Resident (or visitor) driving a silver Ford Edge (IN-214EKW, I think) turned left (west) onto 11th Street from Lincoln and sped down the entire block against the one-way posted direction to get to Washington Street. This short block has no sidewalks and visibility is difficult given the mature, evergreen conifers in the area. People and animals are often walking in the street and are not expecting a careless driver to travel in that direction. This is definitely not the street to drive down the wrong way. Please advise this person that rules are there for a reason, and unilaterally disregarding them due to perceived inconvenience is selfish and uncivil, in addition to being a traffic violation.
IU "Trident" logo has been incorporated into the roof design of 817 N. Washington, a rental house managed by "Cream and Crimson" properties (a small local company that is not affiliated with the University.) Is this a violation of any City signage ordinances (size, placement, trademark infringement, etc.)? It is unsightly.
Student Painters: Corner of Jefferson and E Third; Student Painters and College Painters: corner of High Street and E Third Street.
Griffin Realty "For Sale" sign has been placed in the City right-of-way in front of this house. Company has been contacted about the issue, but they have hitherto arrogantly dismissed the situation. Sign should be located on south side of sidewalk on the actual property being offered for sale, not in the City right-of-way that makes the sign visible for several blocks.
This tree is going to fall over very soon. We would like to remove this tree as fast as possible. If the tree were to fall, it would hit the power line and cut off the power for the majority of the street. In addition, the cars parked on that street could also be damaged when the tree falls. I understand it is private property technically, but I feel like their landlord should allow this.
We watched as a swarm of bees relocated themselves to a large Maple tree at the corner of 11th and Washington. We are not concerned having the bees around, and love the tree, but have some concern for the health of the tree. The bees entered the tree through several openings, so it is obviously hollow to some extent. I am asking if you have someone to assess the tree since it is on city property. Thank you.
There is a hollow maple tree on city property at the corner of East 11th Street and Walnut Street. There is currently an active bee hive in it. Given how close the tree is to houses in the area, the fact that the tree is hollow is cause for concern. If the tree and the bee hive could be assessed, that would be appreciated. Thank you!
Dead tree in City ROW along Washington Street.
One of the two trees in the City ROW in front of this house (the west tree) is almost completely dead with large branches high up that look like they could fall any minute onto something or someone. The east tree looks fine, except for all the vines growing on it that could be stressing it.
