Sidewalk covered in thick mud and water
Sidewalk covered in thick mud and water
In front of our home at 1314 S Grant there is a dip in the road that holds water for days and sometimes weeks after a rain. Last summer it served as enough standing water to be a bad mosquito breeding ground... would love for it to be patched such that it doesn't breed them again this year.
Crews have patched potholes on Montclair Ave within the last few weeks, but they missed an area that is on the edge of the roadway, next to the curb, near the southeast corner of Montclair, right near the intersection with Rock Creek. There are several holes that fill with water after a storm, leaving standing water that will encourage mosquito breeding. Please come back and fix this spot. Thanks, John
looking for resolution from previous case #182211. Can someone please reach out to me about a curb potentially going around my property to stop the trucks, cars, and standing water from eating away at my yard.
Workers grinding the sidewalk are generating significant clouds of silica dust. Silica-generating grinding operations are supposed to be controlled by water or vacuum. The vacuum systems they are using are clearly ineffective. This is clear if you watch them work, it's also clear if you examine a recently ground section of sidewalk. Significant concrete dust remains on the sidewalk surface because the vacuum isn't picking it up. The city is substituting a respiratory hazard for a trip hazard. I don't want to get these guys in trouble, but would appreciate if the city would ensure they're using water or effective vacuum controls.
Workers were grinding sidewalk at this location around noon creating large, visible clouds of silica dust. Per OSHA regulations, concrete grinding requires use of a vacuum or water to control silica dust emissions. Clearly these controls were not being used or were malfunctioning. This was happening right next to a school. Children shouldn't get silicosis because of a cement grinder's negligence. This is the second time I've reported the issue of uncontrolled cement dust from sidewalk griding, please do something about it.
The sidewalk on 2nd St between Arbutus and Eastside has large sections of hardened paving material that is a tripping hazard and an eyesore. It appears to be from a road repair there (perhaps where the water main broke) and may have been thrown up on the sidewalk with snow removal.
At 916 S. Westhill Ct., 47403, the City began to repair the area of my street, but never completed the job. There had been a water main break. There are still orange cones in the area at the bottom of my driveway.
