Last year, the section of the sidewalk at Washington and Cottage Grove was replaced, but the workers left a trench in the road that collects water and breeds mosquitos. I couldn't help but notice when similar work was done this summer on 10th street and a layer of pavement was laid alongside the sidewalk to fill the trench there. Probably just an oversight but it'd be nice to get this job completed.
Sent Monday, May 21: "I have been to your office to complain about the mess at 823 w. 7th street. The front porch is covered with trash that has been accumulating for 15-20 years. The back and side yards are overgrown and contain litter and receptacles that can fill with standing water. The property is a breeding ground for mosquitos, rats, and other pests. I and several neighbors believe it poses a risk to public health. Your enforcement officer took a look, but told me that nothing was ticketable. I respectfully disagree. While the overgrown vegetation is not “turf grass”, it is a menace and eyesore. The garbage on the porch attracts human as well as animal pests. It invites others to litter and dump on the property. Although I was at your office, I was not given a complaint form to sign. Nor was I able to submit a complaint on your website. (I don’t know why unless it was my iPad) I definitely want to file an official complaint and have it kept on record. I also ask you to reconsider and help us to clean up this blight on the neighborhood. Thank you."
In intersection of High St and E Maxwell Ave, there is a missing steel cover of a water access point. Has been missing for days. Creates a hole about 6" or 8" across. Hazardous.
Water meter cover in the middle of the street needs replacing. It's broken and you could trip in it if you're not careful
Yard waste, claims "poison" being poured on the area where excessive growth. Concerned about "poison" getting into other yards, being near children and the safety of the water supply.
Can you please look at the drainage on High Street in this area? The street is always covered in water with medium to heavy rains. It doesn't appear that there are enough drains on this area of the street. This has been a problem for years.
An 8 by 2 ft. Section of S. Highland on the west side of the steeet next to the storm drain section (near my house at 926 S. Highland) has buckled and crumbled into various sizes of asphalt chunks. If we have a sustained and severe downpour of rain, the water running down the street will carry the chunks into and block the storm drain under my front drive (on city property) and cause flooding. I am 81 and am unable to clear the street myself. May I ask you to inspect the area and possibly remove the debris? Thank you.
Wilton Drive: The pavement has washed away due to the water being directed from Arden Hills into our neighborhood. Please advise when our street will be re-paved.
Several potholes along Woodstock street and intersection of Woodstock and High Street. Water, debris, and dirt collection is excessive.
Water coming up from under street at the corner or 15th and North Fairview has caused 3' deep holes.
