There are at least 3 steel culverts that have rusted through creating a sharp object hazard along the south side of E Dodds St along the 300, 400 and 500 block. My concern is there are children that play in this residential area and the rusted crevasses could act as a trap for small limbs of children or pets.  The culverts are corrugated steel and all seem to be suffering from rust fatigue along the top edge. Thank you for the consideration of replacing these culverts.

Thank you Kathleen for updating ticket 175079. This is a follow-up to your update. I do desire to remain anonymous on ureport system. These storm sewers have long been functionally abandoned and really do not act as "ditches" anymore. In fact some of them seem to not have an inlet. It was not so much that that I though they should be "clean out" but more like the sharp metal hazard should be addressed. The exposed tops of at least three culverts have rusted through creating what I consider "sharp rusty hazards". Replacing those culverts (or repairing the rusty sections) is what I was thinking. Or maybe rotating them 180 degrees so the rusty part is down? My concern with the cleanout solution is the neighbors might not like the excavation unless the hazards are removed. I do not think anyone is complaining about the fact the culverts might not be doing much to handle water run off. Again I just walk my dog along Dodds and that is when I spotted the harzards. I do not live at these residences. Thank you again for the consideration.

The low area of this block (1100 South between Washington and Lincoln) is in the old alley and is first flooded by the overflowing ditch along Davis Street and then water continues to flow up from damage pipe clean outs even when water in the ditch has lowered. The water peaked at about 1 foot higher than shown in the attached picture. There is a storm sewer manhole behind this garage, but no inlets are nearby. Is sanitary sewer infiltration to blame for this? Would fixing the clean outs lead to backups inside homes?

There is a street light out on the corner of Grimes and Dunn St. We have had some vandalism to neighborhood cars and several neighbors have expressed concerns that Dunn street is not well lit. We could use additional street lighting and replacement of existing lights that are not working.
