Dear Parks and Recreation Department,
We live in the residential neighborhood just across the street from Upper Cascades Skate Park. This is the second time a large group of cars and motorcycles has gathered there. During these gatherings, the motorcycles and vehicles repeatedly drive up and down Kinser Pike well beyond the posted speed limit, creating excessive noise from their engines and tailpipes.
This disturbance has been quite disruptive to our household. We have a nine-month-old baby who struggles to sleep even with our windows closed (which we shouldn’t have to close due to this disturbance), and our dog becomes frightened by the loud popping sounds.
If this group has obtained a permit for these activities, I respectfully request that Parks and Recreation notify nearby residents in advance so we can prepare accordingly. If they do not have a permit, or if this is a recurring event, I urge the department to reconsider allowing such gatherings out of consideration for those who live in the surrounding area.
This is now the second occurrence; after the first, we had hoped it would not happen again.
Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.
Excessive Growth

Bradford Pears (invasive species) located at Monroe Water Treatment Plant. The two trees are located at the discharge point of a surface drain. More importantly, the trees are located directly adjacent to the Hoosier National Forest, which is just a mere 50ft away (across Shady Side Dr). Currently, the trees are bearing fruit. It appears that these fruits' seeds have the opportunity to traverse the slope and end up in our watershed, tainting the Hoosier National Forest, as an invasive species. The trees should be removed ASAP, as part of the City's initiative to systematically remove Bradford Pear trees from public property. Given the proximity to the National Forest and in the confines of the Lake Monroe watershed, this is a priority site.
Street & Traffic Signs

The issue is the street sign at the corner of Matlock and Headley. Someone had knocked the street sign down, which used to only indicate Headley Road as you were turning onto it from Matlock. The sign was finally replaced indicating both Headley Road and Matlock Road only they put it indicating the wrong road for each. In other words, the Headley Road sign is pointed towards Matlock Road and the Matlock Road sign is pointed to Headley Road. It needs to be rotated 90 degrees.

The S. Walnut / Miller Drive traffic light isn't working properly after the utility work was done at the intersection last month. The Miller Dr light cycles green when there are no cars and it stays red on S. Walnut for 40 seconds...way too long for no cars on Miller.

See case #205800. Deck was rebuilt and now it is in violation of setbacks. Your site only allows one picture to be uploaded. Attached is what the deck looked like before. You can drive by and see what is looks like now. When they rebuilt it they extended it almost all the way to the sidewalk, and lately it has been covered with a tent and the tenants use it to party outside in full view of everyone. This is ridiculous, but it is Brawley so it is not unexpected...
Nuisance Lights

This place was lit up like a 7-11 all night! Lights in violation of city code - unshielded, visible element causing extreme glare and documented light trespass. This is disruptive to rhythms of bats and other animals, and it is a nuisance to neighbors. Irresponsible owners. Please enforce
Inaccessible Parking
124 E 6th St
- Case Date:
- 10/11/2025
Backing into the parking spots is not accessible. It takes too long to back into a spot and other cars honk at each other. I yelled that cars behind me had to back up, and they told me to shut the fuck up. Not conducive. Please change them back to front end parking. Please bring peace back to bloomington
