about storm water running down Olive Street into the joint driveway of 1502 & 1504 S. Olive St. and 1144 E Hillside Dr. An asphalt curb was installed in the Fall of 2025, but they did not install to the top of the hill at Olive St. The water from rain can still run into the joint driveways of 1502 & 1504. Can this be fixed to where the curb will start at the top of Olive and run all the way down to Hillside or to where the other curb starts.

This sidewalk issue is on Brighton Crest, but the house faces Bennington Blvd. I have lived in the neighborhood (Gentry Honours) for 10 years and this sidewalk situation has been a problem the whole time. Their downspout drain sits right on the edge of this area, but also water and mud come down the hill from their yard. When it rains, it looks like the photo. When it snows or becomes ice, it’s terribly dangerous. Most walkers have learned to walk around it or move to the other side of the street to avoid it. I understand that before I moved here, the owners tried to correct it by digging into the easement and adding rocks. Unfortunately, it’s getting worse and a proper fix is needed. Thank you.

Sidewalk that crosses driveway is broken up. Looks like it was broken up for water service line work. Some asphalt was placed in the driveway but sidewalk was left as gravel/sand..

Judy Fulford - 812-325-6537 and [email protected] Complaint at 702 E 10th Street. Would like some information on the curb placed at her driveway slope. The way it is currently paved over by the city, is causing water to drain straight in her basement. She would like to have this looked at.

Workers were grinding sidewalk at this location around noon creating large, visible clouds of silica dust. Per OSHA regulations, concrete grinding requires use of a vacuum or water to control silica dust emissions. Clearly these controls were not being used or were malfunctioning. This was happening right next to a school. Children shouldn't get silicosis because of a cement grinder's negligence. This is the second time I've reported the issue of uncontrolled cement dust from sidewalk griding, please do something about it.

Workers grinding the sidewalk are generating significant clouds of silica dust. Silica-generating grinding operations are supposed to be controlled by water or vacuum. The vacuum systems they are using are clearly ineffective. This is clear if you watch them work, it's also clear if you examine a recently ground section of sidewalk. Significant concrete dust remains on the sidewalk surface because the vacuum isn't picking it up. The city is substituting a respiratory hazard for a trip hazard. I don't want to get these guys in trouble, but would appreciate if the city would ensure they're using water or effective vacuum controls.
