There is a pole/light at this stop that has metal bands wrapped in two spots for a trash can to be attached. Although the trash can is not attached and sits beside the pole, that is not the problem. Today, one of the metal bands (which sticks out at the end of its seal point) sliced my leg open. Luckily I had a first aid kit, but that is dangerous.
On Friday, July 12, a crew from JE Reedy pushed through my double locked gate to clear a path so they could install fiber overhead (in a neighborhood that already has fiber). They seriously cut at least 3 trees: 2 are trees that get no taller than 15 feet, and a pine that was near the pole they needed to climb (Duke has cleared this area for years and never had to hack the pine). They said that they came by on Thursday but they did not leave any notice that they would be working in my backyard so they were trespassing. They could have done their work without destroying my fence row but that would have involved creativity and a little effort. I am sickened, angry and sad and want someone in the City to see this mess and come up with a way to make this right. I have several photos but could only upload one.
Dear City Department / Fleet Supervisor, I am writing to report a near-miss incident involving a City vehicle that occurred on 2/16/2026 at approximately 9:41am at the intersection of Stipp Rd, Handy Rd, and Moffett Rd. I was traveling from Stipp Rd toward Moffett Rd when a City vehicle pulled out from Handy Rd onto Moffett Rd at the same time I was proceeding through. It appeared that the driver may have misjudged the right-of-way or believed there was a stop sign controlling my direction of travel. As a result, I was forced to swerve and slam on my brakes to avoid a collision. Had I not reacted immediately, I likely would have either struck the City vehicle or ended up in the ditch on the right side of the roadway. The situation was extremely close and could have resulted in significant vehicle damage or serious injury. The City vehicle was described as: Vehicle type/color: Gray Ford Escape Plate Number: 100008 I am submitting this report out of concern for public safety and to help prevent a future accident by this individual. Please let me know if you need any additional information from me. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
The HVAC by the north entrance to the County side of Showers was giving off an almost Ozone like smell yesterday evening as I was leaving. Just wanted to bring it to your attention as I know that unit has had some issues recently.
Mike Frey - 317-727-3371 Mike is the owner of Bub's on the corner of 9th Street and N. Morton. The last parking spot on 9th street before you hit Morton has been turned in to a handicap space. According to Mike this space is on a hefty incline that was once riddles with pot holes. He stated that it is smooth, but that it is not an accessible space by any means being on a hill. He would like someone to reach out to him. Thank you!
I would like the street lighting in front of my house to be removed (or at a bare minimum, the light fixture being updated to something that is DarkSky lighting approved where it is ideally motion sensor activated and directionally pointed down and away from my house). It forces us to do substantial light control inside my house when we'd generally like to leave blinds and curtains open to the view of the gold course across the street, it disrupts sleep for some of the members of our household, and this type of light pollution is terrible for wildlife. When we moved into this house in 2022, the light quickly burned out and was not operational for more than 18 months. That was definitely a better situation than the light now that it is illuminated again. The light pole is 168 135.
Five dogs came out of the back door at 1432 Winfield at 2:29 pm today (1/14/2026) and proceeded to run around the yard, barking steadily, until 3:15 at which time it was snowing and windy. They then all went on the deck where the largest dogs proceeded to climb on the back door for the next 45 minutes to get back into the house. No one ever came out to see what they were doing.
Trash receptacles left streetside for three weeks.
Stephen was asking about the city's response to Malibou house as he is a resident of the street on which one of their houses is located and expressed that he is already dealing with the effects of slummy properties, and this is making it much more difficult to deal with. He complained about noise, traffic, and the overall parking nightmare that has become of his culdesac.
This family constantly has vehicles parked in their front yard at 520 W. Duncan Drive. Makes the neighborhood look trashy.
