Heavy rain, poor repair by Vectren to streets after their gas line upgrades, and poor driving by garbage trucks and other drivers have resulted in the pictured conditions on my street.
The South Arbutus Drive cul-de-sac needs repaving. The pavement is eroding away in several places, the north side of the green space in the middle of the cul-de-sac has become a pothole, and previous repairs/upgrades to water and gas lines have left the street in bad shape.
Pothole in street near driveway of 500 South Arbutus Drive
There is a large pothole on the north side of the circular median between 500 and 501 South Arbutus that needs to be filled in. This pothole is caused in part by city garbage, recycling, and snow plow trucks that are too large to turn around in in the cul-de-sac. I reported this problem earlier this week. The ticket was marked as "resolved" but nothing was done.
The trash or recycling truck drove through the median area in the middle of the cul de sac in between 500 and 501 South Arbutus Drive. This left deep tire ruts in the grass. City trash and recycling truck drivers normally back down our street since the trucks are too large to navigate the turn-around. The driver today may have been unfamiliar with this practice.
The city's garbage and recycling trucks are tearing up the circular median between 500 and 501 South Arbutus because they are too large to turn around in the cul-de-sac. I have reported this issue several times. I can arrange with the other residents of our street to put all of our garbage and recycling bins on either the east or west side of the street (whichever is preferred by the truck drivers) to make this easier so that they can back in or back out of the street rather than trying to turn around. Please let me know if you would like for us to do this.
House is at intersection of Hunter and Clifton. Debris is on Hunter St. side of the property (where sanitation also makes its pickups).
