Recent construction of over-large building next to old stone church on Grant has caused drainage issues on the alley intersection between 9th and 10th, Grant and Lincoln. When it rains, a lake forms with nowhere for the water to go now. People who built the building should be required to fix this before winter.
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.
Several re-occurring pot holes, plus a metal, water/hole cover off and laying on the side of the road (West side of Aldi's.)
We continue to experience recurring flooding and standing water. There is a single small drain outlet on our side of the street. Rising water frequently threatens to enter our retail location, especially when cars pass and cause waves. More photos and video available upon request.
Large pothole busted my tire Tuesday evening, passenger side front tire. Pothole had water in it, impossible to see. Having to take vehicle to a professional to have fixed.
310 and 308 N. Lincoln has significant water drainage issues when it rains. We used to have a curb on that side of Lincoln, but it was removed. We need to have a small curb created to keep the rainwater from running down the driveway and into the units. The curb should run from just north of 310, all the way to the east side of 301 Lincoln Street.
Probably not much can be done about this, but the new parking lot over the recently redone culvert downtown by People's Park has a low spot right where the diagonal path crosses through it. The low spot has been accumulating water after rains, and it seems the grading as it is prevents the water from going anywhere. Likely over time this will facilitate degradation of the pavement, but more importantly at present it creates a little lake that pedestrians and bicycles must travel through, and will probably produce a slick spot there when the temperature drops. Is there any way to have this area looked at and have it redone so that water drains away? Not clear if this is a City issue or not, given the entire lot is owned by IU.
I don't have a current photo but particularly since the utility work completed on this stretch of road the parking spots in front of the shops flood and hold water. The gradient actually seems to slope away from the drain instead of towards. As a result, we frequently have to bail out the parking spots to make them usable for customers. Flooding issues include the accessible parking spot, which poses a risk to the mobility impaired. How can we best collaborate on a solution? Thanks!
Near the alley way at 401 N Dunn water does not drain properly and builds up with gravel and dirt making it difficult for handicap travel. 8th Street has been paved over so many times that drainage is impaired. There is quite a bit of debris there now and this holds a lot of water during a rain event. Finally the alley has been patched a little but it is in pretty bad shape and needs redone.
