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.
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!
Alley full of large potholes that need asphalt patch. THANKS!
(Not really "street repair" but I couldn't find the right category): The eastbound Stop sign on Maxwell @ Highland, in Elm Heights, is OFTEN ignored. I have seen cars race right through it without even the pretense of slowing down. On foot, I have jumped out behind the car as it sped on, waving my hands and shouting "STOP SIGN!!", and once a driver waved an acknowledgment. Another time, driving north on Highland, I turned and followed the offender, honking and blinking my lights hoping s/he would notice that someone had noticed and be alert next time. The Stop sign is quite visible, not obscured by overhanging trees, so I am stumped. But I wonder if it could be moved closer to the road, enlarged, painted (the post too) a more neon/catchy red, and/or moved to the CENTER of the intersection (tricky for the snowplows, I know), and/or a "Stop-sign alert" sign added well before, or maybe it could be removed altogether with appropriate alerts posted for the north/south drivers, which might be safer than assuming people will stop. This is a potentially lethal situation for drivers, bikers, and walkers in a very pedestrian-heavy neighborhood. Thanks.
A very large pothole, probably at least 14 inches across and maybe almost a foot deep. Difficult to avoid due to congestion in that area. On east side of the road.
The road that leads to the Jordan parking garage (University Road?)has a large "pothole" that resulted in a blown tire. I would think this is a university maintained road since it is not on Jordan, but rather the side road that leads to the parking garage, but IU claims it is the city's responsibility. I have attached pictures. It appears this is from construction and/or utility work rather than natural erosion, and there is a sharp and steep edge/drop-off. I did not have a ruler with me, but used a standard size sharpie to show the depth. Using a ruler afterwards, the hard edge/cliff is approximately 5 inches. In the dark at night there is no lighting, and when making a left onto that road there is no way to see it with your headlights. In addition to requesting that the hole be repaired, I would like to receive reimbursement for the damaged (flat, non repairable)tire. Thank you for your time.
in the right lane, where Henderson turns into Indiana and into a one way street, traveling north, there is a huge pothole.
Metal sheets covering holes from gas line work have been moved exposing holes in the road. Hazardous!
