please plow this street. It has been impassable since Saturday. Thankfully a private plow truck made a single pass on his way to clear a drive way but I can not understand why the city has not plowed or salted 16th street at all since the snow started on Friday. It is dangerous and now school resumes on Monday and still nothing.
White car is parked on the north side of the street. There is parking only on the south side due to the narrowness of Smith. This is illegal parking and this auto has parked this way often. I am going to start reporting it because it creates a narrowing problem for the street.
There is a sinkhole developing in the northbound lane of fee road at the intersection with 10th st, near the manhole cover. There is currently a small hole in the asphalt, but there is a deeper hole that is roughly 2 feet deep below it, and the asphalt around the hole is starting to depress and cave in.
I hope I can coherently explain this. If I don't effectively convey my complaint, please call me. I work for IU Campus Bus Service. I've noticed that the pedestrian crossing signal for peds crossing Fee Ln on the north side of 10th will stay on the "Walk" signal during the transition from 10th St having a green light to an all red (to allow peds to cross in all directions). The problem with this configuration is that a vehicle can effectively get stuck in the middle of the intersection if it was waiting to turn left/north onto Fee from Tenth, while partially in the intersection. In this situation, vehicles can either block the intersection or attempt to squeeze through pedestrians crossing on the north side of the intersection. As you can imagine with a bus, this is a dangerous dilemma.
Street light over the main entrance to the City Utilities service yard has been out for a year. You'd think one of the 100 employees that go in and out of that gate might make a note of it.
Major potholes on this stretch of road. Where W Ratliff meets N Heartstrait RD, its impossible not to hit some potholes.
When W 6th St was repaved they left some utility access places (sometimes called "manholes") lower than the street surface. These could easily bend a bicycle wheel and could cause a cyclist to be injured. There are one or more of these in each block in the 500, 600, & 700 blocks. Some are near the north curb and are sometimes (but not always) covered by parked cars, and some are in the westbound driving lane.
There is an incredibly bright flood light at the back entrance of the house (on N Jackson St) the stays on all night. It comes through the window shades and curtains of my bedroom window and all three of my neighbors homes as well. I’m not sure what the regulation is for nuisance lights on private property but it’d be great to have this light to be warmer in color or at least be motion sensored so we can get some rest in between. The homeowner is not open to hearing feedback from the neighbors so sadly, we have to report this way.
Large tree limb from recent storms. Cut it up in manageable pieces, but too large for our yard waste. I piled it up behind our blue barn next to alley.
Potholes at intersection of W 4th St and S Jackson St. One of them located just east of the intersection.
