Slow but flowing traffic is safer and more pleasant for everyone compared to stop and sprint jams on 10th. Put a signal or over or underpass at SPEA/Wells crosswalk and a left turn signal at Union and 10th on 10th Street. Thank you.
Hello. I'm following up to my SPEA crosswalk problem. Maybe I don't understand it but doesn't the City control that? Seems like the City is always catering to IU or is afraid instead of the rest of us living here. But something like a signal to take turns would work too. Just crazy if you ever watch it between classes. Heck, even a warning light blocks away to avoid it during those fifteen minute jams. But it's a real problem, more than a request for convenience. If the City can act, act please. I'd avoid campus if I could but it's huge and in the middle of town! Plus I have to go to campus sometimes. So help! If IU is in charge of funding and doing it and has authority over the City please let me know as will contact them. But seems they don't care much for the town other than itself. Thousands would be grateful! Thank you all. I'd even pay into a fund to stop that crazy logjam. I don't want people getting hit or cars.
Washington & Cottage Grove -- Miller Pipeline construction crew left their equipment blocking the sidewalk after they left for the day on Friday afternoon. This will probably remain on the sidewalk until they return on Monday morning. This seems like a substantial safety hazard, and extremely inconsiderate since they have the sidewalk on the other side of the street all torn up.
Pedestrian and bike access is strongly needed for University Elementary school! Please work with the INDOT to make this happen.
The north and southbound Smith Road bike lanes between 3rd and 10th are full of debris - rocks, limbs, and trash - and need to be swept.
Broken glass and trash on sidewalk at 700 n Washington street.
Miller Pipeline work has left crumbling curbs and sidewalks all along North Washington Street between 12th and 10th. Large pieces of concrete in the street.

This morning, while driving to work at Cook Pharmica, I was going a different way than normal. I was on 3rd St instead of 2nd St, and needed to get over to turn onto Patterson abruptly because I wasn't too familiar with the area. A city employee driving a city truck not only didn't acknowledge my turn signal, he sped up. He proceeded to try and "race" me, and when I was finally able to get in front of him because I couldn't get behind him due to other vehicles, he proceeded to turn his bright lights on to distract me. Naturally, I sped up. The city employee sped up with me and began to tail me, all the way to Cook. I pulled over into the Cook lot and attempted to get a license plate, but he sped away. All I could get was what I believe the last 2 digits to be, 50. I want you to understand, as a city employee, this person represents not only the city, but the city government as well. This was a HORRIBLE display of unprofessional and inappropriate behavior. I do not know that side of the city well, and for all this guy knew, I could have been from out of town. And that's the impression an out-of-towner would have of city government. Next time this happens, I will not only take a video of it, I will post it on every social media website and news outlet available. Fire immature people who act like this because they should NOT be working in government. Thanks and have a nice day.
north side of cottage grove sidewalk just east of walnut is completely obstructed by bushes.
