Deep mud and water covering the sidewalk for years, this is a safety hazard that is equivalent to snow and ice that is routinely ticked for at other residences in the area!

The attached photo really does not do the issue justice - the road on the west side of my house (spring st) has large chunks fallen off, eroding. It needs repaired and a curb needs added, I live at the bottom of a hill and all of the water for blocks up comes rushing into my yard and into my house, vs the culvert just further back in my yard. I talked with someone in sidewalks about this almost two years ago - with the dramatic rain we get now, this issue cannot really be ignored any longer. I would so appreciate a curb put in, road repair, and the curb on the corner of the street raised as well to direct the rain into the drain on the street in front of my house.
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.
I run the shop at 208 N Walnut. I see 90% of people walk into oncoming traffic because they can’t see the pathway blocked by the water barrier.
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.
Brand new intersection —-ponding water on crosswalk. The water drained fine before the street was repaved.
Water is flowing from the lawn on the west side of Roosevelt, just south of Fifth St., and then running down the sidewalk. Looks like a leak; also the sidewalk is a bit slippery because the water is flowing through tree debris.
There is a water drainage issue at Spicewood ln across from Sherwood Oaks church on the project that is being complete. The water is not draining at this location. Also, the sidewalk from here to the roundabout at Sare road is extremely overgrown making it single file for bikers, runners and walkers in multiple areas.
The northbound traffic at Kinser Pike and the bypass gets so backed up many evenings past Brookdale Drive. It takes so many lights to get through. If you’re going straight, the majority of the cars are making right turns, especially now with the amount of student apartments that are along the south end of Kinser Pike. There needs to be a right turn lane on that side of the intersection. Also, on the opposite side of the intersection, the right turn lane and the straight lane of southbound. Kinser Pike holds a lot of water when it rains due to the new white curb with the white poles that has been installed there. Those are really an eyesore, but it’s causing water to flood when we have rain.
