Small Tree down after June 18 thunderstorm. Was moved out of the road but is lying on city easement. Located on the southwest corner of E. Maxwell Ln and Manor Dr.
Hi. This area of Maxwell lane needs to be built up a bit higher to help rainwater drain off into the grass. This spot retains water for many days after even a moderate rain. People like to park on the grass which is fair since it’s on the city’s right of way, but it looks bad, splashes pedestrians and bicycles and I think could be improved with a minimal amount of work. The edge of the road just needs a bit of building up so water drains properly. Thanks. Fred Pavalko
Lots of shallow potholes. One more is west of this picture and is the deepest.
The north side of 13th Street between Indiana and Fess has an old limestone masonry sidewalk, maybe from the 1950s (?) It is interesting for historic reasons - it looks like it matches the sidewalks that flank Lincoln between 10th and Cottage Grove - but parts of it have degraded to a point that it is now a bit awkward to walk on it, especially at night. (It is definitely not ADA-complaint.) Is there an office in town dedicated to historic preservation that could commission a team of masons to redo this sidewalk? There is a concrete sidewalk just east of this block that appears to match the pattern, but it is poured concrete with pattern-pressed and actually looks a little comical, as if it is trying to be something that it is not. Also, a side note: there is no sidewalk on the south side of 13th Street in this block. If there were one there (especially ADA-compliant), people could more safely walk from campus to "The Standard" along that street.
Fire hydrant on western edge of Bryan Park is leaking.

A new sidewalk in this area was installed, but the road doesn't seem to be finished. There are huge potholes and it is unsafe for bikes, pedestrians, and vehicles.

Street light at 6th between elm and oak is out.
At 1002 or 1006 E. First not far from Woodlawn. Last Monday the 7th therewas a bigger pile of trash in the driveway/sidewalk. A smaller pile today the 14th, but some at least seems to have been there on the 7th. It might be a rental property. I dont know policy on this, but it seems the rental company should be fined / charged for special collection of improperly left trash. Then they can pass it on to their tenants.
