I am the homeowner at 1020 Greenwood Ave. Our street has been in need of repaving for quite some time now. I'm sure I can speak for all of the property owners, and tax payers, on our short, two-block long dead end street when I say that we would appreciate very much the city's attention to this problem.
Greenwood Ave has being in very bad shape for a long time, we do have several children and elderly people in our street is a matter of fact my father was walking down the street and fail down and hurt his face he is 94 years old, of course we do not let him walk in our street anymore. Could you send someone and check and see if it could be repair? thank you
My alleyway at on Madison Street, between houses 308 and 312 is a total mess. It runs from Madison to Rogers and is in total disrepair-dangerous to cars, bikes, strollers and those on foots. It has holes, crumbling all around the sides and large uneven patching. Please help!
As I rode my bike to work this morning I noted a good sized hole which looked fairly deep right in front of the drain on the northwest corner of Morningside and Park Ridge Road. It looked as if the ground underneath had been washed away .
Has anyone looked lately at the employment section of the website. It seems as if it hasn't been updated in a good while -- there are references to 2010 on firefighters' jobs and to last March on politce jobs.
There is a giant hole in the alley way behind 809 S. Fess around where work was done on a manhole some time ago. The hole has gotten huge and when it rains it fills with water. Many cars use this alley to get to parking behind their houses. When filled with water, the hole can nearly swallow a small car. It continues to get larger as time is passing and is dangerous.
The sidewalks on South High Street are being obstructed by low-hanging tree branches. These branches hang 3-5 feet above the sidewalks and may be hazardous to walkers and runners. They demand constant ducking and dodging, perhaps even into the street in some cases. The leaves conceal hard branches beneath them, and I have seen several walkers and runners hit their heads.
The house at 800 S. Fess Ave. has the most overgrown backyard in the area. 5 foot tall weeds, scrap lumber, stacks of rocks and junk are in this yard, visible from the alley between Henderson and Fess off of First Street.
Alley between Washington and Lincoln off of First Street is totally overgrown, making it almost impossible to go from First to Wylie this way. My 90 year old parents live at First and Washington and we use this alley!
There is a gravel area between 730 Atwater and 725 Hunter where the stones have been displaced causing a large pothole. This has become dangerous for the people living in the surrounding houses because when the hole fills with water and freezes in the winter, it becomes very slippery. Also, small cars bottom out when they hit that pothole, and it can't be avoided. It could use some more gravel brought in as soon as possible.
