There is a row of storage units immediately to the south of my apartment at Brandon Ct. There is a space between the units and a fence that is supposed to be maintained by Henderson Court. As you can see by the photo (I can provide more), it appears that unhoused people use it as a place to sleep. The area is strewn with trash, and mattress/foundation, and I would suspect that drug activity is or has occurred in the space. Furthermore, several packages have been stolen off of my stoop by occupants of this space. Clearly, this poses a health and safety hazard. I ask that the City investigate the area and assess fines and other sanctions against Granite, the listed property owners or managers. In addition to clean up and possible environmental remediation, I want the area secured in such a fashion that in the future no unhoused people can reoccupy the space. The Department may also need to contact Henderson Court for erection of a fence that denies access for the length of the fence that serves as the property line between Henderson Court and Brandon Court. I would like the City

An out of town friend of ours was on Kirkwood last night. He had come to spend the weekend with his daughter, a graduating senior at IU. He saw that there was an incident brewing and approached officers, who he states were only on the periphery of Kirkwood. He asked them to enter into Kirkwood as the situation was getting out of control. He, a white man, was told if he felt uncomfortable around black people that he should leave. The police, rather than protecting the thousands of students, of all races and nationalities, chose to stand around until gun violence escalated. I hope that you are all deeply ashamed of your lack of concern for the city's residents. IU students, faculty and staff contribute untold monies to the coffers of the city and I hope that you will be able to come up with some sensible policies to protect IU students so they can celebrate the race and all that they bring to the city.
