The metal drain cover in front of Mother Bear's at 1428 E Third Street has fallen in (again). It clearly is not stable and one day someone may trip over it.

There's a huge hole left by the internet-cable installing company at the curb in front of my house, 1207 E Skylark Ct. This problem has been reported twice, tickets 192627 and 193023. Both tickets were closed but the problem remains. The contractor made a wan attempt to fill the hole, tossing some loose gravel into it, after I filed the first ticket. The attempt was useless and I filed the second ticket. It was closed without comment and, as far as I can tell, without investigation. The hole is now far deeper and wider. I realize it's likely false hope that you'll do anything more than close this ticket, forgive me, but after a winter of watching the hole grow, I'm asking again for a repair. Thank you.
The brush along the sidewalk has encroached so much that I have to step into the street in a few places. I’m sure the adjacent property is owned by the railroad. Can we clean it up and charge them? This area could use attention by Brighten BTown - the weeds are really tall along the curbs, and there have been many car accidents, but no follow up by a street sweeper.
On the corner of Covenanter and high on the right as you’re heading south on high there’s a dangerous drop off into a rocky drainage area that needs to have a guardrail or some type of protection. The road lists in the direction of the drop off and at some point fire and rescue is going to have to fish a car out of the drop off. Not sure how this was allowed to be built without a guardrail. It may be the biggest pothole in the city.
See closed case #184736: in front of Mother Bear's on E Third Street. The metal drain cover on the sidewalk again has fallen in and is a tripping hazard for pedestrians. Maybe it is time to look for a more permanent solution rather than just putting it back in its place.
There are a couple intersections around where I live that 100% need to be four way stops. It is incredibly scary trying to creep up and look for cars that could be coming because it is impossible to see them without being practically in the middle of the road. The biggest problem areas are on Smith Ave and E University St. For a more detailed location I would be willing to take some pictures once I get a response.
Construction for hopewell neighborhood: driving west between rogers and walker. Today is the 3rd time there is a team working without a flagger directing traffic in the street. The work is being done with a bobcat of some kind blocking one lane immediately before a hill, where you cannot see oncoming traffic. I’ve called twice about this already. Thank you!
Debris from construction left on either side of 11th street and Indiana ave. Needs cleaned up
I am the HOA Board president for Windermere Woods. I have received comments regarding holes that were dug in the common area between the lower portion of Windermere Woods Drive and College Mall Rd. I honestly don’t know if it’s a sewer issue or something left from the installation of fiber optic lines. I’m starting with sewers due to the location of the holes. There are two storm sewer grates along the east side of WW Dr by CMR. If you go about 10 feet directly east of the grates, you’ll see the holes. Both are about 12-18” deep and I’m concerned someone may step into one and be injured. I’m happy to meet someone and show them the two spots. If it’s not a COB issue, I’ll reach out to the fiber optic people. Thanks.
Is there any way we can have the intersection of 5th & Rogers St. traffic light automated? What will it take to use some demand sensors / cameras at this intersection? The signals churn through every 'mode' -- protected turn arrows when there is nobody in those turn lanes. This intersection has been a frustration for.... a long time. please help!? Ken Horrocks
