Sidewalk (some areas are brick & some are cement) on this stretch could use some sanding to smooth over some areas where they are a bit uneven and a tripping hazard.
The pavement in front of our driveway seems to be sinking, which has now resulted in a large height difference between the asphalt and the concrete gutter/curb. Would it be possible to repair the sinking asphalt?
There's a large rock on the west side of the street creating an obstacle in the road and hindering the flow of traffic. This is located on S Fess Ave, between E University Street and E First Street, outside of the house 714 S Fess Ave. Please tend to this issue before an accident happens.
The sidewalk near 1418/1416 S Palmer Avenue area is completely washed out, with dangerous potholes making it difficult to park/walk. Issue previously submitted in 2018 and falsely reported as resolved.
After making a purchase (at 11:41:55am 1/10/25 according to the receipt) at World Foods Market I left and continued on foot to Kroger. Before reaching the corner with Walnut street I slipped and fell on the the sidewalk north of World Food Market's west parking lot, next to where they park their van. Some of their sidewalk is very well cleared, but the part north of the west parking lot is inadequately treated (and the sidewalk to the west of the west parking lot, as well).
I reported this last week for the first time. (Case #200875) I took this new photo this morning, which shows clearly the abundance of water issuing from this drain. I am confident that this is not simply runoff. I dealt with a similar complaint about one month ago lodged against a property I help manage for Chickering Rentals at 620 N College. Turns out, the water was coming from a sink AND a shower inside that house that was connected to a sump pump, and then connect to a downspout extension drain that expelled on the sidewalk. (I identified the issue and the company remedied it the same day it was reported to us.) It appears that the same thing may be happening at 609 S Fess. There is no explanation as to why so much water would be issuing from a downspout drain at 9am this morning when the temps are less than 10, far below freezing. But you can see in the picture the amount of snow the water has covered and had not yet frozen. I’m guessing if you go out now, it may be frozen. It’s only after it has recently been pumping and expelling that it is still liquid. The only explanation from what I can tell is it’s coming from inside the property. Either 605 s fess or 609 s fess. I’m guessing that there is a sink or shower inside the house, connected to a sump pump drain, connected to this drain on the sidewalk. Thanks for your help and attention to this.
Sidewalks are blocked and not been touched, including the bus stop
Sidewalks have remained unshoveled since the first snowfall of the year. There is heavy pedestrian traffic on the portion of their sidewalk along Allendale. Failure to shovel that section is particularly hazardous. There are also several roughly 6" deep holes immediately adjacent to the sidewalk here which present a tripping hazard or potential ankle sprain. They are currently hard to see because of the snow.
