There are metal plates on the road that shift every time you drive over them. The shift was so bad that I could feel my car pull in a different direction while going over them.
Maintenance needed on south side of 7th btw Roosevelt and Clark. Vegetation creeping into the street.
Tree limbs over hanging in roadway
Tree limb still attached to tree is blocking most of the road. If it's not here, it was near 14th and Madison
Every time it rains our street floods severely and then backs up onto the sidewalks and coats them in a thick layer of mud. It’s a combination of heavy storms that the storm drain on the corner of 12th and Walnut cannot keep up with and a residual problem caused by the fiberware that was installed last year. Ever since they dug up the corner of 12th and Walnut the ground is nothing but mud and has been slowly taking over the sidewalk. It is unsafe to walk on as it is incredibly slippery and is at least an inch thick.
The alley-way behind the salvation army and the brown house next to it has discarded lumber and overgrowth blocking access to & from the alleyway.
Received multiple calls that this street is blocked by the construction development of the new apartment complex across the street. Spoke to HAND who transferred me to the Street Division who transferred me to Engineering Department, where I left a voicemail. Multiple residents/vendors of our apartment location there on Lincoln Street have been told that they cannot use the street today d/t construction and as of 20 minutes ago it was blocked. This is the only street in and out of here for us/residents/etc.
I'm not sure if you are aware, but they are resurfacing Washington and that makes this the PERFECT opportunity to do something here that makes sense, ie: not paint a line and say it's for bikes and hope/pretend that cars don't park in it, because they will. The easiest and most obvious solution is to do nothing, or at most paint a "sharrow". Simple fact is: a car can't block a bike lane if it isn't there.
