Wednesday evening 7:30pm: maroon Toyota Rav4 with New Jersey license plates traveling west on 12th Street turned south on Lincoln (against the One-Way direction) and then speeded to the alley where it turned and parked in the back (north side) of this house. This almost caused an accident, and is a recurring problem with this particular address and vehicle ever since August when the new occupants moved in. Likely an undergraduate, possibly one who is either illiterate or just intellectually handicapped, or perhaps the person simply feels entitled to break Indiana driving laws (maybe there are no laws in New Jersey), but more likely it is just an inconsiderate, self-serving, and dangerous person who disregards rules that s/he deems inconvenient and someone who needs to be held accountable. Please do something about this - pedestrians (human and otherwise) rely on the manner and direction of traffic to be consistent and are not expecting vehicles traveling at relatively high rates of speed and headed in the wrong direction.
Street sign on SW corner of 7th / Grant is leaning. Looks like it was hit by a construction vehicle working at former Poplars property.
The alleyway that runs behind our house at 422 East Cottage Grove, between 10th and Cottage Grove has been extremely dangerous this year. It is very dark and my car, and two of my roommate's cars have been broken into. There was also a car that suspiciously caught on fire and completely burned two nights ago. The alley behind my house is by far the most dangerous part of walking home at night, and I don't feel safe going to my car parked back there at night. We have also had attempted break-ins and many thefts from our porch and surrounding the house.
On 8th St. in between Dunn and Indiana there are absolutely no street lights and it is pitch black at night. One block up the street (towards Grant) there are some but none on our side.
There are no lights on the entire block of our street. It is a very dangerous situation, especially walking at night.
