Sidewalk degradation makes it difficult to get a wheelchair over this. It's on the north side of the sidewalk in the police lot behind the police station.
On the corner of Henderson and Winslow There are these rusted posts sticking up. Looks like a good safety hazard waiting for somebody to impale themselves on. Plus no handrail for somebody who needs one.
There is a big piece of steel rebar sticking out of the sidewalk near the eastern entrance to 2427 E 2nd Street. It's become a safety issue for cars and pedestrian as many kids walk through there to get to the elementary school. Unsure if since it's an IU office if it's IU property? Thank you for investigating and potentially resolving.
There's a syringe on the new wall along Rockport Road at Ralston/Rockport. I'm not excited about removing this. Can you help? Thank you.
Thanks for your gracious response last year when I inquired about this problem. You told me to contact you if it persisted, and it has. The entire street drains from hilltops at the north & south ends of Blue Ridge Court, and accumulates mud and run-off debris right at the same spot on the sidewalk (as you saw last year. The trench did not work, and the mud accumulation is worse. Anything you can do? ~ Curtis Shedlak 812-345-2880
Someone has spray painted an obscene word in big bright red letters on the wall at David St. and Sare Rd. This word has been on the wall for a couple of weeks and now the neighborhood children are referencing it.
As the owner of Crazy Horse Tavern, I’ve been volunteering for downtown issues for over 25 years. One of my personal goals is to grow the tourism throughout the city for building a stronger economy. But I’m now tackling a problem related to the substantial growth in tourism. It initially seemed reasonable to allow tour busses to park on city street in front of hotels, but there a too many days where half of the available parking on the block is taken by busses. Some days,like today, it’s 100% bus parking g without a single parking space available for a visiting family or business guest in the hotel or even a customer for a downtown shop. This isn’t normal parking management. It’s not good parking management. The busses should be parked in a large lot like the convention center or Assembly Hall (IU groups) I have helped manage a lot of downtown growth issues and this one looks to be easily fixable. Thanks for any help Ron Stanhouse c812-345-1091
#168401 case, not resolved. Sorry, but I was pointing to the dead limbs on the east side of Olcott, at 2901, on the pond side of the street. Those remain in place. Thanks, Jim Madison
Addendum to #168572. Another tree-plot hazard is a house or two south of 514 S Fess and is near the next water meter south of the one I first reported. It is a hole 12 - 18 inches deep beside the sidewalk. The photo show that it is roughly the distance from my foot to mid-calf. Thanks.
1, upper left) Lincoln St., between 2nd and 3rd, entrance into police station parking lot, northwest corner, no ramp onto sidewalk, more than a two inch dropoff making it impossible to get a wheelchair onto it at all, even a power chair. Must go around the block or out into the street. Can it be smoothed down or asphalt added to make it beveled? 2, upper right) Just north of that northwest corner is sidewalk degradation that is hard to get around in a wheelchair. 3 lower left) Southwest corner, The sidewalk is raised above a 1/2" (ADA says less) making it hard for a manual wheelchair to get over it. Must go around the block or out into the street. Can it be smoothed down or asphalt added to make it beveled? 4 lower right) just north of the northwest corner is a sidewalk leading to the back entrance of the police station that has some sidewalk degradation that makes it difficult to get a wheelchair over this.
