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.
Mr. Turpin called and reported that when the Utilities Dept. installed new line on Rockport Road they dug up entry to his driveway. At that time the driveway had a culvert. When redoing his driveway, no culvert was installed. Water backs up in his driveway now and he has a "muddy mess." He would like a culvert installed since he is afraid his car will be damaged.
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
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.
Mr. Hoover called to complain about the recent construction on Tapp Road. He believes the construction caused his driveway to crack. I referred Mr. Hoover to Risk Management Department.
MS. BRIDGES CALLED TO COMPLAIN THAT WHEN NEW WATER LINE WAS PUT IN TAPP RD. WAS TORN UP AND WAS ONLY PATCHED, NOT REPAVED. SHE CALLED UTILITIES AND WAS INFORMED THAT ROAD WOULD BE REPAVED BY CONTRACTOR IN DECEMBER. ROAD HAS NOT BEEN REPAVED AS OF TODAY.
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?
