Construction site workers have removed a portion of the dumpster enclosure on the alley, sitting at the NW corner of 325 E. 10th property parking lot. This left a dangerous 6" square hole where a support post had previous been. Not clear if the hole is on private property or in the alley, but it is dangerous now for people or small animals.
There is a crater/sinkhole forming on the alley about 25 paces north of the 10th Street sidewalk. It is close to a 4" steel pipe set vertically in the ground. Would be easy for a small-footed individual to twist an ankle in.
Broken glass in bike lane on northeast side of this street (just past intersection of 4th and Washington, headed westbound).
Painting on side of building is part of signage.
Caller to HAND reported that the metal drain covering on the sidewalk is sticking up and loose. It is very sharp and is in an area that is high-traffic for walkers.
Large pothole on north-bound Walnut north of bypass just beyond McD's - wide and deep enough to do some damage to an axle, given the rate of speed vehicles are usually traveling on that stretch.
Fiber-optic people bored a hole through the street, then filled it up with gravel instead of asphalt. Now, the gravel has washed away and there is a hole that someone could step in and trip. It is close to the scooter corral on the SW corner of Grant/Cottage Grove.
Tenants parking car in alley behind the house (west side of property).
On a whim, I decided to watch the 2/25/25 BPW meeting on CATS this morning. I was very disappointed to hear the casualness that the closed sidewalk on Lincoln was handled. Whether it is contiguous or not, it is still one of the only options of refuge for a pedestrian to walk with relative safety. The impression I got from the city staff is that it is expected and welcomed for pedestrians to just use the road. I understand that construction needs to happen, I just hope that in the future pedestrian considerations are treated with more care even if it is a small section! This is a long enough project (June 2027!) that I hope staff can look and see if other options are available.
