The cover of one of the new boxes in the ground for the fiber optic cable is off. This makes a deep hole about 1.5 x 3 feet that a small child or dog could step into.
There are a lot of rocks on the edges of the road on both sides in this block. Looks like they are from a recent construction project that was not cleaned up afterwards, and they look like they are too big for the street-cleaning machines to pick up.
Fire hydrant was recently replaced in front yard. Big hole was dug as part of the work. Was filled in (Friday?). Ground where dug now is several inches obviously below rest of ground level. Assuming settled with aid of rain. Needs leveled.
Power or communication cables are tied down to a seemingly dead tree on the back of my property. Also large growth on neighboring pole in my front/side yard.
Area near the hydrant replacement remains significantly depressed. Is a trip/fall hazard. I was waiting to see if grass would sprout and what that effect would be, but exceptionally minimal grass has grown despite significant moisture and coverage. 4021 E. Morningside Drive
Bamboo overgrowth 1115 W 6th Street's SouthEast corner fence line is spilling over to easements of the three adjacent neighbors yards and easements. In addition to the rampant spread of this address's bamboo cluster, there is very serious concern that the utility pipes, water and gas lines, that run along the easements will be damaged or impinged upon. There is a city policy that overgrowth in yard cannot exceed a height of 8". Some of this bamboo overgrowth is over 15 feet! I love plants and I don't want to have bad relations with my neighbors, but bamboo is a terrifyingly overly successful plant species that belongs in a container. After hearing a story about bamboo on WFIU, I was heartened to learn that there might be some support from the city to help with this very insistent bamboo problem.
The water department dug this hole in my yard along with another huge hole earlier this summer. The other was filled and reseeded but this never was.
I would like to know who installed this on my property. It’s leaking e. coli and that needs to be fixed.
There is water coming up from the street here. It's actually been happening for months. Looks like either some sort of water main break.
