This stormwater conduit that drains the Cascades neighborhood is compromised - tall weeds grow every season in several areas where the cement has crumbled away over the years. I have reported this before and requested a repair, however the response was to patch a few of the larger missing areas with asphalt. This is not a sufficient conduit to manage the volume of stormwater that flows from uphill. Especially since this is a very uneven surface, stormwater is not adequately managed at this point.
My neighbor John East told me that city surveyors were planning a project to renovate this storm drain system that flows from his yard in an open stream - through my yard which was tiled over at some point (I believe the city did this but cannot confirm). This system flows then into Cascades Park. There are a significant number of sunken areas along the path of this conduit in my yard - which has concerned me regarding the integrity of this pathway. I have had MUCH trouble with hydrostatic pressure along my basement foundation, and have not found a cause for this to date. Additionally, when the rain is hard enough, this system will back up into John's yard and the water will breach Skyline Dr. and flood my yard as well. I am looking for information about any plan for a project so that I can respond in time by moving perennials and manage expectations regarding disruption at the house from possible excavation and construction. Thank you. Sara Minard
There are about a dozen potholes on W Gourley Pike between Arlington Road and Monroe Street.
The grassy area in between the sidewalk & street in front of 521 W. Kirkwood has several sinkholes. It is hazardous for people waiting for the bus. Who is responsible for filling these in--the city or the property owner Tom Gallagher? If it's the city, which dept? Don't know of there are pipes under that area.Thanks.
Large pothole at the end of Saratoga Drive as it enters Park Ridge Road.
Group house is leaving a lot of trash in the yard that just goes into the street. Residents are also leaving trash in the yards of neighboring houses
The streets around the Cascades Addition neighborhood (Skyline Dr., Cascades Dr., Clover Terrace, Dogwood Ln.) are starting to crumble in many places. The whole neighborhood really needs repaving.
Consistent broken glass and beer bottles in yard and on side walk. Tenants throw parties each weekend and do not clean up broken glass. - dogs have gotten cuts on their paws from this house
Large pothole in front of house.
