Lots of deep potholes.
Several potholes at the base of the hill on N Fairview, tendency to flood. Lots of sediment accumulated at the base of the hill.
The small stub of West 10th Street that runs West from Fairview to another short street called Curve Street and runs for one block is a disgusting muddy mess. If you are not going to maintain this street why don't you dig it up and turn it into green space? During the recent rains the City storm water system was so backed up in this location that the entire area completely filled with water (causing water infiltration into the basement of the house I own at 605 North Fairview. The storm sewers are often blocked and the culvert at the bottom of the park is inadequate to handle the water that runs off Ernest Butler Park. The whole situaiton is a mess and largely caused by City mismanagement. Additionally, the City has repeatedly allowed Mr. Goodman to violate City rules and codes and directives and his mess and non-running cars adds to the mix of this mess--once again a case of City mismanagement. This horrible situation has persisted for years. As the owner of 605 N Fairview I am seriously considering hiring an attorney and taking formal legal action against the City for its inattention to its own rules. If the Goodman property were a rental property that I owned I would be getting a complaint notice every other day. Both Matt Murphy (who owns the commercial property which adjoins my house at 605 N Fairview) and I have invested significant money in keeping our properties nice and generally contributing to the uplift of the Near-Westside. Too bad the City is not helping us! My number is 812-322-2050 and I would be interested in hearing if anyone at the City has viewed the situation on this one block section of West 10th Street.
Other: Over the past 4 years, W. 1st street from Walker to edge of Hopewell (near Fairview) was used extensively, often daily, during demolition and construction with heavy equipment and trucks often idling there waiting to move closer to the Hopewell construction area. . As a result that end of the street as well as the curve onto Wylie/Euclid street experienced a lot of wear and tear; periodic potholes, sidewalks closed at times, spray painted utility markings. Are there any plans to pave and repair the street and shoulders that are technically in McDoel Gardens? It definitely would show a measure of goodwill for all that the near neighbors and businesses have experienced as Hopewell emerges. W. 1st towards Rogers and onward looks great with paving, new sidewalks and street lamps.
