water cover sticking up
water cover sticking up
I’m writing you today to let you know of a potentially dangerous situation in front of 1824 Hunter Ave. Directly in front of this home, there is a sink hole forming. There is a visible 8 inch hole in the drainage asphalt running along the street. When you look into the hole, there is a large empty space underneath the asphalt. Each time it rains, water is obviously going into this hole and eroding the ground underneath. If a car would park there, it would surely break through. Not sure it would hold the weight of a person either. Please send a crew to fill in this hole with some stones before it gets worse. Thank you. Aaron Unger, owner of 1718 E Hunter Ave.
I came home and the water in all my toilets seems to have like exploded all over the bowl... was there utility work being done today? Is my water safe to drink? Its kind of unnerving to come home to this without explanation.
The "manhole" covers along E. 3rd street through campus and continuing to at least Lincoln Street are well below the paved street surface and cause drivers to either swerve to avoid them or cause a sharp drop. The city resolved that same issue with the cover at the intersection of Smith Road and East 3rd Street. Why not fix all of them?
overgrowth and clog storm drain
This is my second time reporting this issue. This area of road at Hunter Ave and S Park Ave intersection is always wet. I pass by this area almost every day, and no matter the amount of recent rainfall or not, it’s always wet. I’m fairly certain there is a water main leaking under the road.
Broken glass in bike lane between 7th and Kirkwood on Washington street
The corner of Smith Avenue and Morton Street has a large pot hole and lots of gravel. Thank you for your time.
There are piles of sand and gravel in the bicycle lane on N. College Ave. from Old State Route 37 to 11th Street. This creates a sliding hazard for bicyclists in close proximity to high-speed motor vehicles.
A cover for a water or gas line continually pops up in the street. If cars should hit it, it could cause tire damage or more. This has been reported previously but has not been resolved.
