Citizen says construction crew was jackhammering street at 8am at Lincoln & University, a few feet away from her (and other) car. Dust and chunks of asphalt are all over her car. She thinks that no parking signs should have been posted if they were going to work this close to cars. Street Dept. thinks this was an Indiana Gas crew.
White City pickup w/seal and employee on riding mower with blade tipped up on side were working in the area trimming and cutting bushes late this am. Bushes shouldn't be trimmed this way w/mower because of flying debris. Citizen says they whacked up the pine tree in her yard. Also, they left their debris behind and didn't clean it up. If her tree was posing a problem she would have taken care of it -- it shouldn't have been whacked up like this. Someone should have notified her.
