There is a new garbage can and new recycling can that were delivered WEEKS ago that are sitting on the handicap sidewalk ramp. The garbage cans don't belong to the house (the garbage cans are on the side of the house---they don't belong to that house). Please can someone remove these cans---they don't belong to anyone and are blocking the sidewalk for kids walking to school.

Public right of way in alley behind our house was blocked by four cars. Illegal frat is using the alley for its private excess parking lot. Request fines be administered to stop this practice. This is not the first time cars have been parked in the alley, but four cars at once is a record. The illegal frat needs to be convinced that the public alley is not their private lot.

With the closure of Tapp Road intersection due to I-69 construction, a lot of traffic has been diverted on to the Tapp and Rockport Road intersection. Due to this there is a severe need for a traffic light at this intersection since now in the morning rush hour there is a long traffic backup on Rockport road towards coming into the city at the Tapp intersection.
It would help if there was a four way traffic light added on this street so that it would help with the traffic pattern.

I would like to highlight what I believe to be one remaining safety concern along that B-Line bike path. It has to do with the bridge on Allen that crosses over the open drainage (right by the Traffic Division's garage). When approaching the bridge from either direction, there are significant gaps on either side where there is no barrier between the road and the drainage culvert. I am concerned that a cyclist -- perhaps one pulling over to allow a car to pass -- could misjudge their stopping distance and ride into the culvert. Additionally, there is no easy way for someone who does fall in to climb back out.
I believe that the expense to fix this would be low. It appears that an attempt may have been made to create a curb at one point, but the work appears to be incomplete and not sufficient to stop a bicycle. However, something like a length of guardrail seems like it would be more than sufficient.
Thank you for taking time to read my concern.
