Newly installed fencing is trashed pallets. What a bummer. This should not be allowed in the name of sustainability or reclaimed goods! This is an owner-occupied neighborhood with residents that have been living here for decades. They're the pillars of Broadview. New owners moved in and regardless of good intent, have immediately turned this upside down.
The storm pipe/drain does not appear to have sufficient capacity to handle flash flood events. Storm water from the neighborhood overflowed from the street, and then flowed across the neighbor's driveway and down the slope into our property, flooding our crawl space. Last night there was literally a small river of water running aside and into our house, moving so fast that I could not safely walk outside until the rain subsided. We need an engineer to evaluate the current drainage system, in particular the capacity of the storm pipe and culvert that runs directly between our property and the neighbor's. We can make some mitigating improvements on our own property, but we really are not equipped to handle the sheer volume of stormwater from the entire neighborhood during very heavy periods of rain like we saw last night. I took some videos during the flood that we can send as well.
Overflow from drainage ditch running along Patterson. This if from 722 W Allen St, 4 houses down from the creek/ditch. It’s probably clogged or blocked, not allowing proper drainage. 2nd time it’s gotten this bad this spring. Has never been anywhere near this in the previous 5 years.
I’m wondering if there’s a map of farmer’s market vendors? I found a blank map, and a list, but not the two together. Thanks!
College Mall Road: Light blue and white sign for Limestone right at the edge of the parking lot, in front of CVS.
The water at Ferguson dog park has been shut off. This is a pretty big problem because dog owners have been taking their dogs here to exercise them expecting that the water will be on to hydrate their dogs. There's no sign or explanation about why the water is off or when it will be back on.
1600 block of E First Street: pothole at one of the speedbumps
There are two vehicles that are routinely parked the wrong way on W. 6th Street. This has been going on for months. Both are on the wrong side of the street facing west. One is a white pickup truck which is always parked in front of 927 W 6th. The other is a dark colored Ford parked 3-4 nights a week in front of the apartment house at 6th and Fairview. I live on this street and neither driver seems to have any mobility issues that would make it hard for them limit to walk a few extra feet.
305 7th Street. Meter is messed up.
The overgrowth onto the trail here at the B-Line / Rail Trail and Country Club Road parking is a serious issue. It is heavily obscuring the right of way on the sidewalk. This evening, with this pickup truck and its shin-buster hitch backed up, the trail was just about impassable on a bicycle. Can this get cleaned up??? I know this has been reported multiple times before and no work has been done to clean up the overgrowth.
