The needle that I reported a few days ago is still there! It is not very visible and someone could step on it! It’s on a park path coming from the b-line to Butler park. Please send someone to get it as soon as possible!!!!
On the sidewalk along the north side of Weatherstone, there is a branch with a sharp edge at approximately eye level.
Northeast corner of the intersection of Manor and Sheridan, a tree growing in the drainage ditch is overtaking the road. It makes it dangerous as vehicles are making wide turns and cannot see what is happening on the roads.
The alley connecting W 3rd Street to W 4th Street, adjacent to 415 W 4th Street, has become a significant pedestrian safety concern. Vehicles frequently travel through the alley and cross the sidewalk onto W 4th Street without stopping or yielding to pedestrians. There is currently no stop sign, crosswalk, or other traffic control indicating that drivers should stop before crossing the pedestrian path, and the path is totally blind to alleyway drivers. This is a year-round issue but it becomes especially hazardous during IU student move-in and other high-traffic periods, when both vehicle and pedestrian traffic increase considerably. People who regularly walk through this area have reported multiple instances of nearly being struck by vehicles exiting the alley. I am requesting that the City evaluate this location and consider installing a stop sign for vehicles exiting the alley and/or adding a marked pedestrian crossing or other appropriate safety measure. Given the limited visibility and lack of any traffic-control signage, some form of intervention seems necessary before someone is injured.

Big bushy tree when you are north on Grant and try to look east (right) on 19th
It is very difficult to turn right here when heading east on 17th to head south on Madison. As this area is redesigned, please keep in mind the need for commuters to get into the city center and make the light. It is often so backed up with the many stoplights in a row on 17th that is becomes difficult to get anywhere at peak times especially. Additionally, the turn radius is increasingly difficult to not hit someone in the turn lane on Madison when turning right from 17th to head south on Madison.
Using this intersection is very difficult when heading north on Madison to turn left to go west on 17th st. Theirs is not an adequate turn lane or signal to accommodate how many at peak times want to turn left to head west on 17th st. I know this is being looked at as a part of a whole roadway redesign, but this needs to be prioritized as a part of it. No one can get through and the traffic is infuriating. It is incredibly difficult to head west in this town. Please ensure this is factored into the future plans here.
Resident called into to complain about a line-of-sight problem caused by vegetation overgrowth at the alley when turning east or west onto 2nd St. The overgrowth is reported to be in the flower beds of 914 W 2nd St.
Shrubs create line of sight issues when exiting restaurant.
