The alley across from me (I’m at 1109 S Madison) has uneven pavement which causes many cars to “bottom out.” There is loose gravel in the alley that gets pushed to the bottom of the alley when it rains. It would be so nice to have pavement instead of a chipped pavement/gravel hybrid. Thanks for any direction you can provide!
The stretch of Grant Street between Kirkwood and 8th has multiple places that have been patched multiple times over the last few years, making it really bumpy and uneven. It is especially bad close to where the Poplars used to be. If you have a list of streets you are planning on resurfacing, please include those three blocks. There is not one single place such as a huge pothole that needs a big repair - it's just an area that in general is more like cobblestone than paving. Bumpy for bicycles, and maybe also for cars.
Neighborhood is still waiting on storm removal. Grass is dying or dead from piles so please expedite. Thank you.
The neighbors put together some tree debris by the end of the street
On West Kirkwood and Elm there is roughly an 8 inch deep pothole. Someone on a motorcycle just reported that they almost hit it and crashed.

The north side of 13th Street between Indiana and Fess has an old limestone masonry sidewalk, maybe from the 1950s (?) It is interesting for historic reasons - it looks like it matches the sidewalks that flank Lincoln between 10th and Cottage Grove - but parts of it have degraded to a point that it is now a bit awkward to walk on it, especially at night. (It is definitely not ADA-complaint.) Is there an office in town dedicated to historic preservation that could commission a team of masons to redo this sidewalk? There is a concrete sidewalk just east of this block that appears to match the pattern, but it is poured concrete with pattern-pressed and actually looks a little comical, as if it is trying to be something that it is not. Also, a side note: there is no sidewalk on the south side of 13th Street in this block. If there were one there (especially ADA-compliant), people could more safely walk from campus to "The Standard" along that street.
