The yard is overgrown. There is bamboo growing on the southwest corner of the property. there is trash in the parking area. There is a large dying tree in the back yard that poses a hazard--large dead limbs are constantly dropping and the entire tree looks like it could come down on my house. I have filed a report before, I have contacted the owner. I should not have to be a nervous wreck when I go to sleep on nights like last night, thinking the tree could fall on my bedroom. This is a rental property--what about the tenants that pay to live in place that is trashed.

There is an old light pole half way along the alley with a flood light high up that glares light across several lots and shines into my house and porch (748 S. Morton St.). This is not a Duke Energy pole. It is only identifiable by a number 4, about to fall off, and an inspection medallion dated 2003. The pole right at Morton, to which it is connected, says it is owned by Public Service Co. of Indiana, pole number punched into metal plaque 1627-709 and maybe also punched notches for Customer and Owned. An inspection medallion that says OSMOSE insp. 2018. D. This simplest way to end the light leakage would be to remove the light. If properly shielded to prevent the light leakage of course that would be okay too. I have photos, but I can't figure out how to add the file to this UReport. If you could send me an email address I can send the photos as a Word file. I would be glad to meet someone from the city and show them the source of the problem. Thanks for your help. best, Jean Lave

An orange "Core&Main" tarp has been up between our property (1437 N Kinser Pike) and the Aspen Heights property for about 2 years. I spoke with Aspen Heights and they said it was the purview of the city. It doesn't seem to be doing anything productive anymore, as far as I can tell, but if it is, half of it has fallen down. It makes for extra yard work, mowing around it and weedwacking by it. If it can be taken down, that would be great. If it needs to stay up, may we politely request it be fixed where it has fallen.

The main paved walking,bike trail at switchyard park. The bikes especially elecyric bikes are being driven too fast. I push a dog stroller to the dog park and suddenly the bikes go wizzing past us, very fast happens all the time now. They are going to eventually collide with someone walking a child or dog.

This water fountain next to Kroger on the bike bath is too close to this tree to be accessible, especially for a wheelchair to get to the water bottle fill side of the fountain. I can see this only being a larger access issue as the tree grows. The water bottle side would allow a user with one available hand to use the fountain, whereas the drinking sides need one hand to hold the bottle and one to push the button.
