A large and growing area of crumbling asphalt on the northwest corner of E. Maxwell Lane and Manor Dr. could use some repair. The road surface at this intersection is generally in need of repair. Storm water flow seems to be the primary culprit as storm water flows downhill south on Nanor Dr.
Our street, which is sloped downward from Dunn to N. Walnut, has water sluicing down Glendora in even a light rain. We have no storm drains or infrastructure to handle heavy rains except for the ditches some residents have dug on their own properties. I have such a ditch at 311 Glendora, and it runs very full and fast when it rains, keeping the street from flooding even more than it always does. My ditch has asphalt that is full of holes, so it needs patching- but that will only be a bandaid on what is a much larger problem... the fact that our neighborhood has no stormwater infrastructure. This causes basements to flood, and even one resident's basement wall to collapse under the floodwaters pouring down from Dunn St. Please contact me for more information, or direct me to the person who can help us. Thanks!
The street appears to be sinking; almost as tho a sink hole is slowly developing along an under the street water main to a manhole cover in the middle of the intersection. We now have to drive around this spot in order not to damage our cars.
I’m sure you love getting these. I’ve had a small trench on the side of the road on the University Road side of my house. It’s been there for a while. Recently, a water line broke or something similar happened requiring the city to move a fire hydrant to the city easement in that part near my yard. The trench has gotten bigger, and with the new construction, it has exposed dirt that will further wash out. I think you’ll want to add a lot of gravel to cover that trench and the construction spot for the hydrant. A new storm drain may be a long term solution. Anyway, if you can add a lot of gravel or similar (grass?), I won’t even complain about the damage to my lawn or even the lawn damage from Hoosier Fiber from last year.
The asphalt has collapsed next to the sewer drain and water is flowing into the sewer through the hole, eroding the area under it. (This is the second drain in this neighborhood I have reported for the same issue. It seems the contractor might have used less-than-standard practices in preparing the street drains here.)
I drive by this spot each day, and I am amazed that there is always running water there. I happen to be walking by this evening at the end of a hot day at the end of two very dry weeks, and it’s still wet there. It does not appear to be running water coming from a house over the hill. Something is up with the street or under the street.

Greetings- Please direct this to Angie Grubb-Flick's attention. On Indiana Ave just north of Kirkwood in the east side lane there appear to be two missing water valve lids. We are having a road foot race (city permit obtained) on Saturday morning Oct 27, 2018 and need these lids replaced or filled for safety.
