MSI Mini truck is leaking oil on park paths
This yard frequently has trash other debris in the yard, tall grass and low-hanging untrimmed tree limbs that are unsightly and maybe dangerous for neighbors and passersby. They also leave the trash cans lying in the yard or on the sidewalk all week long.
Yard unkept and not mowed. Shrubbery blocking sidewalks. This guy only cuts grass maybe 3-4 times a year, most likely after city notices.
Sidewalk upheaval by tree roots up to 5 inches. Leans at a sideways angle. Approximately a 6 foot long section
Large pothole in alley behind 857 S Morton Street
Excessive water from drainage creek has engulfed vehicles and properties caused by improper size culvert and drainage path South of address.
The new bus stop on Henderson St by Brandon Ct is full of trash.
Road deteriorating in this area of Rockport Rd/Guy Ave, there are several large potholes getting bigger by each rainy day. Long term, this area has really bad drainage, with many of the storm drains above the level of the road so water runs right around them and collects further south in a dangerously large puddle, in the vicinity of 2225 S Rockport road.
Excessive growth
Serious flash flooding in our neighborhood last night. At least 7 residential lots were affected on W Allen (6 north side of the street, 1 south side) directly west of the drainage creek that runs alongside Patterson. This has been an issue for several years, but is happening with increased frequency and severity. I've owned my house since 2012 and experienced 1 instance through 2019. Since then we've had floods covering much of my front yard at least twice a year. Last night was the 3rd instance this year and the worst I've seen. Water level reached my knees while on the sidewalk. Earlier this year, one neighbor's car was totaled due to flooding. Another had water rise up above floor level in their house a couple years ago. Previous attempts to clear brush, debris, and small blockages in the creek have had no impact. Rain garden bump outs were installed on Allen. They seem to have no impact as they run east up Allen whereas the source of flooding is the creek to the west. Utilities staff working on our block in the past have suggested culverts were too small to handle water flow. Reading the 2022 stormwater master plan, I wonder if installing a detention pond nearby might help. Instead of attaching photos, here's a video link taken at the peak of flooding last night: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/q84v292p5nk4e2a6dnqo4/Video-Jun-29-2025-9-46-38-PM.mov?rlkey=aouaax4cfgu6nnr8pvieuterj&st=o88w184x&dl=0
