Water Utility Problems
817 N Park AVE
- Case Date:
- 10/22/2025
There is a relatively large water meter lid (maybe 18" in diameter) that is crooked and now stuck in an awkward position. It is located on the east side of Park about 40' south of 12th Street along the ROW. Since there are no longer buildings at this location (it might have served the old laudromat), it's possible this meter is no longer being used. If so, maybe the pit should be filled in. The way it is now, someone could trip on it or step into it or an animal could fall in and get stuck. It has been loose for at least several years and we have repositioned the lid every time it became uncentered, but this time it is locked in place and we cannot (meaning, we do not want to try to) fix it.

Hole alongside water meter in ROW has been present for a while. Dangerous. Please fill in. For reference, see #202952 and #202953. NB: Depending on where exactly you click on the map, the address that comes up is sometimes *incorrectly* listed as "414 E. Cottage Grove", but that is wrong. The *correct* address is 450 E. Cottage Grove. Hole is by the street closest to the SW corner of the lot.

I was riding in the Woodlawn bike lane today going south and it was full of rocks and debris. It ended up popping my bike tire. Please keep the bike lanes clean, especially on busy roads like Woodlawn where riding into the road would have gotten me hit by a car.

Potholes, Other Street Repair
305 N Dunn ST

There is a cracked hole in this parking lot that goes very deep into the ground. This doesn’t look man made and may be a potential sinkhole as this is not a pothole. I don’t know the property maanager as I was just walking through the lot, but it does seem to need immediate attention.
Potholes, Other Street Repair

Just a suggestion for the next time any work is planned for Grant Street: At the intersections with both 8th and 9th streets, there are some storm sewer grates alongside the road that are too accessible, in that their design is completely open, with only a single metal bar across the openings. This allows animals and large pieces of trash to flow into the storm sewers. All the other grates in the neighborhood are more enclosed and safer. Might be good to switch these old ones out with ones that are similar to all the others and safer. Even a very small child might be able to fit into a couple of them, because the cross-bar on some of them is bent so much.

Caller to HAND reported that the metal drain covering on the sidewalk is sticking up and loose. It is very sharp and is in an area that is high-traffic for walkers.

7th st alternate bike route is confusing. aifhn points against one way street. need to mark 7st with more bike designation. also, sewer grates will catch cyclists tires. mees to rotate. tx
