Drainage pipes that run under the railroad tracks are blocked up again. I cleared as much as I could from the inflows but I can see more material lodged inside. Hope we can get a grate installed at some point to prevent future blockages. Opposite the B-Line trail at lamppost 157. Thanks!
Sinkhole next to curb. Broke as I stepped off the curb and my leg was swallowed. Rolled my ankle, scraped my leg. Please see to it that the hole is filled asap, it's a saftey hazard.
Pipe has burst outside of the building and is spewing sewage everywhere.
There is some loose gravel at our intersection where N Dunn meets E Saville. Not a lot but when I mowed my yard, I noticed it just a bit ago.
A large hole has developed next to a drainage grate in this alleyway and is continuing to deteriorate. This alley b/w Rogers and Madison (North/South) and 3rd/4th (East/West) is frequented by both area residents and employees at adjacent businesses.
Just a suggestion for the next time any work is planned for Grant Street: At the intersections with both 8th and 9th streets, there are some storm sewer grates alongside the road that are too accessible, in that their design is completely open, with only a single metal bar across the openings. This allows animals and large pieces of trash to flow into the storm sewers. All the other grates in the neighborhood are more enclosed and safer. Might be good to switch these old ones out with ones that are similar to all the others and safer. Even a very small child might be able to fit into a couple of them, because the cross-bar on some of them is bent so much.
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!
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.
