There is a perfectly round hole in the middle of the alley right where it joins Walnut. Looks like something that the fiber-optic people made. It is dangerous. People walk over this all the time. It should be filled in with at least some gravel. Someone could twist an ankle.
See case #204982. Response was dismissive. "..will be compliant when paving is completed..". *When* will that happen? This year? The areas surrounding the ramps are DANGEROUS, especially at Grant/Cottage Grove. Why start a project if it cannot be completed at the time?
The east/west alley to the south of the building is overgrown and we can not access our garage enterance.
While you are following up on case #205167, please also follow up on case #201463. The earlier uReport case requesting attention to the N/S alley stretching from 11th to 12th and flanked by 415 E. 11th and 800 N. Grant was marked "resolved", but nothing ever happened and now it is in even worse shape.
We are writing to report the poor condition of the gravel street in front of our property. On our very first day of moving in, one of our vehicles got a flat tire from the state of the roadway. We are requesting that the city repair the gravel street as soon as possible to prevent further damage and to ensure safe access for residents and visitors. Thank you so much.
The east alley running beside 417 East Cottage Grove Avenue (between 417 and 421 East Cottage Grove Avenue) is in need of repair. Asphalt is a preferred method of this repair (asphalt alley entirely from Cottage Grove Avenue to 11th Street). The gravel washes out on this alley due to its grade. This message is coming from the owner of the two properties 417 and 421, Stasny & Horn, IGP. Thank you for your time and assistance with this matter.
Recently, the City has redone the intersections along East Cottage Grove to make the corners ADA-compliant. Unfortunately, the jobs were not completed. The installations of the warning plates are fine, but the street surfaces flanking them are not. The streets are all eaten up with deep, sharp gullies on each side of every installation at each corner of all four streets involved (Washington, Lincoln, Grant, and Dunn) where they cut through the concrete to prepare for the work. Also, the bit of asphalt applied to the corners afterwards was just mounded up and left bumpy and difficult for chairs (and walkers!) to navigate. Right now, all intersections are far more dangerous than they were before the project started, and if left in this condition will only get worse when debris, leaves, snow and ice begin to accumulate, and the rate of street degradation will intensify.
A new resident moved into the neighborhood recently who is in a wheelchair (permanently). He appreciates the ADA-compliant corners at the intersections, but he has difficulty navigating some of the sidewalks where they cross alleys. This particular location is *notoriously* degraded and should be the first alley-repair done next time the City is thinking about ADA issues. Specifically, it is midway between Lincoln and Grant on the south side of 10th. Thank you.
