Pothole in road, on East Maxwell in front of 912
Pothole in road, on East Maxwell in front of 912
(Not really "street repair" but I couldn't find the right category): The eastbound Stop sign on Maxwell @ Highland, in Elm Heights, is OFTEN ignored. I have seen cars race right through it without even the pretense of slowing down. On foot, I have jumped out behind the car as it sped on, waving my hands and shouting "STOP SIGN!!", and once a driver waved an acknowledgment. Another time, driving north on Highland, I turned and followed the offender, honking and blinking my lights hoping s/he would notice that someone had noticed and be alert next time. The Stop sign is quite visible, not obscured by overhanging trees, so I am stumped. But I wonder if it could be moved closer to the road, enlarged, painted (the post too) a more neon/catchy red, and/or moved to the CENTER of the intersection (tricky for the snowplows, I know), and/or a "Stop-sign alert" sign added well before, or maybe it could be removed altogether with appropriate alerts posted for the north/south drivers, which might be safer than assuming people will stop. This is a potentially lethal situation for drivers, bikers, and walkers in a very pedestrian-heavy neighborhood. Thanks.
The alley between 808 and 816 E. Hunter Ave. has some large pot holes. It would be great if someone could look at this. Thank you.
There are a series of very large pot holes in the alley between S. Fess Ave and S. Stull Ave. (Just off of 1st St.). Six houses off of this alley use this road for access to garages/parking off of the alley. It is now impossible to avoid these pot holes when driving through the alley as they take up most of the road. It is to the point that ones car tire goes nearly up to the axle when driving through one of them. Can the city please come and fill/repair these pot holes ASAP? Many Thanks!
Hi, we're getting large potholes in Highland Ave north of 1st and south of University at the entrance to the alleyway. Also, I believe the city takes care of the sidewalk/entrance to the alleyway itself, which has also deteriorated in the years since it was last repaired. (I had called the city and watched it repaired.)
This is in the alley behind 715 South Woodlawn. The iron pipe has been there a long time but now a sheet of rusty metal has come loose from the top causing a pedestrian hazard.
There is a gravel area between 730 Atwater and 725 Hunter where the stones have been displaced causing a large pothole. This has become dangerous for the people living in the surrounding houses because when the hole fills with water and freezes in the winter, it becomes very slippery. Also, small cars bottom out when they hit that pothole, and it can't be avoided. It could use some more gravel brought in as soon as possible.
Customer has a drainage problem Rain water running down the alley and going under his garage door.
He reported this as a storm sewer issue at first and Tony E. told him all we could do is build up the berm to help keep the water from running into his garage. Mr Mcconnaughy called me and said that's not what he wants. He says the street dept. keeps patching the asphalt in the alley and now it is too high and that causes the water to drain into his garage. He wants the asphalt lowered from University St to his garage (he said about 20') so the existing rock berm he already has will keep the water out of his garage. I told him I would refer this to Street Dept.
Alley way between S Fess Ave (behind 612 S Fess Ave) and S Henderson Avenue (side of 609 S Henderson Ave) - getting large pot holes that are getting progressively worse
