Over a year ago, new water lines were installed along Brookdale to accommodate a new apartment complex on the west side of Kinser Pike. (Aspen Apts.) That construction dug up parts of the yards of the houses on Brookdale as well as part of the street itself. The street was never repaved and the areas that were covered up with dirt become muddy when it rains.
A new resident moved into the neighborhood recently who is in a wheelchair (permanently). He appreciates the ADA-compliant corners at the intersections, but he has difficulty navigating some of the sidewalks where they cross alleys. This particular location is *notoriously* degraded and should be the first alley-repair done next time the City is thinking about ADA issues. Specifically, it is midway between Lincoln and Grant on the south side of 10th. Thank you.
I had sent in a request on 5/19/25 Case #202787 reporting that Olive Street needs a concrete curb installed. Due to the excessive rainfall this has caused flooding issues for 1502 S. Olive and the house on the corner of Hillside and Olive (1144 E. Hillside Dr.). I was informed that this was on the paving list and there was plans for an asphalt curb. I called on 6/9/25 and spoke to the Engineering dept. (Iris) about installing a concrete curb instead of asphalt. There is already a partial concrete curb that runs past 1502. It needs to have a concrete curb all the way up the hill so that rain will not flood into the driveway and along the house of 1502, plus it runs past the curb into the yard of 1144 E. Hillside causing flooding in the basement. They have a sump pump now, but it's old and could quit at any time. It's already August and there hasn't been any kind of activity on this street. Do you have an estimated date as to when the street will be paved and the curb installed? Also, there is a construction sign in the yard of 1144 E. Hillside that has been there all summer and would like it to be moved. Thank you for any information you can provide!
There is a sinkhole, approximately 14 inches diameter and 12 inches deep, in the road. It's relatively recent. It could be dangerous.
There is a hole in the driveway of this complex on the direct route from the new sidewalk across to the street. My kid tripped on it last night after dark, discovering the issue. I'm not sure if it's the responsibility of the city or the apartment complex, but it is a safety hazard for pedestrians. It goes all the way down to the culvert. Thanks.
