The alley to the west of 1022 and 1024 W 7th is highy degraded and a danger to cars and traffic. It is so uneven that it's a danger to pedestrians as well. I am trying to upload an image here but the site doesn't seem to be accepting it.
While this area is under construction, I wonder if you could fix the drainage on northwest corner of the intersection of 6th and Adams. The storm drain sits slightly above the pavement on one corner. The intersection itself may also be below grade. The intersection collects an inch or two of water when it rains.
Please come and pave our ally! We cannot get in our out of our driveway without hitting the bottom of our cars on the road because of the big holes missing in front of our driveway. A while back some men came and scattered little bits of asphalt along the ally, which did nothing but make the whole ally worse. The entire ally needs repaved dinner than later because the lack of upkeep to the ally is causing damage to our cars. We are documenting all the damage that is being caused to our vehicles because of the negligence of the city to properly maintain the ally and we are also taking note to the fact that the first report we submitted only resulted in the men placing little bits of asphalt around the ally that has made the conditions worse AND the second report we have submitted is still currently open, no response has been submitted to us, and no repairs have been completed. I will continue to report these repairs being needed until the work is finished.
You guys came out and loosely put asphalt in some of the holes in the ally - however- the whole street needs repaved and y'all didn't even fill the whole at the end of my driveway that my partner and I hit every day going in and out of our driveway - shown in this photo that is attached. It knocks our cars everyday going in and out. I will continue to submit a service request for the ally to be repaved and properly fixed and we will continue to document the damage being done to our cars everyday until the ally is repaved and properly fixed.
Hole still not fixed
There is a hole at the end of our gravel driveway that our cars hit everyday going in and out of our driveway. We have opened several cases explaining that the WHOLE ally needs repaved. Twice now y'all have sent out crews to put down pavement in some of the holes. The pavement is loose and keeps breaking apart, causing more damage. Neither time has the crew repaved the ally as they should have and neither time did the crew put pavement in the hole in front of our driveway. Now, y'all are closing the cases I open, stating that crews have already been to my location, however, they haven't fixed anything, but consistently made it worse. We are documenting the damage being done to our cars and everyday I am opening a case here until y'all fix the ally properly by repaving the entire ally. My questions are why aren't you fixing it correctly? Is it because our address is not in a rich neighborhood? Do we not deserve an ally we can drive on without damaging our cars? Please actually fix the issue.
Still a hole there - still damaging our cars
This morning, sanitation services left the contents of the shared recycling bin of the duplex for addresses 718, 720, and 722 W Kirkwood Ave. all over the curb. I understand that my duplex neighbors before have placed items in the recycling bin that are not recyclable, and I try to remove those as I see them, but dumping what is essentially all of the contents on the sidewalk for me to have to pick up is ridiculous. My neighbors are lazy and will not clean it up themselves, so until I return home from work today, all of that recycling is just going to sit and rot on the sidewalk. Also, no notice was left, so even if they were to go out and see what happened, they would have no clue as to why these things weren't collected. I understand the frustration of people putting legit trash in the recycling bin, it frustrates me too, but there's a level of passive aggression here that is quite unwarranted and is instead resulting in littering by your employees and a genuine inconvenience from me that I can't address in a timely manner, since most people getting into their car for their morning commute don't expect to see their recycling bin dumped on the sidewalk, waiting for them.
The recycling fellow looked in my container and evidentally, a single plastic bag was not recylable, so he hung that bag halfway out of the container and did not pick up any of the recycling. I'm sorry I made that mistake, but it would have been small effort to put the bag in the trash container that was right beside it or to leave the plastic and take the recycling. Really poor service.
New renters. They have a huge stack of cardboard outside by recycling containers and overflowing recycling containers that they do not put on the curb on recycling day. Their recycling is blowing all over the neighborhood.
