Potholes, Other Street Repair
1028 W Kirkwood AVE
- Case Date:
- 8/9/2021
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.

My neighborhood (Near West Side) has been experiencing a very intense burning trash smell most nights for the past two months. This has been an ongoing issue for the past two years that I’ve lived here, but it has intensified. It causes me headaches and forces me to keep my windows closed and waste energy running my air conditioning. It’s not possible to walk around outside; this only happens at night. There are no neighbors or homeless people burning trash (I have walked around and looked, including on nearby train tracks). I have smelled this same smell coming from JB Salvage. Please help us! This is definitely causing long term health effects for this whole neighborhood.
