There are large potholes on the street in front of 3845 E. Tamarron Dr. These were expanded by the recent winter and now represent a potential hazard for USPS trucks and other vehicles.
A large amount of silt has collected in a dip on the north shoulder of the road, whish is currently marked as a bike lane. The pile of silt is so deep it causes traction issues for bikes, and has begun to develop dangerous ruts. I know the new multiuse path will make its way over there sooner or later amd the issue may be fixed at that time, but this silt has been collecting here for many months and has significantly worsened recently to create a real road hazard.
I tried to describe this issue over the phone but the street dept. employee only wanted to blame my driveway for destroying the city street. What?? The problem is the street gutters. When the 800 block of Briarcliff was repaved about 6 years ago, it was ground down and the asphalt was carried into the gutter and made for a smooth transition to the remaining gutter concrete. The 900 block of Briarcliff was not ground down and repaved at that time. We are still waiting for the rest of Briarcliff to be repaved properly. In the 900 block the street's asphalt is approx. 3 inches higher than the concrete gutter so when you include the yard side of the gutter we have one enormous gully. I know of one broken ankle because of this and two weeks ago the Amazon driver twisted his ankle stepping into the gully getting out of his truck. I had asked about putting concrete in the gully in front of my mailbox and was told by street employee NO, that would destroy the street. So what can be done to either pave the gutter in the 900 block like the 800 block or grind down the street pavement in the 900 block so it makes a smooth transition with the gutter. I know what I would do but the city owns the street. We on the 900 block pay the same city tax rate as the 800 block so I think we should have the same street setup. I did ask the street employee to bring out a two wheel drive vehicle and try to drive through the gutter. Not surprised no one showed up. Thanks
Street light out.
Pothole in west lane turning from E 17th on to North Woodlawn
Pot hole
Heading in either direction on N Smith Rd (at the end near E 10th St) the pavement is very rough in the bike lanes, to the point where we often ride our bicycles out in the road, rather than in the bike lane to avoid crashing.
Complex, long-standing problem: water pools and has nowhere to drain to on Woodlawn just north of 12th Street and up against the south side of the RR tracks. This isn't such an issue when the temperature is reasonable, but when it freezes it poses a sliding risk when the train is approaching. Major accident just waiting to happen.
There's a nasty pothole in the center of Moravec Way, just south of the intersection with the BLine Trail. It would be great if it could be filled with gravel or repaired.
Several pot holes (one quite large) on Kinser Pike between the sports entrance drive at North High School and Rosewood Dr. on the West side of Kinser.
