The sidewalk widening project along S. Henderson St. is extremely dangerous for pedestrians and a hazard for vehicles pulling in and out of Winslow Plaza as well. The contractor dug 2' deep x 2' footings for new curbs at the sidewalks crossing the entrances to Winslow Plaza and put up now warning signs, barricades, cones, or caution tape. No sidewalk closed signs have been put up. Who is supervising this project?
Was pulling to side of road to park I hit this drain. It broke the right leaf spring on my cargo trailer.
The sewer in the alley behind 304 N. Bryan St. was dug up by private contractor. After the work was completed, the hole was improperly filled in, which has caused a sink hole.
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
East-West alley between Girls and Boys Club and the building to the north needs repaved. It is in really bad shape and dangerous.It was never repaired after work was done in it. Thank you.
Road striping/painting contractor created a major hazard and delay yesterday at E. Moores Pike/College Mall Rd/S Sare Rd.
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)
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.
An old house was demolished on Friday 7 Nov. It had been clad in cement tiles, likely asbestos-containing transite. It appears that there was no attempt to isolate the hazardous waste from the bulk, so is it now all classified as hazardous? If so, is the contractor required by the State to dispose of the mass of waste resulting from the demolition in a special way, or perhaps into a designated landfill that accepts such waste? Attached is a picture of tiles that were left strewn about on the alley (a public thoroughfare) after the demolishers drove away. In the days since, people and/or animals have been stepping on the tiles and crushing them, possibly releasing friable asbestos fibers. There is a dog living immediately across the alley from this now toxic site. Is it unsafe for the dog to walk on the ground in this area? Or does the City even care about such things? Maybe it would it be better to just look the other way and let the people with money do whatever they please (?)
