I work for Jeanne Walters Real Estate and we manage a home at 405 S Jordan. The parking spots are located behind the home, so they use the alley to access these spots. I was at the property earlier today and noticed that the alley has quite a few potholes and is fairly hard to navigate. I was hoping somebody could assess this and see if there's anything that can be done to make this alleyway easier to use. Thank you in advance for your assistance!
There are many potholes in the alleyways that lead to our parking area. Many people use these alleys to get to their houses and the garbage trucks go on them weekly. Many of us have gotten flat tires due to them and the AAA people have said that other people that use these alleyways have called about flat tires from the potholes. There are quite a few potholes. These will become very dangerous during winter seeing that two of them are at the end of the alleyway leading onto Hunter Ave and Atwater Ave. If they could be fixed ASAP that would be great!
This street has dangerous potholes from Eagleson to Highland
Several large potholes in front of TIS
Just north of 926 S. Highland Ave., a 15 ft area of the west side of the street (and storm drain) has crumbled to gravel-size and larger chunks of asphalt. As result of an earlier complaint, a small part was patched with blacktop that has now crumbled. My concern is not the ugly appearance. If we have a 5-10 year rain storm, the runoff down S. Highland easily will clog the storm drain underneath a parking area (owned by the city) in front for my home and likely will flood the first level of my home. I have observed the enormous flow of water in the storm drain during normal heavy rain and am certain an unusual downpour will now cause flooding. Please consider sending a truck to remove the street/storm drain debris.
The alley next to my house needs to be graded (my car scrapes the middle of the alley road). There are two areas that are causing problems for my car. The first is one short stretch right at the entrance to the alley from Highland Ave. You have already done some work here (thank you!), but I still have to drive off to the side so that the bottom of my car doesn’t scrape. You can see that one side of the alley is lower than the other side. The second starts at the alley entrance from Ballantine Road (503 S. Ballantine Rd) and goes about halfway down the alley. In this area, the middle of the alley needs to be scraped down. Thank you.
The green park bench on E. Southdowns just to the west of the intersection with Highland Avenue (near 1212 E. Southdowns Drive, on the north side of the street opposite the houses) has been damaged. The bench is off of its base/legs and just on the ground now. This could use some help to gets its legs back under it so people can take a load off of their legs and rest!
There is a pothole in the alley right behind our parking pad that has been washed out by the rain. It is getting very deep. This will be the third time it had to be fixed. It might work better if it were cemented. 1115 E. 1st St.
From July 18 previous report the rut is now about 15 feet long and very deep. There are three more deep ruts further down the alley. We need the alley paved if possible. 1115 E. 1st St. Three more photos following.
