My only parking place is deteriorating and the steps to my walkway are a hazard. The last couple rains we have had have washed a lot of dirt and gravel onto my grass. Can you add some railroad ties to reinforce this parking space or move my parking so that is goes to my side yard instead? I can add gravel but at this point it will just wash onto my lawn? I have fallen so many times the way this is currently setup. if the parking strip was more of a gravel drive way I could more easily get my garbage cans up to the street with out falling.
Ms Kao contacted Jon Callahan and then me about the culvert under the drive at First United Church. She explained they want to do some improvements to make is safer to mow around the culvert and was hoping someone could give her some advice.
I am reporting a second dead tree behind my house that is on the street side of the sidewalk. This one is also covered in vines.
There is a utility pole on the east side of my lot which has all kinds of wires, cables and other things running up and down the pole as well as some extending horizontally (which I assume carry power). There is a line of very tall pine trees next to the fence on the west side of the lot just east of me. A few weeks ago Duke Power trimmed the top portions of those trees, the portions surrounding two large cables which I believe carry power to the subdivision south of me. Duke did not trim the lower portions of the tall trees and now some of those lower branches have collapsed onto horizontal wires extending from the utility pole, wires underneath the two large cables. I think some of these wires are old telephone lines which are now not that far off the ground. I need to get the lower portions of those trees trimmed (the ones hanging over my property) but I'm not comfortable hiring tree trimmers to do the necessary work when there are all kinds of wires interspersed with the tree branches. I got a referral from Duke for a contractor who can figure out what all the lines are for and take down the ones which are inactive such as old telephone wires. However, the Duke contractor said the City needs to look at this first to see what, if anything, the City needs to do before the Duke contractor does any work. City, can you help me here? There is some urgency here as these lower branches keep collapsing and anyone on the ground can reach wires attached to the utility pole.
