Blocked Street

Case Date:
10/23/2023

I understand that much of the street and yard work done is not by City staff members, but there should be some sort of oversight to ensure resident rights when street/easement/public utility efforts are underway. Our yard at 4021 E. Morningside is routinely deconstructed with no notice given and often damages left behind. Today our driveway was blocked off (still is) by a Green Ram truck with a Vermeer tanker, with a hole dug in the middle of our driveway exit. Our family works and has to enter and exit the drive throughout the day. One of the most important events of the past 7 years is happening tonight that we need to get to. We are making backup plans on an alternative way to go there, but to receive zero communication when we are to have no vehicular use for the day is something that needs to change. If the City has any jurisdiction over the permits given to these companies, they need to start requiring true resident notice and respect for property. Thank you for any help you can provide in future efforts.

Blocked Street

And apparently the workers of 186081 uReport have now blown up a water line in my front yard, as a neighbor sent me a picture of a geyser taller than my house. Great, just great. I'll survey for damages when home, which appear likely, but CBU is on-scene I am told. There needs to be additional accountability for the constant stream of contractors and their subcontractors constantly on property in recent years, with many contractors simply pushing blame that it wasn't "them" but their subs. This same group was using my side yard to store plastic recently, not part of any easement.

18601/18604. Quick follow-up. I appreciate CBU getting things taken care of, and to my knowledge they were not involved in the cause of the initial break. They had to cut out some of my driveway and dig up a bit of yard, but I am trusting they'll get things taken care of and repaired. Staff was courteous in explaining the situation and is still outside hard at work. Hopefully we all get some sleep later tonight.

Blocked Sidewalk

1122 E 1st ST

Case Date:

This racecar track has been left on the sidewalk for several days. Toys at this residence are normally a minor problem, but I had to walk in the road to give room for a dog and its owner to get by.

Potholes, Other Street Repair

Case Date:

Pot hole next to street drain. Report # 185843. Problem because when I pull out into Pete Ellis I have to steer into the oncoming traffic to miss the pot hole. It is on the South West side of the drive/road.

This racecar track is still blocking the sidewalk and the original report--case #186097--hasn't progressed. Can you assign a different person to this case that might address this issue?

Sidewalk Requests

3868 S Mill Stone WAY

Case Date:

The city or a utility installed a new sidewalk. There are multiple pieces of rebar sticking straight up about eight inches on each side. The sidewall is marked with two orange construction cones. I presume the workers will be back at some point, but I don’t know when. Halloween brings a lot of foot traffic in this neighborhood, and I think folks may ignore the cones. It would be greatly appreciated if the rebar could be trimmed or otherwise handled before then. Thank you.

Utilities Construction

Case Date:
10/30/2023

Substantial disregard for property keeps occurring with whoever is laying fiber on E. Morningside. Water main burst at 4021 E. Morningside Drive. CBU dug up my yard to do repair. Please confirm that will be fixed by CBU via spring planting season for grass, etc.? The fiber team, if you can provide me contact information for a complaint if possible, was driving their truck through my yard today again including over areas CBU dug, causing significant depressions. When called out when I went out front a few minutes ago, they asked "What damage?" before I had to point it out and they said they would fix. A truck remains driving back and forth in my front yard at present. I am tempted to call the police. They are beyond any sort of easement, which they are abusing to begin with. This is getting ridiculous.
