At 704 N. Park Ridge Road Ms. Kaye Hill reports that the sidewalk in front of her house is sinking and is adjacent to a storm drain. Sidewalk sink is helping to collect water and contribute to some flooding from recent rains. There are green and orange paint marks on the sidewalk there and it may already be on the list for repair. Please contact Kaye and take a look at the site to determine what can be done and advise Kaye. Thank you.
The large maple tree at the front of Fire Station #3 was struck by lightning about a year ago, the tree is showing signs of degeneration, and there are Large limbs that hang down over the apron of the fire station that protrude into the driving path of our emergency apparatus. I have asked for the tree to be removed, however the tree has some large deadfall limbs hanging over the sidewalk (Fall Hazard to pedestrians) and about 6-7 limbs that need to be removed to render it safe. This is a huge safety issue and needs to be addressed. The limb that hangs over the apron needs to be removed to allow apparatus to safely enter and exit the bay of Fire Station #3.
Please have public streetlights installed at the entrance of Whittington Commons on Allen Street. It is very dark, and it is difficult to see entrance. I know this is a private road within WC, but Allen is a public street and it is a hazard to not have streetlights at entrance given the public sidewalk crosses the entrance. Light it up!
I just took possession of a home I bought as sidewalk construction on E. Morningside was being completed. The home is at 4021 E. Morningside. It is my understanding the City redid part of the driveway after having to destroy it for sidewalk work. Unfortunately it appears a corner of the drive (front right / SE) is already cracking/chipping/spalling (see photo). I'm requesting the City patch this up before it continues to flake (not huge now but would like addressed so as not to spread) as an area driven over frequently. Otherwise looks fantastic and very happy with the new sidewalk and drive portion. Great neighborhood addition.
There is a large city tree -- a sugar maple -- in front of our house at 2321 S. Montclair. It's between the sidewalk and the road, near our driveway. The tree is dead and has started to lose limbs. I hope the city can send a crew to remove it soon. A few years ago, Doug Fowler (arborist) suggested putting a support in the tree to help its stability. I paid for that support, so if possible, please ask the crew to leave it behind in case I could ever re-use it. Thank you!
There is a large put next to the sidewalk at 7th and Grant that has been there for over a week. It used to have caution tape around it, but that has since disappeared, too. I just don’t want anyone to fall in! Thanks!
