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.

I I know from the last email that I sent you that you're working on a plan. In the meantime, the situation in front of wheeler mission is just getting worse. There are people camping down there they have their belongings thrown everywhere. They're on the sidewalks. They're in the street. The homeless themselves are in the middle of the road. It is unsafe to drive through there at times and unsafe 100% of the time for people to walk down that sidewalk. This needs to be addressed and cleaned up

I am reaching out this morning to ask that the city address the homeless camp site next to RCA park north of Cherokee Dr and IMI concrete plant. I believe this was supposed to addressed after the severe cold a while back. Most of us on Cherokee Dr were completely understanding and have been tolerant of the homeless camp. However, the size of this camp has ballooned to highly unsafe levels. Unsafe for the residents of the camp and to the residents in this neighborhood. There has been a sharp increase in trespassing, fighting, littering all over the neighborhood, abandoned bikes and other junk. There is a constant flow of people up Cherokee and behind it and it’s only increasing. Three nights ago we had someone knocking on doors and trespassing at multiple houses. I could hear a neighbor yelling at this man because he was creeping around his house. I caught him on camera as well as a guy last night who climbed on my porch and moved furniture to look through my window. Does that sound a little creepy? It is. Stuff like this has happened more often and it really needs to be addressed. We have the services here in town, maybe not to help this number of people , but we have services and camping on private property and harassing a neighborhood as well as a new neighborhood being built isn’t part of those services. Please look into clearing this camp as soon as possible and preventing it from being established again. It’s been cleared a few times, only to have the problem increase in numbers time and time again. It is unsafe and unsanitary and the problem is only getting worse by the day.

Last summer or the summer before that, Smithville came through the neighborhood to lay fiber optic cable. This year, AT&T is doing the same. Digging up yards, laying cable, spilling oil, making noise, leaving expensive machines running, spewing fumes, and wasting gas, etc. I suppose that Xfinity will want to do the same someday. Isn't it obvious that this installation of duplicative infrastructure is a profligate use of resources and imposes repeated harm on the environment? Why should every service provider be installing independent infrastructure? Wait, I know the answer to this one: money, profit for the business. Just not anything better for the consumer, the animals who live here, or the environment overall. These companies want to do business here? Adopt some guidelines, ordinances, or laws that compel them to cooperate. Allowing multiple corporations to lay their own cable is wasteful, harmful, and short-sighted.

Used syringe found at the base of the alley that connects Coolidge Dr and Graham Dr (alley runs parallel to Rogers, behind 2400 S Rogers. The syringe is at the Coolidge Dr end of the alley.) Called the Indiana Recovery Alliance, but nobody answered and their voicemail is full. I would like to request removal.
