We received a call from a woman concerned about eroding pavement around a drainage grate. She uses a wheelchair and expressed concerns about the hole being a safety hazard to her and to others. The exact location is the southwest corner of Southdowns Drive and Highland Avenue.
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.
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.
