GOLDSTEIN STATES THAT CITY PAVED THE N-S ALLEY TO THE WEST OF HER HOME IN 1991 OR 1992. APPARENTLY THIS HAS ALLOWED THE WATER TO RUN OFF ONTO HER PROPERTY IN HER CRAWLSPACE. SHE DID NOT REALIZE THAT THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON UNTIL SHE RECENTLY HAD TO GO UNDERNEATH THE HOUSE. THE WATER HAS CAUSED PROBLEMS. WHAT CAN THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT DO?
The street was repaved and now the water does not go to the inlet as it should. It ponds in front of the house and deposited sand into the drive entrance. The sand was from the last snows.
PETERS STATED THAT THE CITY DID PAVING WORK ON HILLSDALE LAST YEAR. A GRATE OF SOME TYPE WAS INSTALLED NEAR THE STOP SIGN ON THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF HILLSDALE & 5TH STREET. THE GRATE MAY BE STOPPED UP BECAUSE AFTER A RAIN THE WATER POOLS AT THIS CORNER. THE WATER DOES NOT RUN OFF, THEREFORE, IT BECOMES STAGNANT AFTER SITTING THERE FOR AWHILE. THESE THEN BECOMES A PRIME AREA FOR MOSQUITOES, CONCERNED WITH THE HEALTH ISSUE.
Ms. Goldstein says the alley was paved on the west side of her house approximately 3-4 years ago and every since she has had water runoff which is eroding her foundation.
