The north side of 13th Street between Indiana and Fess has an old limestone masonry sidewalk, maybe from the 1950s (?) It is interesting for historic reasons - it looks like it matches the sidewalks that flank Lincoln between 10th and Cottage Grove - but parts of it have degraded to a point that it is now a bit awkward to walk on it, especially at night. (It is definitely not ADA-complaint.) Is there an office in town dedicated to historic preservation that could commission a team of masons to redo this sidewalk? There is a concrete sidewalk just east of this block that appears to match the pattern, but it is poured concrete with pattern-pressed and actually looks a little comical, as if it is trying to be something that it is not. Also, a side note: there is no sidewalk on the south side of 13th Street in this block. If there were one there (especially ADA-compliant), people could more safely walk from campus to "The Standard" along that street.
Complain is on Raubs Ln. Field standing 1/2 full of water mosquitroes awful, wants to talk to you.
See attached copy of e-mail. Since the completion of the south end of Clarizz Blvd., at the entrance to University Commons, the surface drainage onto the north side of Moores Pike has steadily increased.
While conducting and rental inspection is was pointed out to me that a section of pipe has been washed down the culvert and the affected area is washing out right next to Dunn St.
AT THE CORNER OF S. MADISON AND W. HILLSIDE DR. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH PONDING AFTER IT RAINS. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO HAVE GOTTEN WORSE SINCE THE NEW SIDEWALK WAS PUT IN AT THAT INTERSECTION. IS ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT THE PARKING AT THAT INTERSECTION ON MADISON. BEFORE CONSTRUCTION OF THE SIDEWALK, MADISON WAS NO PARKING IN FRONT OF 1425 MADISON, NOW SOME PARKING IS ALLOWED. ALSO WOULD LIKE STOP SIGNS WHERE HILLSIDE INTERSECTS MADISON.
The drainage pipe that goes under Monon Dr. at W. Hillside is almost completely stopped up with sand. Also the open drainage ditch which would carry storm water back to Clear Creek is over grown and also filled in with sand. See attached map.
Comments come from citizen's leaf collection survey response. Storm drains at Ramble Rd W and Rusgan are "a real problem". They are always clogging up and don't work as they should. Need more regular maintenance, one is completely buried. Wants to talk to someone about this and point out the problems.
