The rail trail parking lot on Winslow would really benefit from having lines painted for spots. The only one currently marked is an accessible spot. Because there are no standard lines, people park wherever they feel like as they come and we end up having room for far less cars because there’s no consistency between the cars.
The east/west alley to the south of the building is overgrown and we can not access our garage enterance.
giant pot hole in 4th and Washington surface parking lot,in Northwest corner, north of dumpsters
The east alley running beside 417 East Cottage Grove Avenue (between 417 and 421 East Cottage Grove Avenue) is in need of repair. Asphalt is a preferred method of this repair (asphalt alley entirely from Cottage Grove Avenue to 11th Street). The gravel washes out on this alley due to its grade. This message is coming from the owner of the two properties 417 and 421, Stasny & Horn, IGP. Thank you for your time and assistance with this matter.
A new resident moved into the neighborhood recently who is in a wheelchair (permanently). He appreciates the ADA-compliant corners at the intersections, but he has difficulty navigating some of the sidewalks where they cross alleys. This particular location is *notoriously* degraded and should be the first alley-repair done next time the City is thinking about ADA issues. Specifically, it is midway between Lincoln and Grant on the south side of 10th. Thank you.
The city alley along the north side of our home on 1006 South Grant Street, has a few large, deep potholes. They need to be filled in, new gravel to level with rest of alley. These potholes were created by utility trucks when each did some work in the spring. These heavy trucks (city tree trim, utility repair, cable repair, etc.) park to repair at the poles and their continued heavy weight created deep holes. Driving down the alley (which daily serves 5-6 drivers in three adjacent homes) has become very challenging. One can't veer easily to the side due to alley being narrow - and no one wants damage to our cars from suddenly hitting potholes! This gets exacerbated in rainy, muddy weather when you can't easily see potholes. Thank you for your attention.
I had sent in a request on 5/19/25 Case #202787 reporting that Olive Street needs a concrete curb installed. Due to the excessive rainfall this has caused flooding issues for 1502 S. Olive and the house on the corner of Hillside and Olive (1144 E. Hillside Dr.). I was informed that this was on the paving list and there was plans for an asphalt curb. I called on 6/9/25 and spoke to the Engineering dept. (Iris) about installing a concrete curb instead of asphalt. There is already a partial concrete curb that runs past 1502. It needs to have a concrete curb all the way up the hill so that rain will not flood into the driveway and along the house of 1502, plus it runs past the curb into the yard of 1144 E. Hillside causing flooding in the basement. They have a sump pump now, but it's old and could quit at any time. It's already August and there hasn't been any kind of activity on this street. Do you have an estimated date as to when the street will be paved and the curb installed? Also, there is a construction sign in the yard of 1144 E. Hillside that has been there all summer and would like it to be moved. Thank you for any information you can provide!
There is a pothole on west bound 2nd St between Walker and Patterson.
There is a huge chunk of concrete coming out of manhole cover right in front of 901 N Maple St.
Heading north from the intersection of 6th and Madison, the first turn in on the right where the asphalt meets the concrete is pitted and uneven. The issue was remedied previously and it was greatly appreciated. However, it has worn down over time again and is causing issues as we need a smooth surface to roll over. Any help filling this in and making the asphalt level with the concrete would be greatly appreciated. Please see my contact info for more details if the picture and description are insufficient. Thanks.
