- 6/10/2003
citizen querried in re plans for improvement for three locations: rodgers rd between sare and snoody, olcott in hyde park, and generally potholes throughout the city. said they were "aweful".
Mr. Sutherland is frustrated and perplexed, that the City has the nerve to take on so many construction projects at one time, especially when all the students are back in town. He had to detour 4 different times just to get to work on the west side of town. He thinks this is very poor planning on the part of the City, and he'd like to know how all of this construction can be scheduled to take place at the same time?
She called to lodge a complaint about the speed humps that have been installed on Morningside Drive. She lives in Park Ridge east and can't "catch the light" at Smith and 3rd and can't use 10th Street because of the "awful bicycles". She says we have just created "one large driveway " for the people who live on Morningside.
sidewalk torn up in the 300 block, in front of Taco Bell (think by gas company) and was never repaired. Has been out for awhile and is a hazard to pedestrians (Carol I also think they did not repair the sidewalk next to Alice's house on Morton and 10th. You may want to address both of these walks with them)
After traffic calming device was installed at the corner of 3rd and Rogers, sidewalk had to be realigned. Realigning meant tree had to be dug up and the lawn in this area was never fixed. See letter
MR. LUCAS CALLED AND STATED THAT SEWER LINES WERE INSTALLED TWICE IN A YEAR (THE LAST BEING ABOUT 5 WEEKS AGO) AND THAT DAMAGE WAS DONE TO HIS PROPERTY AND HAS NOT YET BEEN REPAIRED.
Citizen says there is a utility cut right where Headley road curves around in front of Headley School (where Matlock becomes Headley). Says its been there for about a month and needs to be filled in. Believes it was City Utilities working there but not sure.
DENNIS SISCOE IS BUILDING A HOUSE AT 2419 W EVERGREEN DRIVE. APPARENTLY HE HAD TO COME ACROSS THE FRONT YARD OF MR. LUCAS' HOUSE TO HOOK ONTO THE CITY SEWER. IT HAS BEEN OVER TWO WEEKS AND THE TRENCH HAS NOT BEEN PROPERLY COVERED. THERE IS SEVERAL ROCK AND DEBRIS IN HIS YARD. HE WANTED TO KNOW IF THIS LINE HAD BEEN INSPECTED AND WHAT CAN BE DONE TO MAKE SISCOE CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. REFERRED TO THE MONROE COUNTY BUILDING DEPARTMENT.
Street Dept. is installing a handicap ramp in front of his property. He says that the property is not handicap accessible and that there shouldn't be a ramp there. Sidewalk crews told him that they are required to put in ramps per ADA.
