We’ve had large trucks run over our curbs repeatedly and the neighbors have also had issues with trucks going on their yard and damaging their property. We were told poles or other barriers couldn’t be put in place ironically until there is an accident first. But I am writing to request that a no large vehicles over a certain size or with carriers attached be allowed to turn there. The attached photo is the specific truck as it ran the curb from EMI

There is a tree/shrub along the sidewalk growing low foliage that is blocking the line of site when you are turning left onto 2nd Street from Lincoln Street.

Large shrub (bush honeysuckle?) at NE corner of lot has grown so much that it is now difficult to pass using the sidewalk on Cottage Grove. The property owner/manager (sign in yard says "Thatcher Real Estate") never shovels the sidewalk in the winter, but maybe the snow/ice complaints submitted to HAND earlier this year never made it to them. Probably good to be more proactive about this report, since the shrub is not going to just melt on its own like the snows did...

The company that installed this created a hazard that could cause an injury when someone gets out of their car etc. This should be removed and filled or fixed.

In Spring/Summer 2023, utilities contractors excavated a hole approximately 3x3 in the sidewalk that crosses the driveway for our home located at 3702 E Reed Ct. Bloomington IN. They were installing fiber optic or another cable -- AT&T or GigaBit or some other contractor. This hole was filled with dirt and then they "fitted the broken concrete pieces" back in the hole. Needless to say, it sank about 4". Then they poured concrete on top of the hole. They then ground down the edges to even out their work. It was a poor job and it is now unsightly and a serious tripping hazard. I've seen city workers replacing sections of sidewalks in Hyde Park and elsewhere. I would like to request that this section of sidewalk be added to the list of sidewalk repairs/replacements. Please let me know if you need additional details. Thank you for addressing this issue.

A year has passed since I wrote this (closed case #188144): 'The orange barriers along the sidewalk on S High Street between Wimbleton and E Meadowbluff Ct still have not been removed and remain a big eyesore. I was told that Duke Energy needs to do something there before they can be removed. I bet it has been 2 years now that those barriers have been there. Isn't it time that Duke did what they need to do in order for them to be removed?! The, by now faded, barriers are still there a year later. When will this eyesore disappear?

Catherine Pierce (goes by Cathy) called in to complain about her neighbors parking in front of her ADA accessible ramp that is in front of her home (on the Fairview Side). The neighboring area has the Rock Climbing facility and they are often blocking her ramp and she cannot get out. She would like to talk to someone about this curb section being painted so that they cannot park there. 812-822-3023 - Home 812-325-7125 - Cell

I reported this last week for the first time. (Case #200875) I took this new photo this morning, which shows clearly the abundance of water issuing from this drain. I am confident that this is not simply runoff. I dealt with a similar complaint about one month ago lodged against a property I help manage for Chickering Rentals at 620 N College. Turns out, the water was coming from a sink AND a shower inside that house that was connected to a sump pump, and then connect to a downspout extension drain that expelled on the sidewalk. (I identified the issue and the company remedied it the same day it was reported to us.) It appears that the same thing may be happening at 609 S Fess. There is no explanation as to why so much water would be issuing from a downspout drain at 9am this morning when the temps are less than 10, far below freezing. But you can see in the picture the amount of snow the water has covered and had not yet frozen. I’m guessing if you go out now, it may be frozen. It’s only after it has recently been pumping and expelling that it is still liquid. The only explanation from what I can tell is it’s coming from inside the property. Either 605 s fess or 609 s fess. I’m guessing that there is a sink or shower inside the house, connected to a sump pump drain, connected to this drain on the sidewalk. Thanks for your help and attention to this.

There's a huge hole left by the internet-cable installing company at the curb in front of my house, 1207 E Skylark Ct. This problem has been reported twice, tickets 192627 and 193023. Both tickets were closed but the problem remains. The contractor made a wan attempt to fill the hole, tossing some loose gravel into it, after I filed the first ticket. The attempt was useless and I filed the second ticket. It was closed without comment and, as far as I can tell, without investigation. The hole is now far deeper and wider. I realize it's likely false hope that you'll do anything more than close this ticket, forgive me, but after a winter of watching the hole grow, I'm asking again for a repair. Thank you.
