Construction workers from the path project here along Montclair near Southeast Park entrance left lots of debris behind along the sidewalk. They're long gone and didn't attempt to clean any of this up.
There are lots of asphalt chunks in the gutter that interfere with keeping the storm drains unclogged.
Townsend, Inc recently cut trees/shrubbery along the west side of High St, under the power lines. They left huge chunks of logs scattered willy nilly all over the side of the road, and it looks absolutely terrible. Many of the logs are up against the fences of the homes backing up to High St., and could become a source of termites, as well as shelter for wildlife that could cause problems by running into the street. I’ve reported multiple dead deer on this stretch of road, hate to have to report more. Please make Townsend or the utility companies rectify this eyesore? Thanks so much.
Tree trimming occurred along High Street a few weeks ago. Some of the debris was removed by the company contracted to do the trimming but much more was left behind. Will further clean-up be done?
I am a storm drain volunteer for the Utility Department for Sussex Drive and Queensway from High St to Montclair and have been tracking broken asphalt pavement that might enter or block the storm drains and storm sewers by collecting broken pavement. I have collected a second load of broken pavement that is on the east/mail box side of my driveway at 2305 Sussex Dr. The pile weighs about 134 ponds could a City Street crew pick up the pile for recycling and reuse?
I have been collecting broken asphalt pavement from Sussex Dr, and from High St to Montclair along Queensway as an experiment for the Utility Department on reducing storm drain blockage on streets with significant slopes. I weighed the amount of debris collected since the start of the freeze-thaw cycle and the new pile is just short of 310 pounds on the east side of my driveway. Could this debris be picked up by a city crew for recycling?
I have been volunteering with the Utility Department keeping storm drains clear. Since fall I have been also removing broken asphalt pavement from Queensway to Montclair and from Sussex Dr to Montclair as an experiment to reduce pavement debris from obstructing storm drains. Once again I have accumulated enough debris for a crew to remove it for reuse in new pavement. I estimate there is about 150 pounds of material that I have now placed at the southeast end of our driveway. Thank you. Don Eggert
Large tree trunk in Jackson Creek. Another big chunk about to go down. Potential issue with flooding.
2225 S High St hasn't been mowed all year
This location has a lawn that has gone un-mowed and the grass currently exceeds 8 inches (front yard was recently mowed, backyard was not). In the backyard, a deer and two fawn have taken up residence, which is disturbing and dangerous to neighborhood pets.
