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
Ms. Costley owns the above rental property. Wants to know if the area between the street and lawn where recent work was done will be seeded and strawed. Utilities says this work was on storm sewers in conjunction with Hillside work.
Citizen is manager of Jiffy Treet. Says sidewalk in front of business is very bad and several older people have almost tripped. Did not realize property owner is responsible....he rents from Claire Young, 812-597-5711. JA told him we'd have Street check it out (Tom Goldman).
When sewer line was being installed, her property line was taken out, ground bulldozed, fence cut/damaged, and dog houses turned over. She wants Crider & Crider to replace fence. She has called C & C, CBU, Engineering, and Risk. SEE JANE FLEIG and/or JENNIFER LLOYD FOR FURTHER DETAILS.
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 construction crew was jackhammering street at 8am at Lincoln & University, a few feet away from her (and other) car. Dust and chunks of asphalt are all over her car. She thinks that no parking signs should have been posted if they were going to work this close to cars. Street Dept. thinks this was an Indiana Gas crew.
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.
8TH & ADAMS STREET REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT: HALL STATES THAT THE SIDEWALK IS SPALDING VERY BADLY. HE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE SOMEONE FROM THE CITY COME AND WALK THE SITE WITH HIM. HALL STATES THAT THIS IS "THE WORST JOB HE HAS EVER SEEN".
