missing crosswalk sign
Pothole where alley meets N Washington. Alley between Cottage Grove and 10th Street near 612 N Washington.
Large pile of lumber (4x4 posts) has been sitting by the street (11th) for at least a year. Also, large vehicles are being parked there even though it is city property and clearly marked "No Parking" on the north side of the road.
Leaves and trash clutter North Adams Street near the Indiana Railroad Tressel. The leaves on West 8th Street are a safety hazard.
I was facing East on Indiana 45 and turning left (North) onto Kinser Pike. I didn't make the green left turn arrow and ended up in the middle of the intersection waiting to make an unprotected left. My light turned red but oncoming traffic still had a green, the oncoming turn lane got a green arrow. I was unable to clear the intersection, was unable to back up with cars behind me, and was blocking traffic from Kinser Pike when they got a green light. This is dangerous, I had assumed that oncoming traffic also had a red and would stop (as it had been for years), I was starting to clear the intersection by making the left when I realized oncoming cars weren't stopping. A turn lane where unprotected turns are allowed should not get a red while oncoming traffic still has a green.
The sidewalk in front of 705 W. 13th street has a big trip hazard from recent work that has been done. Please fix this. Thank you.
Two large potholes in street at entrance to parking lot.
At the north end of the sidewalk out front, there is a street sign that blocks the sidewalk. Would it be possible to relocate the sign so that it is not in the way of pedestrians? It is dangerous in the dark.
On the far east end of the brick sidewalk out front, nearly against the retaining wall of 311 E. Cottage Grove and alongside the alley is what remains of what was probably a former street sign pole. It was broken off at some point about 8 inches from the ground. The remaining stump of a steel pole is still there, and it is *VERY* sharp on the tip. It was painted yellow at some point - possibly an attempt to make this hazard visible, but that doesn't help at night. Someone could trip on it, or worse, someone could trip on something else and fall and be impaled on the spike at the top of it. Please remove it ASAP, but whoever removes it needs to understand how to lay bricks because after removal the bricks will need to be relaid and perhaps some will need replacement. Also, no need to replace the sign because there hasn't been one there in a long time and it was ridiculous in the first place to install a sign in a sidewalk where someone could walk right into it in the dark.
A large amount of silt has collected in a dip on the north shoulder of the road, whish is currently marked as a bike lane. The pile of silt is so deep it causes traction issues for bikes, and has begun to develop dangerous ruts. I know the new multiuse path will make its way over there sooner or later amd the issue may be fixed at that time, but this silt has been collecting here for many months and has significantly worsened recently to create a real road hazard.
