The stormwater grates at West Fourth and Fairview literally had small bushes growing in the sediment. I cleaned them again today-but why oh why can't these be part of regular maintenance? When they are blocked, which is most of the time, the water gets 6-8 inches deep at the alley near my house. I brought this to council last year when the city voted to raise fees and was promised by the director (Vic?) that this would be remedied. I have yet to see a clean up schedule or to see a worker ever clean these grates or clean the streets. I'm sick of it. There seems to be no dearth of resources for curbs and flower boxes and traffic restriction work. Why can't the city maintain the streets and storm sewers in a systematic fashion? What is the schedule for cleaning?
Weeds are extremely high and there is a lot of ragweed.
Sidewalk blocked by trees etc.
Trash has been left unattended for months at this address. It was placed on curb for pickup this morning (after months left up against side of house), but sanitation workers did not take it — maybe because there was too much of it but it is a nuisance and a hazard at this point.
Clean off clogged storm drain.
Grass is at least 16 inches tall
called into city hall - K.Cummings, AHA inputting this issue -- John stated that he has called several times regarding this issue - there are two storm drains, one directly in front of his residence and another that is across the street that are in need of repair. John advised that the grates are too low, causing them to consistently get debris on them, causing flooding.
Bicycling on Howe, I was struck by the fact that both storm sewer grates appear to be obstructed by yard waste, which will become an issue when we get our spring rains before the thaw. I suspect that this is not an isolated experience.
Bradford pear on the northeast side of the church property that is in the tree platt and listed as a city tree is overgrown and totally surrounds power, cable and phone lines. It needs to be removed. Thanks!!
