Bushes, trees, brush needs trimmed on west side of 900 block S Morton St. Vegetation is protruding into street presenting a hazard.
Citizen says alley next to her house (between7th & 8th Streets) is very heavily travelled and vehicles use a high rate of speed. Aside from gravel being spewed into her yard, she is afraid that a child or a pet will be hurt by cars going too fast. Says she can only call Police so many times. Wants to know if speed bumps could be installed to slow down traffic through the alley.
The City should check out the traffic issues happening on S. Woodlawn Ave from Maxwell to 1st. People are now parking on both sides of the street, often directly across from other cars, reducing this area to a single lane for two way traffic. This particular stretch of Woodlawn is relatively busy. People are parking so close to 1st on both sides of Woodlawn that sometimes you cannot even turn to go south on Woodlawn from 1st without needing to wait for a car at the stop sign on Woodlawn headed north to clear out (and hope the cars coming up behind it realize they need to stay back and let people through). I know legally right now the road allows parking on both sides. This could be evaluated and consider removing parking from one side of the street as people are not very smart about where they park and it is creating a hazardous reduction in traffic flow that is difficult for vehicles and bicycles to navigate.
The street parking on N Walnut St, between 11th and 14th, is causing an issue with safe travel. Because there are no painted parking spaces, cars are packed in more tightly than they should be which is also causing many vehicles to encroach into the driving lane because they can’t properly fit.
People REPEATEDLY drive up Washington between 10th and 12th going the wrong direction (it is a one-way street going south). The problem has increased this summer. I see at least one driver a day. Is there any way to mark the one-way nature of the street better? There is no obvious signage.
Westbound vehicles on Dodds St. are driving through Indiana Auto's parking lot to turn southbound onto Walnut St. The owner is concerned that customers might be injured by one of these vehicles. The owner is also concerned by vehicles traveling too fast through the East-West alley south of this property and that someone might be injured and requested that the alley be closed.
Trash and trash cans left on street overnight, 24 hrs after pick up. Trash should be in can, can return led to curb.
