Culvert is clogged and needs to be cleaned out for better draining
Rain runoff from city street caused my basement to flood (again for the 3rd time) and my neighbors basement to flood again.
Culvert is clogged and needs to be cleaned out for better draining
There is no drainage for the alley between Fess and Henderson in the 800 block and it continues to flood and make the alley impassable. This has been ongoing for years. Neighbors back yards flood from the lack of proper drainage.
There are two pipes that run under the railroad tracks, opposite the B-Line trail at lamppost 157, that are part of the stormwater drainage system for the surrounding neighborhoods. They both appear to be almost completely blocked up, effectively creating a stagnant pond on the north side of the tracks. I tried clearing debris from around the mouth with a rake, but I believe the blockages are deeper inside the pipes. It would be good if this could get cleaned out before mosquito breeding season begins. It might also be a good idea to install a grate to prevent larger debris from getting lodged inside these pipes in the future. Thanks!
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)
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!!
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.
