Woodlawn, alley between the Subway/apartment building and rental house. Shrubs block all traffic visibility. Pulling out onto Woodlawn, you can't see what's coming from the right/heading south. Not even pedestrians on the sidewalk can be seen. Dangerous to pull out here since you pull out blindly not knowing what's coming, but also very dangerous for pedestrians (and bikers/scooters) because we can't see them coming when we pull out. There is an IU parking lot in this alley, so it's used daily by several people who say a little prayer for safety every time they have to leave work from this location. This has been reported by colleagues more than once, but the building owner has never taken any action. Not even so much as to trim the shrubs back. In our opinion, the shrubs should be removed completely. Even by trimming, pedestrians still would not be visible.

Near corner of Woodlawn/Atwater: alley that exits onto Woodlawn between Subway/apartment bldg. and rental house is dangerous. Shrubs on corner of Subway/apartment bldg. completely block the line of sight for drivers pulling out of this alley onto Woodlawn. Nothing can be seen that is approaching from the north and heading south. Have to pull car partially into the roadway to see if anything is coming. This is a heavily used alley due to an IU parking lot, IU office building and student housing rentals whose parking can only be accessed through the alley. And the area, itself, is active. This is even more dangerous to pedestrians/bikes/scooters. We cannot see them approaching and THEY CANNOT SEE US, either. It was bound to happen sooner or later and could have ended in injury or death. Yesterday I almost hit a jogger who was heading south on the sidewalk as I was trying to pull out onto Woodlawn. I couldn’t see him approaching due to the shrubs. He also could not see me! The shrubs completely blocked his line of sight and he couldn’t see that a car was approaching. The city has known about this for at least two years and hasn’t done anything to address it. My colleagues and I have tried repeatedly to have this fixed. Three cases were found in my search, but I know that there are more because this has been ongoing for longer than two years. Case #161202, 9/18/17, second half of complaint reported this. The case was closed with no mention of it having been addressed. Case #164914, 6/21/18, and case #167848, 3/21/19, are both still open. With neither showing any update that this is being addressed. Why? How can this be left unattended for so long? A whole year for case #164914! At some point there is going to be a tragedy here and it’ll be on the city for not having addressed this after multiple hazard reports.

I witnessed a man getting sucker punched in front of blue bird nightclub shortly before 12;30am on June 22. Officer 67 arrived within a few minutes and placed handcuffs on the man who was sucker punched. I immediately told officer 67 that I saw the perpetrator walk down the alley, but officer 67 told me to get back and would not listen to me... while I was watching the perpetrator walk down the alley. Other witnesses were also telling officer 67 the perpetrator was getting away. Officer 67 acted emotionally in arresting the victim. It was wrong. I could identify the perpetrator.
