curb breaking apart
curb breaking apart
On the west end of the new construction on the NW corner of 17th&dunn, there is a gap. At the start of the construction they demolished more sidewalk than they built at the end of it.
The sidewalks on the west side of rogers just south of Bloomington Iron & Metal (about 9th street) flood when it rains. A stream flows out of BIM at the south side of their driveway, across the driveway cut for the gym, and then across both driveway cuts for the big one world parking lot. When it is raining hard, there is no way to traverse the gym driveway without standing in 3+ inches of water. Did you know BIM is a superfund site?
Sorry if this is a repeat, I'm having a devil of a time with the website. This is a follow up to ticket #166390, in which Phil Peden indicated he wanted to see it when it rains. This is a view to the west from the sidewalk on the west side of Rogers St at about 9th street, between Bloomington Iron Metal (right of photo) and 501 N Rogers. The two problematic tributaries are labelled in the photo. They meet just to the left of the photo, which is exactly where the sidewalk crosses the 501 N Rogers driveway, and they flow south from there. Tributary A runs eastward along the north side of the pavement there, and then fans out where the pavement seam starts, and poses the larger problem because it is too wide to step over. Tributary B handles a large volume of water, but in light rain you can hop over it onto a manhole cover (marked "communications") that is just to the right of the photo. If a trench was dug in the dirt along the north side of the asphalt, extending all the way from the fence to the sidewalk, then A and B could probably be forced to join directly at the photographer's feet. Then it is just a matter of digging a trench under the sidewalk to the existing (and dry) rain gutter just behind the photographer. Thank you!!!!
I sent this problem in last week. The resolution was they've been clearing the storm drains but they were not going to pick up the debris and tell leaf pickup. This is going to cause the grass today as it does every fall. In Park Ridge as last year we put our leaves at eight weeks we waited for the leaves to be picked up. If these storm drains are going to have piles of leaves next to them for the next 8 weeks then this intersection is going to flood every single time we have rain. This is at the bottom of Three Hills. And the pile is going to get so large like it did last year 4 by 4 by 3 feet high. That the grass is going to die again. It seems reasonable to have the storm sewers cleared and the debris carried away every time we have a flooding event. If this is not resolved differently I will be contacting the mayor. Thank you very much.
Debris has clogged the storm sewer drain grate preventing adequate drainage
The gentleman second from the right put his cigarette butt down the storm sewer. I don't mind him smoking, but putting that kind of carcinogen down the storm sewer is ecologically dangerous. please let him know this is unacceptable. thank you
519 s. fess Veoride scooter parked in middle on sidewalk
316 e 12th St. Three Bird scooter across the sidewalk. 4:30 pm, Nov 20, 2018
Just south of 11th, on the west side of rogers, 4 lime scooters parked on the sidewalk. This is a 4ft path I walk twice a day with my kids (3 abreast), going to fairview. This is a nuissance to us. remove them by 3:30pm or I will.
