Other: Re ticket #203149, how is this and other tickets continually closed when someone has to maintain the roadway for public use. This isn’t a private no entry roadway. Who has to maintain this for use? If our car breaks down in this hole are we to sue Simon properties? Someone has to have an answer aside from “streets doesn’t do this”. Engineering, another dept.?
Most tickets of this type should be closed within 7 days, although some cases may be longer. 4 days have already passed.
