Workers installing optic fiber cable in the neighborhood have left tools, trash, and a 15-20 foot pipe in our yard. We picked scattered stuff up but can't do anything with the tubing and pipe.
1. one-way sign on SW corner is obstructed by pole-saw someone turn right off Atwater yesterday. 2. Can walk symbol flash across Atwater (south side) regardless of if someone hits the button? It's same pedestrians as Indiana/3rd intersection, and that one always shows "walk." Feels safer if they had the same behavior! Thanks :)
City and/or Utility contractors (Duke, Meridiam, etc.) have been leaving signage scattered about the neighborhood. Currently, there is the following: 1) Tall, metal support at SW corner of Cottage Grove and Grant (322 E. Grant), 2) Identical metal support on south retaining wall of 414 E. Cottage Grove, 3) Pile of signage and sandbags on NE corner of 325 E. 10th Street, 4) Pile of signs in west yard of 418 N. Grant, 5) Bag of construction waste (NaOH ?) sitting on east side of Lincoln near 518 N. Lincoln.
There was a temporary traffic sign placed in front of the property. The street construction is complete, but the sign was never removed. The sign was blown over by the wind and has become an eye sore. It would be great if the city could get that picked up...
There is a metal post with a sign on the train tracks right at the intersection of Indiana Ave and 13th St that looks very frail. In the past wind advisory situations we have had in the city, anytime the wind hit the post, that post sounded as if the wind could dislodged it violently from the base and the sign at the top could fly off into near-by buildings, it even sounded horribly loud as the sign does not seem to be securely attached to the post. When that happened I called 9-1-1 to let them know and asked them to contact whoever is in charge of the tracks for them to look into that by securing that post. However, nothing happened. Tonight, with the tornado watch and the very strong winds we are having, it's the same situation with the post. Because of that, I called the Indiana Railroad Company's emergency number and they said they would email someone but that that would take some time and they were not sure they would get to it that night since they were also in tornado watch.
Duke Energy contractors (B&B ?) are leaving signage scattered around. There is a pile of orange-stripped wood signs and associated sandbags lying on the alley on the west side of Grant between 10th and Cottage Grove, and also there are two large, metal sign supports lying at the SW and NW corners of the intersection of CG and Grant.
Is there a date on this road to be open?
The trash can is placed so that a van that is parked in this spot can't use their ramp. Please move the trash can about 10 feet west and it will be fine. Thanks.
Following up on report # 182909 Blocked Sidewalk FROM ONE MONTH AGO NO RESPONSE!!!! Bumped my head again today so I thought I would RESUBMIT this claim as a taxpayer. I should sue the city for their failure to address this issue. The overhang to Bubs burgers is far too low. As a tall person, I have to go around it and step into the road. Why are sidewalks discriminating against tall individuals? I pay taxes to maintain this area and deserve to be able to walk freely on that side of the street. -Randy
