NW corner of Grant/8th has shrubs that hinder view of oncoming traffic when traveling south on Grant. When you get to the intersection you have to slowly pull into it because the shrubs prevent you from seeing cars traveling east on 8th Street, and they don't have a stop sign on 8th so they just plow through the intersection. This has been a hazard off and on for years.
There are fresh piles of stone on the alley along the southside of this property. It appears that they intend to convert the backyard into parking. Is this legal? Please disregard this concern if the stone is instead intended for improvement of the alley.
There is an abandoned car at the intersection of W 4th St and Maple. It is a red 4-door Volkswagen with a rack on top and out of state plates. It has at least 1 flat tire and has been there for at least 3 weeks. Thank you!
The back property line for the new apartment complex at 714 North Walnut has not been maintained all summer, and is extremely overgrown at this point. I've e-mailed the new property owners several time this summer asking them to maintain this area, but have been unable to get a response from them. This can be viewed easily from my backyard, if necessary.
Grass too long
Lawn too long. Also, overgrown shrub blocks line-of-sight looking west down 10th Street when traveling south on Dunn.
Trash in alley south of 601 and to the east of 601.
There's something else going on in the neighborhood. The Indiana RR trestle on Adams Street is hit about twice a week. A RR truck took a look at it a few days ago. Rebar is exposed again, they will have to fix it. A neighbor says the trestle is hit about twice a week. I saw a semi with a 40-foot trailer turn around at 6th Street and Adams. Closing Vernal Pike is squeezing traffic, and maps don't help. How about a "No Trucks" and "Low clearance ahead" signs at 5th and Adams?
sinkhole developing over street train, also sidewalk material deteriorating, coming apart in several places
Because this house is so close to the sidewalk, it is nearly impossible to see the E->W cross traffic on 9th Street when one is traveling south on Grant. An easy way to address this is to ask the owner to trim or remove the shrubs that are on the south side of the building. Of course, a better remedy would be to install a stop sign on 9th Street at this intersection, making it an 3-way (= All-way) stop.
