Sidewalk & Curb Complaints

Case Date:
4/24/2018

Hey, all. I'm at 4021 E. Morningside Drive. Unfortunately I've been experiencing some drainage issues at my corner since the installation of a wheelchair ramp for the sidewalk. There was no issue prior. Terrific having the ramp for folks, plus the earlier sidewalk, but unfortunately it has no lip on it at all. As you can see in the photo, the street is essentially level with part of my yard now, allowing even the smallest rain to flood the corner. I'd love to grow grass but am having difficulties because of the situation. There was grass prior, but someone crashed into the streetlamp, and when it was replaced, the ground got torn up a bit. Beyond my yard, a small pool exists along the corner until it dries out as well, as it is unable to pass on through. Also sediment as you can see in the photo (taken tonight a few hours after the end of today's misting) is washed into the street with each rain. Please see if there can be just the smallest bit of lip and/or incline added with the ramp/sidewalk to keep the water moving instead of creating a muddy corner. Thank you for any help! (Or ideas!) Any chance you all might have a square foot of sod that is fairly water tolerant that can just be placed down there? Might solve my issue without any need for changing anything with the concrete assuming it takes root. I appreciate the consideration and help. There is also a bus stop right at the corner, so more than just helping me, it keeps the bus waiters from standing in the mud.

The intersection between Woodbine and Woodscrest has become dangerous. When we turn from Woodscrest onto Woodbine, we are unable to see incoming traffic from the right due to the residents' having planted a large shrub that blocks the view. In addition, before we get to that intersection, we no longer can see the stop sign, as it is hidden by another tree that they planted. Is there anything that could be done about this to clear the intersection? I am attaching two pictures (well, I am attempting to, as I do not know if they will send). With best wishes and thanks for your time.

fiber optic crews have broken out two large chunks of the new curbs installed a few years back to control water run off. I am concerned that these unseated and cracked curbs will cause further water damage that you just fixed. south of 426 e blue ridge dr. is the location and my address. I think the fiber optic people should be fixing this and not the city needing to come back to fix it again. thanks

The property owner just south of me added a driveway ramp in September 2013 that completely prevents water runoff on the east side of N. Park Ridge Rd. (My property is #300). Water stands for weeks without draining. It is a traffic hazard - especially now when it completely freezes over. (I spoke with members of the street dept. who were out trying to clear the area during the last storm on Jan. 5/6. They told me they would report it to the dept.). It will be an even more severe health hazard in the spring/summer during mosquito breeding season. I understand the need for the ramp. However, could you persuade this resident to at least partially remove some of the ramp to allow water to effectively drain once again - please? I made a report on this issue in September 2013. According to this program the case was/is closed. However no action was taken and the situation persists.

A citizen called to report a concern and wishes to remain anonymous. According to the caller, for two months there has been no construction on the bike path off of Sare Road. There are still signs saying 'sidewalk closed' as well as 'construction ahead' but it appears that the construction has stopped. Lastly, the Spicewood II sign had been taken down and since put back up but the citizen is disappointed there has been no landscaping done and the limestone around the sign was broken.

High street sidewalk project looks like absolute horseshit. Kids walk through a half complete construction zone everyday with trash, busted up concrete and rusty rebar laying everywhere. This is completely unacceptable. Finish the project!
