There are a few deep potholes right at the entrance to Hoosier Court. They are located along the street. The property management company said they do not own that area. It is right on the property line.
Large pothole on north-bound Walnut north of bypass just beyond McD's - wide and deep enough to do some damage to an axle, given the rate of speed vehicles are usually traveling on that stretch.
On a whim, I decided to watch the 2/25/25 BPW meeting on CATS this morning. I was very disappointed to hear the casualness that the closed sidewalk on Lincoln was handled. Whether it is contiguous or not, it is still one of the only options of refuge for a pedestrian to walk with relative safety. The impression I got from the city staff is that it is expected and welcomed for pedestrians to just use the road. I understand that construction needs to happen, I just hope that in the future pedestrian considerations are treated with more care even if it is a small section! This is a long enough project (June 2027!) that I hope staff can look and see if other options are available.
Fiber-optic people bored a hole through the street, then filled it up with gravel instead of asphalt. Now, the gravel has washed away and there is a hole that someone could step in and trip. It is close to the scooter corral on the SW corner of Grant/Cottage Grove.
Caller to HAND reported that the metal drain covering on the sidewalk is sticking up and loose. It is very sharp and is in an area that is high-traffic for walkers.
