serious potholes on 2nd going west at Grant block
serious potholes on 2nd going west at Grant block
the bicycle lanes on both College and Walnut between 11th street and where they begin/end around Steak and Shake often are littered with debris, particularly under the railroad overpass.
Lincoln just north of third
Pothole on west side of Morton in the city parking area. This fills with water and could be a trip hazard.
Alley between and parallel to 2nd and University / Lincoln and Grant. VERY large holes, particularly to the west. Thank you.
I received a phone call today saying that the potholes I reported last week had been repaired. After inspecting the area at around noon I found this not to be the case. I suspect the person who evaluated the situation was noticing that some alley repair had been completed in the spring/summer at the street entrance however about ten to twenty yards up from the street entrance is where the problem area is. Old pavement has crumbled away and cars are bottoming out. To remind you of the location, this is the first alleyway on the south side of 6th street east of Adams. It is a very high traffic alley way due to the fact that there is off street parking for several apartments on Kirkwood behind my house (1221 W. 6th). If you follow the alley way around to the left (exiting on Pine Street) you will find many more problem spots. I hope these issues can be addressed soon before the really bad weather arrives. Thank you!
Road (asphalt) is cracked from one side to another - all of its width, right in front of 1630 S Ira St. Please fix/pave/take corrective measures for crack not to become worse.
(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.
Pothole on Weimer Road. Driving south last curve before Tapp Road.
A series of potholes have been expanding on Cambridge Drive at the intersection with Sheffield Drive. I do not have photos but am happy to submit them if required. Many thanks for your consideration!
