I received a phone call today saying that the potholes I reported last week had been repaired. After inspecting the area at around noon I found this not to be the case. I suspect the person who evaluated the situation was noticing that some alley repair had been completed in the spring/summer at the street entrance however about ten to twenty yards up from the street entrance is where the problem area is. Old pavement has crumbled away and cars are bottoming out. To remind you of the location, this is the first alleyway on the south side of 6th street east of Adams. It is a very high traffic alley way due to the fact that there is off street parking for several apartments on Kirkwood behind my house (1221 W. 6th). If you follow the alley way around to the left (exiting on Pine Street) you will find many more problem spots. I hope these issues can be addressed soon before the really bad weather arrives. Thank you!
The construction at the corner of 11th and Walnut of the new apartment building has left this area of Walnut hazardous and capable in inflicting vehicle damage even when travelling slowing, especially the utility cut across Walnut which has not been filled in to be even with the road surface. This is the same type of problem that existed at 11th and Rogers but is horizontal across the street instead of diagonal across the intersection. The problem at 11th was fixed but this one needs attention ASAP to prevent damage to vehicles and subsequent claims to the city for that damage. There are also breaks and holes and bumps in the pavement at the crest and going down the other side towards 12th street and so on. Thank you for your always prompt and excellent responses to my reports.
Lincoln just north of third
A hole has developed in front of our mailbox and the edge of the street seems to be sinking into the hole.
Fess Ave. between 7th St. and 8th St. is in dire need of repair. There are giant craters, particularly where Fess T's into 7th, and a strip running down the middle of the avenue, where the brick has been destroyed and a rocky/bumpy underlayer is exposed.
There is a city-maintained connecting road between Woodburn Ave and College Ave just to the right of 1020 N Woodburn. This connector is paved by the city and provides access to the Sunflower II Apartments and to the parking areas for 1020 North Woodburn and for the address just south of 1020. The paving of the parking for Sunflower II is the responsiblity of Crown Management and there is a clear line separating their parking lot from the connector street. The potholes I am reporting are on the connector portion only. This connector is 1 block long with intersections at Woodburn and College. The connector at this point just needs a pothole repair especially the eastern 1/2 of the connector.
Just west of 37 on the downhill past Industrial Dr
The map app was off by about a block in every direction, but my actual address is 1124 W. 6th Street and the issue I’m reporting pertains to the alley on the West side of my house. Over the last few months it has turned into a muddy bog in places, and contains 8” ruts making it nearly impossible for anyone without a truck to traverse. My neighbors to the West have been parking on the street for that past couple of months. Both the North and South ends need grating and gravel. I know your department is busy this time of year, but I thought I should go ahead and place a request as the alley is likely to continue to deteriorate. Thanks!
New pothole just opened, approx 12 inches round x 3 inches deep.
