Drainage or Runoff

Case Date:
8/29/2024

I live at 3230 S Abby Lane. One one side of my house is a water drain from the culdesac. It has had so much sand and debris is no longer drains down the hill as it should. It overflows and washes out my stairs I have to the trail. I have cleaned it numerous times but I get poison ivy and seen several snakes. Neither are my cup of tea. I think it should be dug out better and a solution found for it to flow down the hill and not over my steps. On the other side of my house there are several trees down on the city property. Trees were removed and just pushed over. Due to the fact I am at the bottom of the hill all of the leaves and sticks run down and clog at the bottom. The water backs up and is washing out my yard. I have more and more holes in my yard where it is washing from underneath and there are more logs exposed that much have been buried under my yard that I now have to mow around. The water and mud flow over the trail and it leaves a terrible mess. I go shovel it off and try to keep the trail clean. Several people have asked if I work for the city because I am always down there trying to clean it up. I am getting old and tired. I would love for the city to push all of the mess to another area so the water will actually drain to the drain hole in the field across the trail as it was meant to do. There has to be a better solution. I am upset I would so hard on my house and both sides are getting washed away.

There is significant sediment tracking along N Arlington Rd down to the 17th Street roundabout. It appears it may be coming from the new jobsite, but the roadway is a complete mess. Please let the Planning and Transportation know about the sediment concern and if possible a street sweeper probably needs to get this cleaned up. Thank you!

Sewer Problems (Storm Sewers)

2800 E Buick Cadillac BLVD

Case Date:
8/6/2024

On July 30 I took a video of a Man spraying 2 feet above the creek on college mall road. I called utility that week to make a report and the environmental spill extension a Man I forget his name never returned my call. I find it unacceptable when city employees paid by tax dollars don’t even return phone calls

Blocked Sidewalk

201 S Jefferson ST

Case Date:
10/29/2018

The pedestrian walk between Jefferson and Roosevelt where Fourth St. would be if it continued between these two streets is partially blocked at the Jefferson end by vegetation, including a young redbud tree. I reported this about a month ago, and nothing has been done. Could someone at least please tell me if and when the walk is going to be cleared, and if not, why not? As far as I know, it's a public walkway.

Traffic Suggestions

216 E Burks DR

Case Date:
10/8/2018

The construction on Rhorer and Gordon Pike has pushed a lot of the thru-traffic on the South side to East Burks Dr., resulting in a traffic load that the small, curved road wasn't designed for. More cars are coming through, and not always at a safe speed. This issue is highlighted by the fact that currently, there are no signs prohibiting parking on either side of Burks Dr., so residents park on both sides of the street. This creates a one-lane road that has to accommodate a large traffic load (relative to it's design). Some residents have even taken to parking large tractor/trailer vehicles on the road, which almost completely eliminates visibility of oncoming traffic as you round the bend going from west-to-east. My suggestion is to please restrict parking to the east-to-west side of the street, and post "No Parking" signs on the west-to-east side of the street. This allows for the greatest visibility for both sides of traffic, and also maintains two-way traffic, an important element to South side transportation with alternate routes still under construction.

People daily continue to zip through stop signs going north and south at Smith and Morningside. It is dangerous. PLEASE can the City add flashing lights to the stop signs at least the Smith ones, paint the crosswalks back and/or something to help enforce people properly stopping there . Thank you!!

Line of Sight

2843 N Blue Slopes DR

Case Date:

The trees and brush along the east side of Walnut reduce visibility for drivers turning from Blue Ridge Drive onto Walnut. These were trimmed recently, but have become a problem again after all the rain.

Street Lights

Case Date:

Can we get a flashing red four-way or something at Smith and Morningside? People NEVER stop and it is dangerous for bikers, walkers, and even cars that need to turn. Please enhance safety and enforcement somehow at intersection. Thank you. Repeat problem.
