A few months ago (Beginning of September), I noticed spray paint graffiti on the front of the detached garage belonging to the house that I rent at 702 W. 13th St. My landlord asked that I file a report in addition to one that she filed (I believe for insurance purposes). Since this happened a little while ago, I'm happy to answer any follow up questions needed to file a report.
It is on the side of the house facing the alley near the front.
Second Report: House at 717 North Maple has been long abandoned, windows are broken and anyone could get in; at risk of becoming a drug house. (Address on map is incorrect - I wish there was a way to enter a street address into the map)
Dead crab apple tree on city-owned tree plot (between sidewalk and street). Reported last year but no action was taken. Tree is still dead...
There is a roadway which was a former street going all the way west from College to Madison that runs in front of Crown Management Sunflower II Apts. and is the only way that residents of Sunflower II Apts and a Crown Management rental property at 1020 N Woodburn can get to their parking areas. The city has taken care of the surface of this roadway at least between Woodburn and College for many years. I am reporting today that this roadway needs to be repaved or at least have the uneven surface patched to allow for safe driving on it this coming winter. Crown Management has done their part by resurfacing and resealing their parking lot in front of the apartments just north of this roadway. Please (desperate tone in voice) come and smooth the surface of this very small but fully used roadway. Thank you.
Massive pothole in eastbound lane. Caused damage to my vehicle.
There is a city-maintained connecting road between Woodburn Ave and College Ave just to the right of 1020 N Woodburn. This connector is paved by the city and provides access to the Sunflower II Apartments and to the parking areas for 1020 North Woodburn and for the address just south of 1020. The paving of the parking for Sunflower II is the responsiblity of Crown Management and there is a clear line separating their parking lot from the connector street. The potholes I am reporting are on the connector portion only. This connector is 1 block long with intersections at Woodburn and College. The connector at this point just needs a pothole repair especially the eastern 1/2 of the connector.
A sidewalk was installed this fall. The road meeting the sidewalk was never patched and is in terrible condition all the way down the block, becoming worse with winter weather and parking. I live at 319 w. 15th st.
Lots of potholes that need to be filled on W 15th St between Jackson and Madison
I am submitting this Ureport on behalf of Upland Brewing. Pete Batule of Upland Brewing contacted me on 10-5-18 to say that Upland has been experiencing significant issues with odor coming from the storm drains on the north side of 11th street directly in front of Upland's patio. The odor is having a negative impact on their patio dining customers. Here is background on the issue as provided by Mr. Batule: Upland has had ongoing issues over the last few years with odors near the patio. They installed a piece of equipment above their lift station (the Peacemaker) next to the patio to neutralize the smell coming from the lift station. It wasn’t until the Peacemaker was installed that they suspected most of the odor was coming from the storm drains. Phil Peden has done some investigation on the storm drains. He noted there is an illicit connection tying to the north side of the storm box. Phil doesn't believe it is tied to a toilet because there isn't paper in it, but perhaps is related to byproduct or a wash drain/sink coming from elsewhere. Upland has dye tested their facility and found no evidence that the connection on the north side of the storm box is connected to their facilities. The odor comes on very strong at times to the point where they have to relocate customers. They notice an increase in odor around times when it rains and storm drain activity increases. James Hall and I discussed this issue on 10/8/18 and James has started to follow up internally at CBU on next steps. Kelly
