Hi, I'm a resident in the Elm Heights neighborhood. For some time now, my neighborhood has noticed that there is a very suspicious chemical smell--often sickly sweet--around Carlisle Brake and Friction. After conducting citizen science for several months (that is, recording when and where we smell the chemicals, as well as the day's conditions), we noticed that the smell often occurs when the building has just been repainted (this is done excessively often, and the smell does not smell like wet or drying paint) or on rainy/humid days when it is difficult to monitor the atmosphere. I hope the city will look into this issue, as it continues to be a problem in a residential area. I'll gladly provide the details of our records.

Carlisle Brake & Friction has impassable sidewalks that have been a problem since Monday 1/6/25. Seemingly no attempt to clear them has been made this whole week which makes an entire side of the street for over a block impassable.

Please extend the sidewalk along Indiana Avenue so that it connects 17th and 15th streets. The sidewalk currently ends at the edge of the IU Credit Union.

Driveway was cut to access water leak and gravel was placed in the trench. It has sunk in to the point that I cannot access my garage. The driveway needs to be appropriately repaired. There was no issue with the line running to my house. This is urgent as I have mobility issues and need to park inside my garage.

I was walking my dog (on leash of course) up the street and all of the sudden a dog that lives at the house 133 Lexington Ave runs at top speed across the yard and into the street and straight for my dog. I started yelling “no” at it which slowed it down and the owner must have heard because they finally called the dog back. It was very scary and my dog was incredibly anxious afterwards. I had seen this dog do a similar behavior to someone else walking a dog while driving home last week. It happened so fast I was very concerned I would’ve accidentally hit the dog had I not seen it when I did. At first I thought this was just a one off accident but now that it has happened to me I realize that this dog does not have any sort of yard containment and is becoming more bold with this behavior. It is a great concern to everyone’s safety including the uncontrolled dog. Please visit the home and explain the safety issue and legality of ensuring their dog is properly contained.
