This morning around 7:00 -7:30 while on my morning walk I had two mishaps with regard to the construction work around or near the 4th st. fire station. First, crossing Kirkwood st. A dump truck (Young construction) decided to cut me off at the pedestrian crossing at Kirkwood and Dunn st. Next, a large loader (Milestone Construction) decided to back up without looking. I was on the sidewalk all the time and was within inches of getting KIlled. I yelled very loud and the operator heard over the machine and stopped.
I do not believe I should have such experiences with just a simple walk.
I have noticed over many weeks that this project is a slip-shod operation with a lack of management. Perhaps IOSHA needs to be alerted.

There are low areas from the pavement that are ackward and present safety concerns for walkers and joggers facing traffic while heading S on this narrow road way so, clean fill dirt is being requested that can more closely match the height of the roadway and make it safer to step aside when necessary without a significant danger of loosing ones balance.or causing an accident by an abnormal roadway height difference as the roadway shoulder more closely needs to matched to the asphalt height.

It looks like the photo I'm trying to send may not be working.. but anyway.. In front of 1309 South Lincoln is a gutter that is NOT accepting water..the issue is NOT a plugged gutter at the street level because I have cleaned it out myself.. THis has been going on for YEARS and I've reported it twice..The city looked into it and said that there is no blockage,, but since the water backs up at Every rain, the something is obviously wrong..If you can't get a full street view from the photo I've sent with this message let me know where I can send an email with a photo attachment..Thanks.. Lee (I live at 1314 South Lincoln..)

Whoever put up the road closure signs on W Gourley Pike has made it difficult to access the road for the people that live on the section they have “shutdown”. I can barely fit my sedan sized car between the closure barriers to get to my home.

You did a great job fixing the crosswalks; thank you! We use those sidewalks frequently. However, pedestrians wishing to use the crosswalk to traverse Henderson on the south side of Winslow now face road flooding for hours/days after significant rain. The east side of the crosswalk and northbound road flood. Not only is this a problem for pedestrians, but it may present an ice hazard for vehicles in the winter months after a thaw-freeze. The crosswalk project plans available for viewing online do not seem to show a drain to collect and remove rainwater. Thank you for helping us all by addressing this!

The retaining drainage Channel wall below the driveway is falling apart. This is a serious safety hazard. Additionally, tons of weeds are growing inside the channel that need removal and cleanup. This over growth is another reason why the cracks are appearing and the channel walls are falling apart. Please take action promptly. Thanks.

I am having an issue with my front ditch flooding every time it rains. This picture was taken today (June 2nd, 2021) during the light rain we experienced throughout the day.
When we receive heavy down pours or rain for multiple days the runoff storm water puts my mailbox post underwater. Which, over time, rots the post (I have recently had it replaced).
When the front yard does flood the water travels across the road in a 30-40 foot wide swath, several inches deep.
When dry, the culverts (under my driveway and the one going under the road) can be observed as 95-100% silted in and obstructed.
I have noticed over the past couple of years where the city has had the utilities marked and the culvert marked going under the road. Other culverts in the Park RIdge neighborhood have been replaced or repaired except for the one in front of my residence.
I would appreciate an update on when this issue will be addressed.

The stormwater drainage ditch (also known as "Sheridan Creek") near the intersection of Sheridan and Karen continues to erode with chunks of asphalt going into stormwater drains. This was looked at a couple of years ago with a decision of "careful watching." It seems like it is now time to re-pave the culvert or put in a drainage pipe, consistent with what is at both ends of this ditch.

We have had a drainage issue here for 20 years and I have asked for help many times and no one will do anything to help us. Our grate is a poor design and gets clogged by yard debris from areas of the neighborhood and caused our area to flood. Tonight we were home to pull the grate to allow for water to recede and not go further into our garage to our house. Would someone please listen to us. We have reported this several times and also in person. We are afraid to be away from our home if there is a serious storm in the area.
