Ground washed away from under the street - hole extends about a foot.
I know Lindbergh (between 15th and 17th) is on the list to be paved, but while I don't know when that will happen, I know it can use some attention now as it is pretty rough as the areas where the underground work was done, there are deep cutouts that need to be filled with more gravel as any gravel that had been placed in them originally, is now depleted and I am worried for cars and their tires (including mine), and that this road could cause some issues until it is fixed, even temporarily fixed until the paving can happen.
The drains along the road here are so rough and sunken in that people drive up the middle of the road to avoid them
the street storm drain behind the Von Lee building was clogged on Friday night and Saturday morning 6-18 to 6-19-21. This caused water to not flow into the drain and considerable damage to cars and property in the surrounding area. On Saturday morning at around 7:30am I was able to unclog the drain. At the time water was up to just below my knee which is about 20 inches. A car was abandon by the drain and later towed by a local towing company. My property which is 507 east Kirkwood Ave. sustained damage as well as the IU business lobby just east of the drain in the von lee building. This drain should be change to a more clog proof type. This has happened in the past and will in the future
drain cover sunk too deep below asphalt
Street drain plugged since last summer grass had started to grown in it
Large hole in street that takes up most of the westbound lane ever since water main repair on March 23. It was filled with rock but is getting worse each day.
There are wide pothole on northbound Rogers St between 1st and 2nd St.
Right in the middle of the intersection of 7th/Grant is a metal plate that is damaged and dangerous. It is not as big as a sewer manhole or even a water-meter cover. It is about 7" in diameter and appears to have been painted bright blue, but the entire center of the plate is missing, leaving a hole that one could step into and twist an ankle or a small animal could fall in there and not be able to escape. We called the City Streets department about this awhile back and made a verbal report, but nothing has been done about this. That was probably a month ago.
