Cracked sidewalk danger
Cracked sidewalk danger
Complaint of overgrowth from property obstructing sidewalk path.
Reported to Mike Carter via email 1/11/18. Reporting to uReport as well. FYI. With the new snow, it’s a lot easier to see where the leak is at. I hope you had a nice long weekend… Best, Rick On Jan 11, 2018, at 2:27 PM, Rick Birch Dietz wrote: Mike, here’s the scoop on the leak we discussed. Thanks! I live at 1500 E Maxwell Ln. I’m at the SE corner of Maxwell and Sheridan. There appears to be water pooling on east side of Sheridan near the western entrance to my driveway. I noticed ice here a few times last winter but thought it was just frozen road runoff and it wasn’t super cold last year so ice build-up wasn’t significant. But it’s been well below freezing and there shouldn’t be standing water. I didn’t observe anything like this in the spring, summer or fall. I assume there’s a small water line leak underground, perhaps underneath the road. The road is cracked along the edge so there may be some freeze/thaw going on. It doesn’t seem to be an emergency — the flow seems pretty minimal but it does generate some ice south of the wet area when below freezing. I wanted to report this now that I realize what is going on. I placed a stake with orange flagging tape in the area where it seems like water is coming to the surface. Thanks for looking into this.

There is a Jeep intruding on the sidewalk here near the corner of Atwater and Jordan. Sidewalk is already very narrow as it is.
Trash piled up on sidewalk/property
There was a private tree cutting crew redirecting traffic until after 9:0 last night, and they left this massive tree blocking the sidewalk. It is making it unsafe for kids to walk to Harmony School.
Vehicle parking blocking part of the sidewalk.
Unfortunately a muskrat carcass is on the east side of Lincoln Street between second and smith. It is in the sidewalk on the east side of Lincoln
The students there use part of the front yard and part of the sidewalk often to park and extra car (usually a jeep ) doubling up on a single driveway.
Old boarding house at 624 S Fess uses its backyard on University for parking. Because there are no tire stops motorists often encroach on the sidewalk when they park their cars.
