This hole next to the street is about 3’ deep and has been there for at least three months. It needs to be filled
This hole next to the street is about 3’ deep and has been there for at least three months. It needs to be filled
Gigabtye Contracted companies placed these while laying lines but have not returned to address their lack of filling in the side. This one just a great example but many if not all are this bad. Easy to fall into or wreck your bike if you don’t see the ruts on all sides. Especially for those of us who walk/ride at night. Where’s the oversight if any? Please fix these.
The portion of my property with a utilities right of way and that I am maintain is now blocked in a hazardous way. I open my gate as of yesterday May 2, 2024 to a deep 2-3 foot hole that now has 2 large pipes sticking up above ground level constituting a direct hazard to my rightful access. The company (Flagship Underground-phone: 773-964-9045) claims to be laying fiberoptic cable and said they were trying to locate the sewer and gas lines. What can you do to have these pipes moved and/or buried so that they not blocking my gate and presenting a tripping and access hazard? Thank you, Martha Nyikos
Fiber optic installation created some cylindrical holes in the concrete and asphalt about 6" in diameter in various locations. At this intersection, there is one that was apparently refilled with gravel, but another was left open and a stepping hazard. It is on the north part of the intersection, just north of where 11th crosses and closer to the east side of the street than the west. We found a concrete core by the side of the road that likely came out of the hole originally so we placed it back in the hole, but it sunk down a ways because it was unsupported beneath and now it needs to be topped off with gravel or the core should be removed and the entire hole filled with gravel.
Cylindrical hole about 4" radius drilled into street by fiber-optic workers and left unfilled. Dangerous area because there are no sidewalks along at that location, so people are forced to walk on the street. Hole is closest to SW corner of intersection. Ankle-breaker!
Original Case # 187132. Hopefully you can see the photo this time. I talked to someone from the city at the Earth Day event at Switchyard Park, but still haven't heard or seen any changes.
Reported by Joanne Freeman to me. Unfinished AT&T fiber project started last summer has left exposed conduit, foot-deep holes and sand fill in rights of way (meaning grass doesn't grow). She wants City inspectors to contact Michael or Sharon Dalton who are the property managers for the subdivision to get this situation addressed. AT&T has been unresponsive to neighborhood contact. Pegasus contact info is (812) 824-3239 and pegasus.properties.gmail.com. They can provide more detailed information.
There is noisy construction taking place overnight at my apartment. This happened previously as 2nd street was shut down, making an unlivable situation in which construction loudly vibrated the apartment from 7pm-3am every night for a week. My last ureport received a response that this would not continue in the future. Since 2nd street repairs will take more than a year, I sincerely hope this is a fluke. Please do no schedule any more construction overnight. 2nd street by Rogers is a residential area with several houses and apartments. The jackhammers and construction vehicles are extremely loud and disruptive of sleep.
There is a utility project happening in the Spicewood subdivision. The yard repair after digging up holes is not up to standard. Instead of smoothing the yard out, big clumps of dirt are being left with straw thrown in them. Yards need to be left in the same or better condition than they were before the project began. The dirt should be smooth and tamped down, excavator tracks in the yards need to be repaired. Please make sure the remaining properties are repaired up to standard and left in the same or better condition prior to the project.
A worker painted on the road at the intersection. The worker was standing on the double lines. I noticed the worker and signaled that I would be negotiating a left turn onto North Drive headed east. The worker walked in front of my vehicle. The worker was unaware of his surroundings, nor had he seemed concerned about using safety equipment, i.e., cones, caution tape, spotters, or hazard lights. I was not traveling at a high rate of speed. However, this could have been a bad traffic accident. I believe the worker's hearing was obstructed as he wore a sweatshirt with a hard hat atop his head.
