There is a tall tree in Butler park across the street from our house. We have noticed that it’s rotted out and leaning towards our house. We are concerned that it could come down in a storm and impact our home. We would like to request that this tree be removed. Thank you!

Hi! There’s a really large tree right across the street from our house that is totally rotten out and dead on one side and leaning towards our house. I’m terrified it will fall on us. I talked to a parks employee today who said he also sent an email. Hopefully it can be taken down asap, thank you!

My suggestion is there needs to be railings on these little bridges over the creek in Switchard Park. I can see kids walking on these and failing off of these bridges. Please put up a railing on these before someone gets hurt.

This is not a concern just a question- how do you decide where to put bus shelters? I live near Walmart and see there is a bus shelter near walmart on the Leonard Springs side but no shelter at the stop in front of Walmart on the
2 nd st side. Just curious as to how bus shelter locations are decided.
Sewer Problems (Sanitary Sewers)

Hello!
We still have a very bad sewer odor at 210 E. Gilbert. I first reported this issue in November, 2024. It has not been resolved. We tested the water in the creek, and the ph levels are high, indicating sewage in the water. Here is the report below. Please contact me at 812-322-7997.

My name is Jessica Will and I am a volunteer for the Adopt-A-Stream program.
I usually monitor the Griffy Lake site, but recently learned about water quality concerns in my neighborhood. So, this month, I also tested two sites along the creek running through Matlock Heights and into Cascade Park.
I believe there are strong indicators that our creek contains sewage and that sewage is being fed into Cascade Park. Please see results and observations below.
Site 1 results
pH: 8
Nitrate: 2
Nitrite: 0
Oxygen: 5
Site 2 results
pH: 9
Nitrate: 3
Nitrite: 1
Oxygen: 5
Observations
Elevated pH and nitrate levels may be indicators of sewage or other contamination.
Smells of sewage and detergent were strong at both sites.
Several manholes are placed along the stream, suggesting sewer lines run through the creek.
Please see attached image for site locations (blue pins).
I'm writing to share these results and concerns. I'm also seeking your guidance as to how to get the city involved in additional testing and potential sewage line repair.
