Snow removal at entrance off of walnut and the 45/46 entrance we were told was maintained by city, no one came Friday and both entrances are hard to access without 4 wheel drive.
There are a bunch of potholes in this area. Greenbriar Lane has a small grassy median between High Street and Locust. At the west end of this median on the north side of Greenbriar where it meets Locust there is rough pavement and a pothole. Continuing northwest there is a small traffic island between Locust and Wilton with potholes around it and a bunch of gravel on the sidewalk. The potholes need to be filled and the gravel cleaned up.
For the last couple of weeks there has been an orange traffic barrel with a "Sidewalk Closed" sign on it sitting in the back yard of a student rental house next to our office. I assume it is a city barrel. Our office is at 914 E. Atwater, the first building east of the Subway. The house the barrel is behind is the next house east of us (blue siding, white trim). The easiest way to get to it is through the alley: go up Atwater past the Subway and turn right into the alley just past the grass lot. Turn left into the alley that runs parallel with Atwater. The barrel is in the grass between the parking lot behind our building and the parking area behind the rental house.
There is a very large pothole in the alley that connects 2nd Street with Hunter. It is next to the sidewalk that runs parallel with and next 2nd st.
at 933 S. Fenbrook Court, a section of sidewalk has dropped 2 3/4 inches - another place has dropped 3/4 inches
Could the alley/connector at North Orris Drive, between 11th and Cottage Grove be ploughed? It always has been in the past, but wasn't after this last snow. Thank you!
There is a parking space on Cardinal Ct next to #921 that I use when I can't get in our driveway (I have a disability), but the snow plows have been piling the snow there. It also creates an obstacle for the mailman. Another place the snow got piled in the last storm was in front of our and our other neighbor's mailboxes, so that our mailman had to get out and climb over the mound of snow to deliver our mail, for a week or two after the last snow storm. I hate to complain, especially when there's a storm and a lot of extra work to do, but this seems dangerous for him. We live on a culdesac so there are other places the snow could be piled instead of these two spots, which would help us and our mailman greatly. Thank you for all you do!
The sidewalk along the west side of Walnut street between the train tracks and the CVS is in bad shape. There are some large pieces of concrete that have come loose and have created several large tripping hazards.
The sidewalk in front of our house has many cracks. Some of the places it is cracked are raised up a few inches which can cause tripping. In addition, we have pipes that run under our sidewalk and out to the street to connect to the main sewer. The clay pipe that runs under the sidewalk has roots growing into it. In order to replace the pipe we need to take out the sidewalk. We are hoping that since the sidewalk needs replacing anyway, the city could let us know when the sidewalk will be torn up and replaced so we can have our plumber ready to replace the pipe while the sidewalk is up. Thank you for staying in communication with us about when the sidewalk will be replaced with a safer one.
Please fix the cracking and loose sidewalk. The residents have started pouring their own mortar since it's dangerous.
