Probably a lateral sanitary line but could be a supply line. The sidewalk on the west side of Woodlawn has been perpetually wet for several weeks ever since the sorority there had some landscaping done using large, dirt-moving equipment. The wet spot is alongside the retaining wall on Woodlawn, ~20 sidewalk sections south of Third Street.
Large amounts of water have been draining out of the parking lot of Morrison's Appliance store on West Kirkwood Ave. During freezing temperatures, this creates a large sheet of ice accross the sidewalk and along the northern edge of Kirkwood Ave creating a hazard for pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles.
Under cut sidewalk. Lack of fill and support under the slab.
The sidewalk just north of the YMCA sign on South Highland Ave is slick with mud. Erosion from an adjacent hillside and mud/leaves from the gutter keep the sidewalk muddy. I shoveled mud off off it for an hour earlier this week, but it needs more work. Cleaning the gutter would be a big help. Thanks!
There is some sort of storm drain cover between 718 and 706 University that flips over if you step on it. I was walking down the sidewalk on the north side of the street and had to walk on the grass to avoid low hanging trees (that really need to be trimmed). I stepped on the cover and it flipped and I fell into it up to my knee, causing several serious scrapes on my leg. It is very dangerous! I was hurt so I didn't take note of the exact address, but it's on the patch of grass between the sidewalk and the street, and the low-hanging trees make it impossible to walk down the sidewalk - more people are going to fall in it. Please fix it so it doesn't flip - it was a very scary and painful experience!
on the side of the square that has the restaurants king-dough and the owlery, at the alley in the middle of the block, there is a constant little stream of water going out onto where pedestrians are walking on the sidewalk, so there's a leak somewhere. i have noticed this for several months, & with winter soon, it will freeze & be a hazard for slip&falls. thanks
At the intersection of Forrester & Winston, water is coming up from the sidewalk.
A new drain on the sidewalk along South Henderson St by the South football practice fields has a raised portion. We are concerned that in the dark (night or mornings) that pedestrians will not notice the raised portion and will trip, fall, end up n the street. Could this be striped some way to announce it's presence?
I own the property at 809 S. Fess. The sidewalk in the front of 809 S. Fess is sinking in right above where the storm drain runs underneath it. There is a crack where you can see a huge cavity opened up under the sidewalk. I am afraid it may cave in. The storm drain must be leaking under there. Please check it out. Thank You!
street drain in front of 1309 South Lincoln is completely blocked and has been for Years..literally.. I could post a photo but don't know where to send it..A few years ago I reported this and the Department said they didn't see a problem.. THe water backs up over the sidewalk.. Obviously there is a problem..The puddle is about 40 feet wide and out into the street almost to the center
