See attached GIS Map. Mr. Davis thinks that the alley beside his residence has moved 5 to 6 feet into his property. Mr. Davis stated that his neighbor put up a fence up to the edge of the alley forcing the alley to bow. Please check and advice Mr. Davis if there is an encroachment problem.
dumpster in the ROW in front of 225 there is also a trailer west of the dumpster. Please work with BPD to get rid of it.
Mr. Salyers called and expressed concern regarding the intersection of Willis Dr. and Arlington Valley Dr. Apparently, there is only a requirement to stop 3 ways in a 4 way intersection. Mr. Salyers was informed that the City does not maintain this section of street. He was very concerned for safety of citizens, and has been sent Council Meeting Information to possibly contact the council regarding the city.
There has been a bicycle chained to a street sign for 2 years. It is never moved.
Weeds are growing over street on the South East corner at the intersection of Indiana and 13th.
Sidewalk obstructed by vegetation at 211 e cottage grove.

There is a parked trailer in the street, without sufficient reflection or license plates. I do not know who owns it but it has been there for months. It is moved a few feet either way on occasion, but it presents a major safety issue at night and is quite unsightly for a residential neighborhood.
The North/South alley between 810 W. 7th and 804 W. 7th is being encroached upon by gardens, woodpiles, trees/vegetation and possibly the fence and cinder block garage owned by 810 W 7th St. As a result, the alley traffic is being diverted outside of the alley right of way and onto the private property located at 804 W. 7th. This appears to have been going on for a number of years. As the new owner of 804 W. 7th St., it is my full intention to re-claim the property/property line currently being encroached upon and proceed with renovations. I request that the Street Dept contact the owner of 810 W. 7th and order the encroachments be removed. With the assistance of a surveyor, I have located the NW and SW corner pins delineating the right of way and pounded new T posts just outside of the right of way in those spots and plan to post the entire property line once the encroachments are removed. Were I to reclaim the property line today, the alley would become impassible due to said encroachments. I request your assistance in remedying this situation in a civil and legal manner, as requests to the homeowner of 810 W.7th have fallen upon deaf ears. I request that you keep me in the loop regarding this issue. I would be happy to meet with a representative of the street dept, with survey in hand, to assist in clarifying and remedying this issue, as renovations of 804 W. 7th will begin in a few weeks. Thank you for your attention in this manner, Sincerely, Rick Laux Goldfinch Properties LLC Van Zile LLC 812/606-8332 [email protected]
12th St. Between Indiana Ave. and Walnut St. is a two-way street, but two cars can't safely drive on the street at the same time because the street isn't wide enough to accommodate two lanes of traffic and street parking. Often you have to pull over to let people through because the street isn't wide enough, and I've almost lost a mirror because someone was too close several times.
