open #204935

Potholes, Other Street Repair:

Other: I had sent in a request on 5/19/25 Case #202787 reporting that Olive Street needs a concrete curb installed. Due to the excessive rainfall this has caused flooding issues for 1502 S. Olive and the house on the corner of Hillside and Olive (1144 E. Hillside Dr.). I was informed that this was on the paving list and there was plans for an asphalt curb. I called on 6/9/25 and spoke to the Engineering dept. (Iris) about installing a concrete curb instead of asphalt. There is already a partial concrete curb that runs past 1502. It needs to have a concrete curb all the way up the hill so that rain will not flood into the driveway and along the house of 1502, plus it runs past the curb into the yard of 1144 E. Hillside causing flooding in the basement. They have a sump pump now, but it's old and could quit at any time. It's already August and there hasn't been any kind of activity on this street. Do you have an estimated date as to when the street will be paved and the curb installed? Also, there is a construction sign in the yard of 1144 E. Hillside that has been there all summer and would like it to be moved. Thank you for any information you can provide!

James, Engineering does not have any plans for the future for a concrete curb, so we are planning on recapping the asphalt curb. This resident has flooding concerns, so I wanted to make you aware of it.

The concrete curb would not be through the Engineering Dept. If there is concern with flooding, CBU would be the direction we would suggest. Thank you.

Neil, We have plans to put in an asphalt curb when we pave, but this person is requesting plans for a concrete curb instead.

The sign is part of our ongoing project in that area and needs to remain for the current time. The curb in question is out of the scope of the project and Engineering has nothing further in this area. Thank you

Jason, I assume this sign is in place because the project is still active, but please take a look. As you know, curb installation is not part of Engineering's project. You can send that request to DPW and/or CBU as appropriate.

Olive St is on our 2025 paving list for this fall. I don't have an exact time frame as it depends on the weather. We have plans to place an asphalt curb. The sign is left from a project through Engineering. I will send this over to Engineering regarding this sign and request for a concrete curb.
