I live on the corner of N. Jackson and W. 12th Street. There are deep ruts running down Jackson to the corner. They're on the edge of the road, but need to be filled in. Thanks.
before the site redesign, i remember it being easier to tell the city council meetings from the committee of the whole meetings. now both in the calendar and in the agendas page, they are both just "Common Council Meeting." also, the calendar entry for upcoming meetings should have a link to the agenda/packet, since the upcoming calendar days are prominently displayed. also, maybe the agenda/meetings page should be sorted by descending date, and not have a bunch of blank entries for meetings without documents yet? basically, in order to see the agenda we shouldn't have to go to a page and then scroll halfway down it to today's date. and we certainly shouldn't have to download the whole agenda to see if it's a committee of the whole meeting. anyways, thanks!
420 Eastside Drive: trash on porch and in front of garage door.
On the bridge over Patterson Dr. on the B-Line there are 4 square B-line steel signs. In the recent winds, one of these has come loose and become bent. If there is more wind, which there will as it is almost spring, the remaining two connections may also become loose. It appears to me that the screws mounting the sign to the structure are not long enough. The sign then blowing and dropping makes for a very unsafe situation as it is 15 feet above the ground, sidewalk and road.
Trash, recycling, broken appliances etc. everywhere.
Vacant lot between 3124 and 3200 N. Ramble Road East. Neighbors complain consistently about difficulty of walking on this stretch of sidewalk.
The trash from 809 North Walnut is blowing all over the neighbors yard.
The small stub of West 10th Street that runs West from Fairview to another short street called Curve Street and runs for one block is a disgusting muddy mess. If you are not going to maintain this street why don't you dig it up and turn it into green space? During the recent rains the City storm water system was so backed up in this location that the entire area completely filled with water (causing water infiltration into the basement of the house I own at 605 North Fairview. The storm sewers are often blocked and the culvert at the bottom of the park is inadequate to handle the water that runs off Ernest Butler Park. The whole situaiton is a mess and largely caused by City mismanagement. Additionally, the City has repeatedly allowed Mr. Goodman to violate City rules and codes and directives and his mess and non-running cars adds to the mix of this mess--once again a case of City mismanagement. This horrible situation has persisted for years. As the owner of 605 N Fairview I am seriously considering hiring an attorney and taking formal legal action against the City for its inattention to its own rules. If the Goodman property were a rental property that I owned I would be getting a complaint notice every other day. Both Matt Murphy (who owns the commercial property which adjoins my house at 605 N Fairview) and I have invested significant money in keeping our properties nice and generally contributing to the uplift of the Near-Westside. Too bad the City is not helping us! My number is 812-322-2050 and I would be interested in hearing if anyone at the City has viewed the situation on this one block section of West 10th Street.
On E First Street near #114: subsiding utility cut
the new utilities payment website is not user friendly. I had to create a new log-in ID and pass word but how can I log-off? Also, I don't want to print the confirmation pop-up window and it seems there's no way to close it unless you just close the website. In this case, I can't tell if my account was logged off securely.
