Not a big problem really and also I don't know which option to use for walking/biking trails so I am using the sidewalk one: a kroger shopping cart is sitting on the pedestrian/bike trail (Polly Grimshaw trail) just east of the bypass and way west of Pete Ellis Drive and parallel to the railroad track. See photo attached.
Beth Holbrook called about a missing sidewalk linkage on the west side of S.Sare Road from Buttonwood Lane to a point about 250 yards south. She observes that access to the new middle school and park would be served by completing sidewalk. She acknowledges that the sidewalk on the east side of Sare Road would provide access. But it also needs to be completed. Please explore who is responsible for doing sidewalks and when they could be completed. I will notify sidewalk committee of concern.

As the owner of Crazy Horse Tavern, I’ve been volunteering for downtown issues for over 25 years. One of my personal goals is to grow the tourism throughout the city for building a stronger economy. But I’m now tackling a problem related to the substantial growth in tourism. It initially seemed reasonable to allow tour busses to park on city street in front of hotels, but there a too many days where half of the available parking on the block is taken by busses. Some days,like today, it’s 100% bus parking g without a single parking space available for a visiting family or business guest in the hotel or even a customer for a downtown shop. This isn’t normal parking management. It’s not good parking management. The busses should be parked in a large lot like the convention center or Assembly Hall (IU groups) I have helped manage a lot of downtown growth issues and this one looks to be easily fixable. Thanks for any help Ron Stanhouse c812-345-1091
Someone has spray painted an obscene word in big bright red letters on the wall at David St. and Sare Rd. This word has been on the wall for a couple of weeks and now the neighborhood children are referencing it.
Sidewalk behind Bed Bath & Beyond on 280 N Gates Dr before Alexander Dr has two panels that are trip hazards. Believe to be caused by tree roots.
Pothole surrounding a manhole cover.
There is a downspout that washes water across and over the sidewalk.
The part of the curb on the West side of Sare Rd, as showed in the picture, protrudes into the lane unexpectedly and narrows it. As you can see it has black tire marks and the cement is chipped as well – indicating that cars hot the curb all the time. We walk or run there every day and this is an accident waiting to happened. A few days ago, as we were walking along, an SUV hit the curb, right there, and continued to weave for 50 yards. If it had jumped the curb we would have been hit. Generally speaking the walking path is too close to the road and a guard rail should be installed between the Hyde Park Village and at least to Spicewood.
The 2 traffic circles on either side of I 69 off of Tapp Rd and dangerous. There is no reflective paint around the circle. At night you can not see the circle and I have driven over it since I cant see the boarder. I'd like to see reflective paint around the circle for safety
