Sheriff's office vehicle observed speeding through the school crossing speed zone on W Kirkwood Ave at Maple St. this morning at 9:00 AM.
I was traveling west on Kirkwood Ave this morning approaching the school crossing 20 mph speed zone. It is marked with flashing lights on both ends of the speed zone. The Sheriff's Dept vehicle in front of me ignored the flashing lights and accelerated to the normal speed limit. The driver also ignored the signage in the center of the road and the presence of a school crossing guard.
I drive this route two or three times each week at times when the school speed zone lights are flashing and nearly always witness several vehicles speeding through the zone. It annoys me to see this disregard for the safety of pedestrians in a clearly marked speed zone. Witnessing a law enforcement vehicle & driver doing the same this morning made me a little angry. The vehicle was a black Dodge Durango with Sheriff's office license plate number 10450. Please let them know about this misbehavior.
It's past time for enhanced enforcement of the 20 mph speed limit in this zone when the warning lights are flashing. It's for safety, after all.
Sewer Problems (Sanitary Sewers)

The water in all 3 of our toilet bowls is simultaneously way down below normal. In 2019 we had similar issues in the neighborhood and it was caused by a plugged-up city main. It ended up causing a sewage backup into our basement for which we received compensation from the city.

Fully understand main streets and emergency areas must be given priority. Is there any time schedule (approximate) when Olde Mill Drive in the Winslow Farm additional could be plowed. Have driveway cleared but street is virality impassable due to snow. Any information would be helpful in planning groceries trips over the next two to three days.
Thanks to all the City Workers for their hard work in their attempts in keeping our city safe!

Request snow plowing on East Dunstan Drive by the early morning hours of 1/26 as I need to report the hospital as an essential worker and won't be able to make it up the hill to Allendale unless the road is plowed. Thanks for your consideration.

The snow plow has pushed a giant snow wall in front of the side walk leading to my front door. It is almost 4' tall. Please send a plow to remove it.

To whom it concerns,
Good morning! I am writing to express my displeasure with the snow removal services of the city in my neighborhood! Yesterday, I spent two and half hours removing the sidewalks along my property (703 West Ninth St., Fairview and West Ninth Street). It took me a long time to remove the heavy snow. I did this so the citizens and children would be able to walk easily on the sidewalks. I also had to remove the snow from the entrance to my driveway (on Fairview) so that I could drive out in emergency. I have a neighbor who has a medical issue that in case of emergency must get out of her driveway which she shares with me.
I find the city ordinance obliging the homeowners to remove the snow from their property after 24 hours to be unfair! The amount of snow on my property when I removed it was close to 16 inches. Now it is over 3 feet because the snow removal crew dumped the streets snow on my sidewalks and driveway.
Please send someone to remove the snow from my property. I am 73 years old and can no longer remove the snow for the second time.
Please contact me at 812-322-4702 if you need to talk to me regarding this issue.

Ticket #207736
I got a response for my email and tried to respond to it. But my message bounced back!
I wrote "Thank you for responding to my e-mail! What happens to my request that the city dispatch a snow removal crew to address my compliance? I still need to get out of my driveway for an emergency!"
