Had an arborist out on another street tree (Japanese Cherry) that needs pruned badly and some dead removed, but is otherwise healthy. While there he looked at a Red Sunset Maple that I thought had a lot of dead in it, just in the last year. His appraisal was that it needed removed and since a street tree he suggested I give the city a call.
Dear Sir/Madam, This is a request regarding stormwater runoff and property flooding. This a formal request for assistance and an inquiry regarding significant stormwater runoff impacting our property located at 4244 E Stephens Drive. We reside at 3625 E Tamarron Dr. and are writing to you concerning repeated flooding at our aforementioned property during recent severe storm events. Our property at 4244 E Stephens Drive has experienced flooding on two separate occasions due to the substantial volume of rainwater rushing from the street into our driveway and subsequently into the garage and house. We believe this issue is primarily caused by the combined slopes of the street leading to our property and our driveway, which directs a large influx of stormwater directly towards our residence. We had a professional assess the situation, and they recommended that the City's Engineering or Drainage Department investigate the matter. Thus we are requesting that a city engineer or drainage specialist visit our property to evaluate the existing conditions. Our goal is to explore potential solutions to mitigate or divert the excessive rainwater runoff from the street, thereby preventing it from overwhelming our existing garage drainage system. We are hopeful that a city representative can identify measures to protect our property from future flooding incidents. Please contact us at your earliest convenience to schedule a site visit or discuss this matter further. You can reach us at 812-340-7863 (cell) or 812-332-9005 (land phone) so that we can be there when your engineer comes. Thank you for your time and attention to this urgent issue. Have a wonderful day! Sincerely, Shingshong & Hwamei Shei

West Smith Avenue, between Buckner and Davidson is eroding. There's trenches on either side. The storm drain at the corner where the stop sign is is sinking at least 3 feet down, it gets filled with debris, there's dirt and everything pouring into it, so it floods. Drivers are cutting corners on both sides, both sides of Smith. If you're traveling west, or if you're turning right onto West Smith, they're cutting a corner, driving over dirt in the yard, and that's contributing to more debris. Please consider this road for resurfacing.
It’s was my understanding with the Malibu House and Jeff Jones that several houses on Chris lane had lost renting privileges . I still see the Malibu house is open and has renters . I thought all this ended June 1? Has something changed ?
Storm drain sinking into eroding avenue, smith ave west is eroding debris- drivers driving into yards to avoid storm grate, so car doesn’t scrape. Dirt and debris blocks drainage resulting in flooded yards streets
Excessive growth, again
I'm not sure if this light "belongs" to IU or if the city has control, but turns red for 10th Street east/west travelers even when there are no cars or students waiting to go the other directions, and it stay red for an inordinate amount of time. It absolutely backs up 10th Street unnecessarily, which is a street that;s already backed up in other ways (Kelley crossing, Eagleson light). Please consider adjusting the timing or making sure it's driving by sensors!
