Sewer Problems (Storm Sewers)
704 E 1st ST

Today and always when there's been heavy rain over the last years, 1st Street floods in our stretch, because there's no drain in the block between Stull and Fess Ave. where we are. At our house, the water hits the curb of the alley in such a way that the entire grass patch and side way is flooded, making it dangerous to walk on the side way. I'm attaching a picture of now, when the rain has already become more steady. I can provide a number of short videos we've taken over the years to document the problem. Please, consider installing a drain or let us know what can be done about this. It is dangerous for us, our toddler son and our visitors. Thank you!
Sewer Problems (Storm Sewers)

All the storm water runoff from the White Oak Cemetery basin, during very hard rains, cannot be handled by the 4-storm drains near the intersection of 7th and Oak Streets. The excess is diverted through the gravel parking of our neighbor at 1025 W 7th, washing the gravel onto the street. The storm water then turns and washes through the alley between 6th & 7th Streets. It then goes through our carport and yard washing our mulch away in places. Oak street was paved in the past and is higher than the storm drain at 7th and Oak so any excess water has do go through the gravel parking instead of down the street. I would be happy to meet someone to look at this problem. Thanks.

This intersection is missing a stop sign on one side of the crossing. The cross traffic does not have to stop which may result in an accident if someone does not stop.
Potholes, Other Street Repair
- Case Date:

I submitted UReport#202323 and received a response that the case was closed about the removal of broken pavement that I had removed from Sussex Dr and Queensway between High St and Monclair that potentially would be washed into the storm drains that the case was closed. I realize that this a busy time for the city crews responding to pothole issues. However several weeks have gone by and the pile of broken pavement is still at the base of my driveway at 2305 Sussex Dr. Hopefully a crew will get to this soon.

Residents at this house have left beer cans and solo cups scattered in the yard among other trash. It’s been blowing away into the alley ways. On top of that as well, they have an improperly stored trash bin in the road which has been tipped over and is actively spilling into the road. They also put up caution tape around their yard which has come loose and has also blown into the road as well. All of this is in their back yard which is facing me. I live at 415 S Grant St. I would really appreciate if someone came out to check it out and either clean it up or tell the residence to clean it up, I really care about the local environment and I’ve noticed small animals eating out of the garbage.

The front porch rails are broken out, the rails appear to be unstable, sagging and possibly rotted. The porch sets up high above grade where the porch rails are out. There is a young child living in the house. This presents a danger. Jeff Jones/Pendragon owns this property. This has been the case for the past 2+ years. This family is a new renter and this was not repaired between renters.
