Street & Traffic Signs
1307 E 2nd ST
- Case Date:
- 6/25/2021
The westbound stop sign at the intersection of s. Highland and e. 2nd street is obscured by vegetation, either on the property of 1307 e. 2nd or 527 s. Highland. I am routinely at this intersection and regularly see westbound cars slamming on their breaks, or running the intersection altogether. The plants and trees need to be cleared so the stop sign is visible at a safe distance. This is an accident just waiting to happen.
Drainage or Runoff
526 S Woodlawn AVE
- Case Date:
- 6/25/2021
The storm drains have been very clogged on the 500 block of south Woodlawn well before the cicadas and excessive rainfall. These need to be cleared to prevent cars from hydroplaning in standing water and “sidewalk tsunamis” that hit pedestrians when a car passes. Thank you.
Street Trees
703 S Fess AVE
- Case Date:
- 6/24/2021
One of the Bradford pear trees damaged in the storm has a large branch -- at base probably 8-9" in diameter-- broken off and caught up on other branches about 20' up. I think a good wind will bring it down probably at least partially on the sidewalk. It's the middle of three Bradford pears on the east side of S Fess between 703 and 701. Could be the whole tree needs to be taken down?
Thanks!
Parking on Unimproved Surface
903 E 2nd ST
- Case Date:
- 6/22/2021
The small car on the left of the photo is parking on the grass. It is an ongoing problem for years at this property. Planning has a file. There is supposed to be railroad ties to mark the parking but the tenants and mowers move them. A call has been made to Planning today.

Street & Traffic Signs
1280 E Southdowns DR
- Case Date:
- 6/13/2021
The bike route sign south of the Southdowns intersection on Highland (east side of the road) is totally obscured by vegetation.
Drainage or Runoff
1340 E Sheridan DR
- Case Date:
- 6/11/2021
The stormwater drainage ditch (also known as "Sheridan Creek") near the intersection of Sheridan and Karen continues to erode with chunks of asphalt going into stormwater drains. This was looked at a couple of years ago with a decision of "careful watching." It seems like it is now time to re-pave the culvert or put in a drainage pipe, consistent with what is at both ends of this ditch.
Sewer Problems (Storm Sewers)
704 E 1st ST
- Case Date:
- 6/10/2021
Today and always when there's been heavy rain over the last years, 1st Street floods in our stretch, because there's no drain in the block between Stull and Fess Ave. where we are. At our house, the water hits the curb of the alley in such a way that the entire grass patch and side way is flooded, making it dangerous to walk on the side way. I'm attaching a picture of now, when the rain has already become more steady. I can provide a number of short videos we've taken over the years to document the problem. Please, consider installing a drain or let us know what can be done about this. It is dangerous for us, our toddler son and our visitors. Thank you!
