Roger Heimer called about pavement sunken at Rusgan & Ramble, Kevin checked this out and determined it is a natural crown in the road.
He reported this as a storm sewer issue at first and Tony E. told him all we could do is build up the berm to help keep the water from running into his garage. Mr Mcconnaughy called me and said that's not what he wants. He says the street dept. keeps patching the asphalt in the alley and now it is too high and that causes the water to drain into his garage. He wants the asphalt lowered from University St to his garage (he said about 20') so the existing rock berm he already has will keep the water out of his garage. I told him I would refer this to Street Dept.
Customer has a drainage problem Rain water running down the alley and going under his garage door.
I had a voice mail stating that the caller was apparently transferred to the wrong department but perhaps I could send information to appropriate department. The caller stated that they were calling regarding the street cut on College just south of 10th Street. Caller advised the "road cut was absolutely ridiculous" and "needs to be fixed". There was no name/number left on voice mail.
On Fairwiew Street, between West Dodds and Dixie, asphalt is falling apart and needs to be patched again.
John Adams (812.325.0499) called to ask to speak with the mayor directly regarding his frustration with mud all over the road at 11th and Walnut.
Outside her complex, on the western side of the building, the parking area has potholes, so they flood after it rains. She suggested the area be trenched and a drain installed so the water does no continue to pool. Whatever the solution, she would be appreciative if it could be fixed!
Complaint of a hole approximately 20 inches in diameter and 2-2 1/2 feet deep in the grassy area between the road and the sidewalk. She can see a pipe at the bottom of the hole. She said there used to be a cone on the hole but now it is just open.Located on the south side of the street in front of the IU Classroom building. Worried about small dog or child falling in the whole.
Caller identified a large pothole near the manhole on Jackson Street, between 17th Street and the 1st alley on the west. Chandler Automotive says the asphalt in the alley is City property and there are potholes there as well. Apologies for the inexact location. Thanks for your help.
