Gravel in the road
Gravel in the road
The street appears to be sinking; almost as tho a sink hole is slowly developing along an under the street water main to a manhole cover in the middle of the intersection. We now have to drive around this spot in order not to damage our cars.
I’m sure you love getting these. I’ve had a small trench on the side of the road on the University Road side of my house. It’s been there for a while. Recently, a water line broke or something similar happened requiring the city to move a fire hydrant to the city easement in that part near my yard. The trench has gotten bigger, and with the new construction, it has exposed dirt that will further wash out. I think you’ll want to add a lot of gravel to cover that trench and the construction spot for the hydrant. A new storm drain may be a long term solution. Anyway, if you can add a lot of gravel or similar (grass?), I won’t even complain about the damage to my lawn or even the lawn damage from Hoosier Fiber from last year.
The manhole covers on 3rd Street near the bike lane between Woodlawn and Indiana have sunken in, causing large dips in the roadway.
Potholes and gravel debris are making it very dangerous for bikes to turn left as they have to cross into the auto lane. It is on a downhill, watching for auto traffic, avoiding potholes, and the gravel from degraded road can roll under tires reducing grip. Thanks for your attention!!
Pothole at traffic light utility access on east side of the west bound lane on Winslow adjacent to stop line. Asphalt surrounding the concrete access point is missing
There's a deep hole next to a storm drain on the south side of E Rock Creek where it meets S Wexley Rd (photo wouldn't load)
Culvert is clogged and needs to be cleaned out for better draining
The asphalt has collapsed next to the sewer drain and water is flowing into the sewer through the hole, eroding the area under it. (This is the second drain in this neighborhood I have reported for the same issue. It seems the contractor might have used less-than-standard practices in preparing the street drains here.)
Lots of grit and gravel in the road
