I have repeatedly asked my neighbors at 717 S. Park Ave. not to block the alley with their cars. They continue to do so as illustrated in the attached photo, taken 8/30 at about 11:30am. The alley was blocked much of yesterday 8/29 as well.
The traffic light for Catalent at Fairview & Patterson needs to be fixed! It is set up for Catalent, but on down times it backs up traffic on Patterson. The light on Patterson changes every four seconds! Fix it!
Four or five abandoned vehicles on the street with homeless living inside some and tearing apart others to sell parts. ALSO, one large trash bin on the side of the road. I asked J and B Disposal to place it out from the side of the road and they don't know where to put it. The bin has both lids missing and trash blows down the street onto my property. My family and visitors have to SQUEEZE between abandoned vehicles and a trash bin.
There's a dumpster in the street, and a truck has been parked across from it for several days. It's very narrow for a car or truck to drive through, and a larger vehicle probably couldn't get through at all. There's nothing wrong with the way the truck is parked. The problem is the dumpster. It shouldn't be there.

There is a recurring problem at this intersection. Drivers heading west on 3rdSt/46 and turning south onto College Mall Rd routinely block the eastbound traffic on 3rd St by blocking the intersection after their turn light turns red. Tonight the intersection was blocked for the eastbound traffics entire green light. The Do Not Block the Intersection signs go unnoticed or unheeded. I’ve contacted the Mayors office before and my complaint was forwarded to someone who couldn’t/wouldn’t do anything to address the problem. I’ve contacted the Police Department who said it wasn’t a priority and they didn’t have the manpower to do anything even if it was a priority. My suggestion is to make the Do Not Block the Intersection signs more noticeable and to shorten the duration of the left turn signal for those turning south onto College Mall Rd from the westbound 3rd St lanes. Thank you.
We are sick and tired of the builder David Howard destroying our property and saying he will fix things and he never does. We have had to endure his horrible construction at 1110 S. Covenanter Drive for over two years now. He has damaged a garden block retainer wall and has said for over a year now that he would fix it. This is what he and his crew did to our front yard this morning. He said that we shouldn't worry because that is city property. Since the city will not install sidewalks in front of our house, we are the ones who are responsible for the maintenance on our grass and right now he has destroyed it and it looks like shit. We are sick and tired of dealing with him and having him promise to fix things that he destroys on our property. I have never dealt with such a crappy builder except Fatih Akin in 2012. Please advise what to do because this is unacceptable.
Private apartment company buses are stopping dead center on teh crosswalk to unload, wait, and load passengers. It blocks traffic. IU and city buses go up the block and use the pull off to do the same. Tell the private buses not to block the road. There are simply too many of them. Their passengers can walk the 100 feet just like normal people do. (it sits there 30 seconds to unload and load. Take that times 8 complexes and two runs an hour and you now have 8 minutes of 60 minutes blocked to traffic. It is already a bottle neck. This makes it much worse for no gain.
