It is extremely hard to see incoming traffic on this street. There is a stop sign for drivers on Lincoln but not for drivers on 2nd street. As you wait in Lincoln for clearance, both tree branches on your left and parked cars on your right make it difficult to see incoming traffic.
There is a tree/shrub along the sidewalk growing low foliage that is blocking the line of site when you are turning left onto 2nd Street from Lincoln Street.
The company that installed this created a hazard that could cause an injury when someone gets out of their car etc. This should be removed and filled or fixed.
Utility cut was beautifully fixed, but the warning sign from last week has collapsed and is now half in the roadway next to the sidewalk.
There is a pothole at the entrance by the sidewalk. The hole was made when the fiber wires were installed back in November. Never fixed. Vehicles scrap when they drove through it.
Is this broadband or sidewalk related? Concrete saws at work all over my neighborhood. That cut and some possibly related cracks running from utility covers to the curb are the first since I had my sidewalk replaced in the mid-1990s. For good reason, I assume.
There is always standing water here on this sidewalk. It was a sheet of ice last month. Is there a water main break? So much water can not use the sidewalk. I do not want to have to walk in the street.
The downspout daylight from either 521 or 523 S. Park has been spilling mud onto the sidewalk for months. At this point, the entire width of the sidewalk is covered by a layer of mud that is dangerous when wet. This mud slick covers part of an accessible curb cut. Both houses are rentals.
I reported this last week for the first time. (Case #200875) I took this new photo this morning, which shows clearly the abundance of water issuing from this drain. I am confident that this is not simply runoff. I dealt with a similar complaint about one month ago lodged against a property I help manage for Chickering Rentals at 620 N College. Turns out, the water was coming from a sink AND a shower inside that house that was connected to a sump pump, and then connect to a downspout extension drain that expelled on the sidewalk. (I identified the issue and the company remedied it the same day it was reported to us.) It appears that the same thing may be happening at 609 S Fess. There is no explanation as to why so much water would be issuing from a downspout drain at 9am this morning when the temps are less than 10, far below freezing. But you can see in the picture the amount of snow the water has covered and had not yet frozen. I’m guessing if you go out now, it may be frozen. It’s only after it has recently been pumping and expelling that it is still liquid. The only explanation from what I can tell is it’s coming from inside the property. Either 605 s fess or 609 s fess. I’m guessing that there is a sink or shower inside the house, connected to a sump pump drain, connected to this drain on the sidewalk. Thanks for your help and attention to this.
My wife and I live nearby and pass by this area on our walk to Bryan park. For well over a year, I have noticed this section of the sidewalk between 609 S Fess and 605 S Fess is consistently wet, even when there has been no rain/snow. When the temps fall and stay below freezing, ice accumulates on this area of the sidewalk, as it is doing right now. I am convinced that there is either a natural spring, or a sump pump inside either 605 or 609 S Fess that is connected to a storm water run off drain that expels on the sidewalk. The water is issuing from three slit holes at the bottom of the brick wall outside of 609 S Fess, where that brick wall terminates and meets the limestone wall for 605 S Fess. 609 S Fess is managed by Sarge Rentals. 605 S Fess is managed by Wininger Real Estate.
