Potholes, Other Street Repair

910 S Highland AVE

Case Date:
11/20/2014

(Not really "street repair" but I couldn't find the right category): The eastbound Stop sign on Maxwell @ Highland, in Elm Heights, is OFTEN ignored. I have seen cars race right through it without even the pretense of slowing down. On foot, I have jumped out behind the car as it sped on, waving my hands and shouting "STOP SIGN!!", and once a driver waved an acknowledgment. Another time, driving north on Highland, I turned and followed the offender, honking and blinking my lights hoping s/he would notice that someone had noticed and be alert next time. The Stop sign is quite visible, not obscured by overhanging trees, so I am stumped. But I wonder if it could be moved closer to the road, enlarged, painted (the post too) a more neon/catchy red, and/or moved to the CENTER of the intersection (tricky for the snowplows, I know), and/or a "Stop-sign alert" sign added well before, or maybe it could be removed altogether with appropriate alerts posted for the north/south drivers, which might be safer than assuming people will stop. This is a potentially lethal situation for drivers, bikers, and walkers in a very pedestrian-heavy neighborhood. Thanks.

Other

910 S Grant ST

Case Date:
7/17/2023

Hello! I want to report that there is a lot of poison ivy at the NW corner of S Grant and E Allen St, 47401. This is right along the edge of the street on S Grant. We live at 909 S Grant, just up the hill, with two small kiddos, so we're constantly stressed out about balls, etc, rolling across the street and down into the poison ivy patches. I think this is technically right of way/city property if it is this close to the street? Not sure. I remember seeing in the past somewhere to report poison ivy, but now can't find it, so I'm just reporting it under misc and other. If there is any kind of city program to come remove poison ivy, I'd love to see it happen at that corner. There is a ton of ivy growing up a light post on that corner as well, some of it along the bottom might be poison ivy, not all of it is (that is mostly virginia creeper? something like that - the 5 leaf variety.)

Mrs. Burch called the HAND Dept. VERY upset over an overgrown bush and weeds as a line of sight problem at the corner of Dodds and Morton. She stated that the branches off of the bushes that are overgrown scrached her car. She stated that the City should pay for her car, and that she is going to take the weeds and branches to the Mayors office and dump them on his desk. She would like a call back on this ASAP. She stated that she never got a call back the last time she placed a complant.

Unsafe Buildings

825 S Eastside DR

Case Date:
8/17/2018

A gentleman stopped by our office this morning to alert us to an unsafe swing set that was installed in the yard of 825 S. Eastside Dr. He said that the swing is installed in a way that it would go into the road if someone was on it. He is nervous that a kid is going to swing on it unsupervised and go into the road. He would like to remain anonymous.

Drainage or Runoff

807 S Park AVE

Case Date:
3/22/2017

Ms Dwyer contacted me last week and I met her at her house this morning. She is concerned about a sinkhole forming in her yard again and the amount of water that ponds on the south side of her house. This is a historical problem. We made some storm improvements in the alley east of her last year and hoped that would help solve some of her problems but she still has issues and would like to know what she can do. I told her I have asked our crews to video the storm sewer that runs along her yard to make sure the pipe is sound. I told her I would also check our sanitary sewer videos to make sure the sanitary sewer is sound. I explained I would be out of the office for about a week and would get back with her in a couple weeks to let her know what we have found.
