All city storm inlets in the Rosewood at Hyde Park neighborhood need to be cleaned.
All city storm inlets in the Rosewood at Hyde Park neighborhood need to be cleaned.
Some kind of pipe (I believe it is an old storm sewer) that runs along Woodburn Avenue north of 17th street is caving in. There is a deep hole in the yard of 1401 N. Woodburn, which I fell in on Saturday. There have been similar holes in the yards of adjacent properties, which the property owners have filled in, but it is clear that new holes are starting to open up along this stretch of Woodburn, which will create more hazards for the pedestrians who walk along there.
This sinkhole has been a problem for almost a year. The water dept referred it to sewer in the early Spring but no action has been taken and it is getting worse.
Strong odor coming from the ditch/stream behind our house and along the B Line Trail.
The storm water drain/inlet in front of our house isn't able to handle to load of rain and debris which runs to it. This morning at 4 am our basement dampness alarm went off and had to go clear the street drains as all the water was running down our driveway from the three storm water drains in front of our house (1 is across the street). We installed a swale two years ago to divert the flow of water for our driveway but it isn't large enough to handle the load of water runoff from the drain inlets in front of our house flowing down our driveway. I attached a picture from this morning after I was out at 4 am cleaning the drains with it clogged again to show the issues. I apologiz I didn't take a picture across the street but if you run by today (11/27) you can see it also is already re-clogged. Any time we have a large downpour I have to clean out the drains or we have flooding in our driveway which backs up at the mouth of the swale then flows into our garage then house. Please HELP!
Citizen stated that the sidewalk between Walnut & College is a mess on the south side near grey apartment houses. She is not sure if they are considered historic or not.
Citizen stated via email that on West 3rd Street where it "T"s with South Jackson Street a brick sidewalk joins concrete, and there is a big ridge that she tripped over.
Sidewalk is completely blocked from downed tree since October 21st.
There are three curbs that I think should be painted yellow so cyclists (and cars) don't run over them: 1) 108 W 4th St. in front of WFHB station there is a very low curb that is easy to miss as a cyclist 2) 200 E 4th St there are two brand new curbs / bump outs for the Fifth-Third bank parking entrance. I'm glad they are there but if they were yellow they'd be easier to see, especially at night. Thank you, Jaclyn
Sidewalk is impassable when it rains.
