Excessive Growth
901-999 Atwater Avenue
- Case Date:
- 11/3/2016
I work in an IU office at 914 E Atwater. Our parking area is in the alley behind the building. It is reached through either an east-west or a north-south alley. Most of the houses along the alleys are rental properties; at least one is a private residence. There is a lot of overgrowth from the yards that extends into the alleys. I already have a scratch on my brand-new car because of being brushed by some of that overgrowth as I pulled into a place, having had to swing wide enough to fit in between two cars. Is there anything that can be done about brush that grows into an alley? Am I within my legal rights to bring a lopper to work to cut off the brush and small trees that are narrowing the alleyway? My old car had a number of scratches for the same reason, and I was hoping to avoid it with this one. But no such luck. On a related note, it is difficult and a bit dangerous trying to turn right from the east-west alley onto Faculty. Between the power pole and the overgrowth, visibility is terrible. I am happy to do the trimming if I won't get in trouble either with the city or with the homeowners, but it obviously would be better if the city could do it. Please see the included photo, which consists of two different views. Thank you.
Traffic Signals

- Case Date:
- 3/26/2018
In front of Alumni Building on 17th Street, there was a crosswalk sign in the middle of 17th that apparently was hit by a vehicle. The IU Grounds Department picked up the pieces and took them to our shop at 901 E. 13th Street. They can contact the grounds supervisor, Rick Stanger at 812-855-0050 if they want to meet him and pick up the pieces of the sign. Thanks Jill.
Drainage or Runoff
901-923 South Woodlawn Avenue
- Case Date:
- 1/7/2018
On the southeast corner of the intersection at Woodlawn and Maxwell, runoff from the yard on that corner is causing significant ice accumulation on the road. It's impossible to pull up properly to the stop sign going north without veering into the middle of Woodlawn. I have lived on Maxwell for more than 20 years and don't recall seeing this problem before. There is a fire hydrant on the corner of the property, so perhaps this is the source of the water?

There is a segment of the sidewalk that is completely missing. When it rains, it turns into a large puddle that is difficult to step over.

Traffic Suggestions
901-903 East Hunter Avenue
- Case Date:
- 4/11/2016
I frequently travel N and S on Hunter, and it is very, very difficult because of street parking to see whether there is oncoming traffic at this Woodlawn intersection. (There are other similar situations in the neighborhood, but this one is particularly bad.) it would be wonderful if there were convex traffic mirrors to be able to see around the corner. These are commonly used in low-visibility corners in Europe, and can be highly effective.
Potholes, Other Street Repair

Alleyway was paved many years ago and has now broken down into a few very deep holes which have torn up several tires. Could these be patched possibly?

Rev. Ernest D. Butler Park Park side near the baseball diamond, at the corner of 9th and Williams Street Several member of the gym at 417 S. Elm Street run on 9th Street early in the morning. This light has been on and off for sometime now. It is dark outside early in the morning and we would appreciate it very much if the light could be fixed to be on when it is dark out
