Nearly identical to case #188757 involving previous tenant at this location, and generally to cases #193315, #193314, and #193039. New tenant has been observed driving west from Lincoln along 11th Street against the one-way direction to get to alley where parking spot is located. Car was a BMW SUV with Indiana (Elkhart County) license plate.
Following up with case #193627: at least one of the residents at 801 N. Lincoln is driving west on 11th Street from Lincoln (against the One-Way direction) to get to the parking places. Even though it's only a half-block, they should obey the rules because people walk on that street regularly (there are no sidewalks) and they are not expecting a car to be racing toward them out of the blue from the wrong direction. You can tell he has done it when his parked car is angled toward the NW.
On 10th St during the rush hours, drivers going straight will often swerve into the right turn lanes to go around drivers who are turning left and waiting for a break in the traffic. This is dangerous and I had an close call once when I was going to turn right onto Pete Ellis and a driver in the straight/left turn lane swerved into my lane to get around the car in front of them. This is also dangerous since a driver turning left doesn't expect oncoming vehicles in the right turn lane to go straight. I'd recommend a traffic officer be present during the rush hours one day to ticket people who do this so people realize that this is not acceptable. Thanks for listening!
Could use a week or two of speed limit enforcement. We often have cars gunning their engines and far exceeding the speed limit. It's dangerous on such a narrow street. Some moderate speed bumps might help, or occasional law enforcement presence
For some reason, issue #193314 is not visible. Tenant at 800 N. Lincoln disregards "One-way" sign and is travels south on Lincoln from 12th Street to get to alley and parking spot behind house. Vehicle was dark red Toyota SUV with New Jersey license plates. Case is similar to #188757 and #193039.
Wednesday evening 7:30pm: maroon Toyota Rav4 with New Jersey license plates traveling west on 12th Street turned south on Lincoln (against the One-Way direction) and then speeded to the alley where it turned and parked in the back (north side) of this house. This almost caused an accident, and is a recurring problem with this particular address and vehicle ever since August when the new occupants moved in. Likely an undergraduate, possibly one who is either illiterate or just intellectually handicapped, or perhaps the person simply feels entitled to break Indiana driving laws (maybe there are no laws in New Jersey), but more likely it is just an inconsiderate, self-serving, and dangerous person who disregards rules that s/he deems inconvenient and someone who needs to be held accountable. Please do something about this - pedestrians (human and otherwise) rely on the manner and direction of traffic to be consistent and are not expecting vehicles traveling at relatively high rates of speed and headed in the wrong direction.
THERE IS AN ABANDONED RED FORD PROBE THAT HAS BEEN ON THE PROPERTY FOR AT LEAST TWO MONTHS. NO LICENSE PLATES, AND IT NEVER MOVES.

According to municipal code 15.04.020, part 6 I believe that the red vehicle located in the driveway of the property qualifies as an abandoned vehicle. It has been there since February 12, after officers chased the driver into the driveway (see picture). It was partially dismantled soon after and has remained in inoperable condition since that time. As I have witnessed multiple officers approach the house since the time that the car was abandonded, I am not going to approach the house to ask them to remove it. I request that the vehicle be towed. Thanks.
The vehicle is up on a block, some metal and other junk in the driveway. It has been there since Christmas (I think). The windows are broken out and it is just an accident waiting to happen. I don't think anyone is living there at this time, grass has not been mowed for sometime. I believe it is a rental. It would be terrible if some kid died over there playing around.
