I had sent in a request on 5/19/25 Case #202787 reporting that Olive Street needs a concrete curb installed. Due to the excessive rainfall this has caused flooding issues for 1502 S. Olive and the house on the corner of Hillside and Olive (1144 E. Hillside Dr.). I was informed that this was on the paving list and there was plans for an asphalt curb. I called on 6/9/25 and spoke to the Engineering dept. (Iris) about installing a concrete curb instead of asphalt. There is already a partial concrete curb that runs past 1502. It needs to have a concrete curb all the way up the hill so that rain will not flood into the driveway and along the house of 1502, plus it runs past the curb into the yard of 1144 E. Hillside causing flooding in the basement. They have a sump pump now, but it's old and could quit at any time. It's already August and there hasn't been any kind of activity on this street. Do you have an estimated date as to when the street will be paved and the curb installed? Also, there is a construction sign in the yard of 1144 E. Hillside that has been there all summer and would like it to be moved. Thank you for any information you can provide!
Side yard and backyard are full of junk, some not visible because of extremely overgrown grass
The city alley along the north side of our home on 1006 South Grant Street, has a few large, deep potholes. They need to be filled in, new gravel to level with rest of alley. These potholes were created by utility trucks when each did some work in the spring. These heavy trucks (city tree trim, utility repair, cable repair, etc.) park to repair at the poles and their continued heavy weight created deep holes. Driving down the alley (which daily serves 5-6 drivers in three adjacent homes) has become very challenging. One can't veer easily to the side due to alley being narrow - and no one wants damage to our cars from suddenly hitting potholes! This gets exacerbated in rainy, muddy weather when you can't easily see potholes. Thank you for your attention.
