Poison hemlock infestation along the 4th St walking path between S. Jefferson and S. Roosevelt St in Green acres. This is not the only location of such an infestation of this poisonous invasive in Green Acres. There is also a tree of heaven established here. Lack of maintenance is chronic in this location. In general, lack of maintenance enforcement per city code of ROW and Utility Easements in Green Acres is, in my humble opinion, the reason that those of us who try to maintain our lawns, gardens, and outdoor living spaces, are in a constant losing battle against these invasive species. Sigh.
There is a recurring pothole at the intersection of 17th St. and Kinser Pike that has been partially filled a few times, but the fix only seems to help for a couple weeks. Then it's as bad as always. I travel south on Kinser and turn left (east) onto 17th every day for work, and avoiding the pothole has become almost impossible. If you're coming northbound on Madison and go straight through the green light, you'll hit the hole hard enough to make you think you ran over something.
Countryside between S Adams St and Rockport Rd is really deteriorating, particularly for cyclists. Do you have plans to resurface this soon?
There are several potholes in the alleyway that is between Adams and Pine. This is the alley adjacent to my house at 1221 W. 6th street (Grey House/Red Door). This is a high traffic area because it serves as access to the rear parking areas for several apartments on Kirkwood. The alley is on the south side of the street. it curves around and meets with Pine street. There are potholes at both ends of the alley. Some repairs were made in the spring/summer but it will need new gravel or asphalt before Winter. Thank you for your attention to this.
The alleyway on the southside of W 6th street between Adams and Pine (adjacent to 1221 W. 6th) is in SERIOUS need of repair. There is a lot of traffic in that alley as a result of the off street parking situation for the apartment houses near Kirkwood and Adams. The alleyway was covered in asphalt at one point and repaired with gravel. Today the gravel has been displaced and the surface is VERY uneven. Additionally there is a hazardous blindspot at the corner of this alley as a result of unkept landscaping at the abandoned house next door. Please feel free to contact me for more information. -Jacob Kuebler Homeowner 1221 W. 6th
Cobra head light at north west corner of intersection of N. Adams and W. Kirkwood is going on and off.
There's something else going on in the neighborhood. The Indiana RR trestle on Adams Street is hit about twice a week. A RR truck took a look at it a few days ago. Rebar is exposed again, they will have to fix it. A neighbor says the trestle is hit about twice a week. I saw a semi with a 40-foot trailer turn around at 6th Street and Adams. Closing Vernal Pike is squeezing traffic, and maps don't help. How about a "No Trucks" and "Low clearance ahead" signs at 5th and Adams?
People have been using this walking trail as a road using cars, trucks, and motorized scooters. Driving cars on this path is unacceptable. There was once a cable at the top stopping people from driving but it has been cut. Please put a metal post at the beginning and end of this path preventing vehicles before someone gets injured.
Pedestrian sign outside Samira (northwest corner of 6th/Walnut) doesn't have functioning white bulbs, or, it is only displaying the countdown and "do not walk" signals and never the white walk signal. Thanks!
