Slope north of 911 N. Maple is overgrown.
Slope north of 911 N. Maple is overgrown.
The sidewalk along the west side of Walnut street between the train tracks and the CVS is in bad shape. There are some large pieces of concrete that have come loose and have created several large tripping hazards.
There is debris just north of the train tracks. Looks like a broken car bumper.
Caller states that the city-owned property on the south side of the walking path from N. Maple to Monroe County United Ministries is overgrown. It was determined about 2 months ago that it is the responsibility of the street dept. to maintain.
Rather large pothole
Could the alley/connector at North Orris Drive, between 11th and Cottage Grove be ploughed? It always has been in the past, but wasn't after this last snow. Thank you!
Street light out on Blair Avenue, next to our home at 915 N. Blair.
I tried to describe this issue over the phone but the street dept. employee only wanted to blame my driveway for destroying the city street. What?? The problem is the street gutters. When the 800 block of Briarcliff was repaved about 6 years ago, it was ground down and the asphalt was carried into the gutter and made for a smooth transition to the remaining gutter concrete. The 900 block of Briarcliff was not ground down and repaved at that time. We are still waiting for the rest of Briarcliff to be repaved properly. In the 900 block the street's asphalt is approx. 3 inches higher than the concrete gutter so when you include the yard side of the gutter we have one enormous gully. I know of one broken ankle because of this and two weeks ago the Amazon driver twisted his ankle stepping into the gully getting out of his truck. I had asked about putting concrete in the gully in front of my mailbox and was told by street employee NO, that would destroy the street. So what can be done to either pave the gutter in the 900 block like the 800 block or grind down the street pavement in the 900 block so it makes a smooth transition with the gutter. I know what I would do but the city owns the street. We on the 900 block pay the same city tax rate as the 800 block so I think we should have the same street setup. I did ask the street employee to bring out a two wheel drive vehicle and try to drive through the gutter. Not surprised no one showed up. Thanks
pothole
Hello, The bike lane on N College is covered in gravel and debris. Under the rail bridge north of 12th St, I am forced to bike in the far right lane of traffic due to the debris. I understand that there is a project on this area, and I sincerely hope that protected bike lanes are installed to create less stressful trips downtown.
