Response to case 204377 overgrown weeds and weeds along the curb is taking over the sidewalk. The sidewalk is hard to walk on with the overgrowth and school starts Wednesday so it's not a safe area for kids to walk on.
Recently, the City has redone the intersections along East Cottage Grove to make the corners ADA-compliant. Unfortunately, the jobs were not completed. The installations of the warning plates are fine, but the street surfaces flanking them are not. The streets are all eaten up with deep, sharp gullies on each side of every installation at each corner of all four streets involved (Washington, Lincoln, Grant, and Dunn) where they cut through the concrete to prepare for the work. Also, the bit of asphalt applied to the corners afterwards was just mounded up and left bumpy and difficult for chairs (and walkers!) to navigate. Right now, all intersections are far more dangerous than they were before the project started, and if left in this condition will only get worse when debris, leaves, snow and ice begin to accumulate, and the rate of street degradation will intensify.
If you are done working on E Hunter Ave, please come and get your sign. Sign has been sitting in front of 1718 E Hunter Ave for the last 3 weeks. See picture. No work being done on the street since then. Thank you.
The ADA requires that sidewalks be firm, stable and slip-resistant. Numerous bricks that make up the downtown sidewalk are loose or missing. I saw an older woman trip on one of these in front of Fountain Square this week. I helped her up and when her husband took her to the ER because she may have broken her ankle. When it’s wet, these sidewalks are slippery than concrete sidewalks. They look nice but they are hazardous. At the least, the city needs to do a better job of maintaining them. Thank you.
Trees need trimmed at intersection of W Kirkwood Ave & N Ritter St please. Bus driver is saying it is scraping her bus making the turn. Thank you for all you do! Have a good day.
Overgrown yard and vegetation piles are a hazard and promoting mosquito and tick habitat.
The garbage pick-up guys broke our garbage can over a week ago as it was being dumped and took it away when they picked up the garbage. We still don't have a replacement can so my tenants were unable to get rid of their weeks worth of trash on pick-up day today. Can you PLEASE bring a new garbage can!!! There are two apartments in this house so we need the same large can. THIS IS MY SECOND REQUEST. THANK YOU!!!!
Not sure which category this belongs under. The grass-cutters for this property and the one directly to the north and also the Grant Street Inn to the south routinely blow grass cuttings into the street. Sometimes, there is so much that it creates a cycling hazard, and then when the rain washes it all into the storm sewer grates and clogs them, temporary lakes form. Are the any regulations relating to the levying of fines to careless people who dump yard waste (grass, leaves, etc.) in the street?
on going poblem on sare road right as you pass verona park on east side of road asyou get to and enter round about, when they mowed there yesterday they filled street full of grass.not sure who was mowing, maybe who ever takes care of the mowing for verona park. this is why the sewers are clooged up. this may be for the utilities department to handle. i can never reach them. thx
Hi. This area of Maxwell lane needs to be built up a bit higher to help rainwater drain off into the grass. This spot retains water for many days after even a moderate rain. People like to park on the grass which is fair since it’s on the city’s right of way, but it looks bad, splashes pedestrians and bicycles and I think could be improved with a minimal amount of work. The edge of the road just needs a bit of building up so water drains properly. Thanks. Fred Pavalko
