While leaving the Justice Building for lunch today, I drove west on 7th St, and drove over the newly paved area where they were doing work within the past few weeks (by the B-Line Trail), and the dip is so bad it almost ate my car. Not sure if the new pavement has sunken in, or what, but someone is going to seriously damage their car. I don't believe my car was damaged, but I'm not sure how it's not. Can someone please address this or at least put a sign up to give drivers warning? Thanks

The culvert that runs under N. Hay treet needs serious attention. The gutter draining into it is clogged. Tree overgrowth is blocking the west side. The culvert might need dredging.

Good morning, There is quite a lip on the (much broken up and repaved this summer) street in front of our house, located at 1019 S Hawthorne Drive. It's been there for years, and our garbage cans keep falling backwards because of the difference between the road surface and the ancient in-need-of repair culvert in front of our house. Our neighbor, at 1026 Hawthorne Drive, had the same issue and said I could ask for the same remediation that fixed their problem - a fresh pour and grading of the asphalt shoulder in front of their house. Is this possible? I think the garbage truck folks would be grateful for this fix, too. Thank you so much! Christena Nippert-Eng

Water bubbling up through pavement along north side of Arden Dr just west of the intersection with Wilton Dr. I reported this earlier in Case #182328. It was reportedly investigated and resolved. But I don't know what "resolved" means. It is still happening, just as it was when the temperature was well below freezing.

Since last week's rainfall, the sewer grates on E 1st Street are covered with leaves, particularly between Fess and Grant Streets, thus preventing the proper drainage of rainwater. Can you please have these cleaned? I also want to add that this has begun happening more often since the City has stopped collecting curbside leaves. Thank you for your help, E.C. Behar 11/11/2024

Betsy Smith - 812-327-5472 Ms. Smith called to report that sewer work was done at Jackson/W. Kirkwood. This has caused one of the manhole covers to not be sealed properly and it is constantly rattling. She would like to have someone come out and correct this.

Since the street was repaved our garage has flooded 3 times in the past year due to runoff coming d9wn our driveway and over our yard. We tried to dig a relief ditch but this is more difficult and the flooding is due to the fill in of the original ditch in the easement and the fact that the culvert under the driveway is now clogged with roots and dirt. I need the ditch dug properly. Also, your department fixed a brok3n main last winter and did not fill in the hole left by the repair.

There is a city street drain at the bottom of my cul-de-sac between my house and my neighbors. I have been told by the city that the drain is not on city property. I am not sure why or how I am to maintain the drain. It is partially underground and does not drain as it should down the hill. How can the city put in a drain that doesn't work and then expect me to correct the issue. Last week I believe they backwashed the drain which let to a HUGE amount of leaves etc that was in the streets to wash down the hill behind my house and AGAIN destroy the steps I built! I have maintained the walking path at Rogers family park on both side of my house but am extremely upset that the city trees that fall and block the drainage along with the street wash (leaves, snow salt etc) destroying both sides of my house and washing away what little yard I have. I have cut brush and pushed logs but I am a 56 year old women and I can't move or clean as the city could if they would just come in and correct the drainpipe and push the dead trees away on the other side of my house. I push mud off of the trail and clean it all the time! I am often asked if I work for the city. I should!! I can't keep up with what the city should be doing with the water drainage in my neighborhood. I am at the bottom and I get EVERYONES leaves, sticks, street salt and mess. Please help me clean it up so I can continue to take care of it.
