The stop sign on the westbound side of 11th Street at the intersection with Maple was vandalized. It looks like it was tagged with silver-gray paint, and then someone tried to paint over that with red paint. I tried to see if I could remove it with a mild solvent but didn't want to risk further damage. Since folks frequently seem to not notice this stop sign and accidentally run it, it might be best to completely replace it. There are some special coatings that can be applied to a new sign to make it easier to remove grafitti in the future. It might be worthwhile to apply one of these coatings to a replacement sign, since our neighborhood is frequently targeted.
I would like the street lighting in front of my house to be removed (or at a bare minimum, the light fixture being updated to something that is DarkSky lighting approved where it is ideally motion sensor activated and directionally pointed down and away from my house). It forces us to do substantial light control inside my house when we'd generally like to leave blinds and curtains open to the view of the gold course across the street, it disrupts sleep for some of the members of our household, and this type of light pollution is terrible for wildlife. When we moved into this house in 2022, the light quickly burned out and was not operational for more than 18 months. That was definitely a better situation than the light now that it is illuminated again. The light pole is 168 135.
The entire extension of the B-Line past 11th street going on to Crescent has not been plowed.
Between 811 and 815 N Jackson, the sidewalk across the alley is . . . gone?? There's just a grassy gap there now. It's surely the city's responsibility to replace it since it across the alley.
Between 925 and 927 W Jackson, there's a sidewalk across the alley that's made of asphalt or something. It's down at a different level from the surrounding sidewalk and is a tripping hazard. Because it's across the alley, it's the city's responsibility to repair.
The bit of sidewalk across the alley is made of bricks that are at a significantly lower level than the surrounding sidewalk and therefore is a tripping hazard. Because it's in front of an alley, I suppose it's the city's responsibility to upgrade the bit to something safer, like has been done on the opposite side of the street.
The curb on the south side of 2nd street on the southeast corner of the intersection of 2nd and Woodlawn needs to be painted yellow. (all curbs in the intersection should be evaluated.) It was painted yellow prior to the curb and sidewalk work this past summer but the new curb has not been painted. This is particularly problematic when traveling south on woodlawn and turning east on 2nd if there is a car parked on the south side of 2nd street close to the intersection but all curbs in the intersection should be evaluated.
Resident, working as a rideshare driver, reports observing traffic at the intersection of E 17th St. and N Eagleson Ave. for approximately 20 minutes. During this time several pedestrian near-misses were observed. Resident believes that Rush Week has created a situation where IU students are frequently crossing the road while distracted with their smartphones (i.e., participating in Rush-related activities). Consequently, students are using sidewalks according to existing paint markings on the road. Although 2 crosswalk curb ramps have been removed recently, paint for those crosswalks is still on the road. The paint is also impeded by mud in parts, which can be difficult for drivers to see. Students are prompting traffic to stop at 4 separate locations along E 17th St. at irregular intervals. Resident is requesting removal of old sidewalk markings and/or posting of a crosswalk closure sign.
