A portion of W. Smith Ave needs badly repaired. The road is basically falling apart with a large pothole. My address is 1002 W. Howe St., and the road problem is behind my house which abuts Smith Ave.
Holes in northbound lane need patched
At 2nd and Rogers there is a big pot hole. It is on the north side of the intersection (north of the westbound lane of 2nd) and in line with the east side of the south bound Rogers left turn lane. This is a growing pot hole that looks dangerous when I go by it on my bicycle.
truck missed recyle pick-up
Bicycling on Howe, I was struck by the fact that both storm sewer grates appear to be obstructed by yard waste, which will become an issue when we get our spring rains before the thaw. I suspect that this is not an isolated experience.
The stormwater grates at West Fourth and Fairview literally had small bushes growing in the sediment. I cleaned them again today-but why oh why can't these be part of regular maintenance? When they are blocked, which is most of the time, the water gets 6-8 inches deep at the alley near my house. I brought this to council last year when the city voted to raise fees and was promised by the director (Vic?) that this would be remedied. I have yet to see a clean up schedule or to see a worker ever clean these grates or clean the streets. I'm sick of it. There seems to be no dearth of resources for curbs and flower boxes and traffic restriction work. Why can't the city maintain the streets and storm sewers in a systematic fashion? What is the schedule for cleaning?
The sidewalks on the drive to the Women's Clinic have curbs rather than a curbcut. This means that a person who uses a power wheelchair can't get to the Clinic via her wheelchair.
Curb has disintegrated over the years. As people turn from Jackson st onto Smith Ave they are driving onto my property due to there being a lack of boundary between the road and my back yard. My property is 606 W. Howe Street and the issue is the the backyard where it boarders Smith Ave. My husband and I would really appreciate it if this curb could be rebuilt to prevent further damage. Thank you!
Raised side walk = trip hazard
Broken up sidewalk on 522 W. 4th needs to be repaired or repalced. It's very easy to trip on.
