Unkept yard
Unkept yard
Easement is completely overgrown with trash accumulating and is partially blocking sidewalk and makes social distancing nearly impossible along this stretch. This is the easement area for 1417 Bradshire and 1423 Bradshire. I believe these are rental properties.
Homeowner does not mow her yard. No mowing is happened thus far this year and last season the yard was only mowed 3-4 times. Overgrowth of trees and brush in side and back yard.
When it rains, the entire ditch from Bainbridge to the Sherwood Oaks Park floods and encroaches on the homes in the area as well as exposing tree roots of trees close to utility poles. Run off from all surrounding streets goes into this ditch that ultimately drains into the creek at SHerwood Oaks Park and contributes to the significant flooding of that playground.
When it rains the back yards from the drainage off of South Bainbridge floods all the way down to the park.
I live at 1202 E. Elliston Drive (green house pictured). Elliston Dr, at the northwest corner of our lot, pools with a large volume of storm water after even a little rainfall, and it does not drain we have to wait for it to evaporate. I know it's probably an undertaking but is there any way the city can fix this? Overall the corner is a high elevation but there's a shallow pool there as you can see, and no storm drain. Could a storm line be ran down to another location so it can drain away and stop causing problems with the curb basically eroding away?
Can't get a photo to upload to uReport. There appears to be a minor water leak coming from under the edge of the asphalt at the corner of Bainbridge and Allendale. Curb has been holding water for a while and there seems to be a small but increasing flow.
Large amounts of broken furniture, trash, baseboards with nails sticking up in the yard. This has been a consistent issue since last summer.
