There is a tree falling down on in front of 312-314 South Henderson St. that seems to have hit an electrical pole. If it were to fall any further it would be blocking the street.
Just wondering if the city plans to finish the job at Maxwell and Mitchell. It's been all torn up for months and seems to have been forgotten.
2 AMI Roofing signs on Moores Pike : on a utility pole near the intersection with Clarizz Blvd; and in the grass across from a corn field near E Wingfield
West 3rd and Curry Pike. Light flashing red all directions.
The pedestrian walk signal on the north side of Kinser and the bypass has been smashed. Since the signal can't be activated, the green light is too short for a pedestrian to cross the bypass from the north side before the light changes. Given that many people cross there going from the Kroger carrying groceries, this is a hazard.
There is a rainwater drainage ditch and large drain between our yard and our neighbors. During the last few heavy rainstorms, the drain at the end of the ditch stopped draining water, resulting in flooding our yard as well as our neighbors to the south and east. The flooding was at least 3-4 feet deep and spilled into the swale at the side of our house, coming close to our basement windows. We do not know if the drain was backed up, clogged with debris or what happened. However, upon checking the drain today with a landscaper, the drain is filled with water almost to the top....and we have not had recent heavy rain in the last few days. Could someone come to check the drain to see if it needs to be opened / cleaned out or if there is some sort of shut-off valve inside that is not operating and allowing water to drain? I am concerned if we get another heavy downpour that water already standing in this drain will result in major flooding again. We have called the street department about this issue twice, and I understand there is some history with drainage problems in this area of Hyde Park.
301 and 304 Hopewell. 301 has junk and trash on porch and in yard. 304 has the usual junk mess all over their property, air conditioner and other appliances in a stack by the junk trailer. Please change the laws don’t just tell them to put a tarp over it. This problem causes anxiety and stress, please fix it.
My child just started school at Arlington Heights Elementary. After I pick him up I have to turn left onto highway 46, which is nearly impossible and feels very dangerous. That intersection needs a light or the elementary school needs to connect the back parking lot with the front so parents can safely exit the school. Thank you.
