Improper construction stormwater management practices
Improper construction stormwater management practices
Drainage pipe under 17th St overpass on 46 eastbound has burst and leaking badly. Just east of 37.
When it rains the storm drain under Arlington leaks. it pours out right over the exit from 37.
the rain grate has come to be a good 5-7 inches beneath the surface of the street, probably from the road being reopened several times. the grate is on the north side of the street, east of 4th. cars swerve to avoid it.
there is a manhole cover just north of 14th on college that has below the surface of the street. it's pretty dangerous for people on motorcycles and mopeds. there is another sunken manhole cover just south of 14th on college as well
another rain grate that had sunken deep to create a big pothole. the rest on the street around it were fine, but one is quite bad and we had to serve around it. on north side of street.
manhole cover missing at henderson and university.
overgrown brush scratching vehicles
exremely damgerous hole openning in asphalt. appears to be due to erosion from drainage system under this location. needs quick attention and solid long-term solution.
three years ago when we had a water main break they tore up this section of my yard and it was under the street. It has never grown grass. Twice I have them come back and put more seed on it asked for soil (which never happened) only sees and straw. This spring I put on 10 bags of garden soil and grass seed. And it had just started to grow. When this rain came and washed it all away. I would like the city to put sod in. after 3 years and 2 to 3 inches of soil and sod still missing it seems to be the only solution!
