Cleaned the curbfront this weekend. Now, water is pooling on the sidewalk and the ground is like a sponge. This is going to be a major mess when it freezes.

Broken_main? Any help is appreciated! 2541 Field, if it helps.

Eric, good luck.

I dealt with that on my side a few years ago, it took them a few days to get to it. I had water shooting through the cracks in the sidewalk.

Yeah, I couldn't get through on the phone, so I posted here and Broken_main got an initial evaluation crew to come out, but other than a barricade "marker" nothing else has happened. Now it's worse.

a car-swallowing hole is the next logical step. There may be a response after that.

Eric_c,

Park something there that you can claim sentimental value...might be able to score a wee nest egg that you can use for the Fields purchase.

Gotta stay a step or so ahead...

Eric_c, I just spoke with someone in maintenance and repair. It appears that they seem to be "backlogged". In my honest opinion I think its a bunch of BS the way that the administration is treating these important issues.

I will call it in again and tell them that we are dealing with a major slip and fall issue. To be perfectly honest, i am always questioning why the city can gather all of these "volunteers" for devils and pay them but they won't allow for overtime for these same employees to get the work done for the people. Due to the fact that I have been recently disciplined for some of my actions, i feel I need to nix this discussion right now. I will however forward this complaint once again to maintenance and repair. I suggest that you all do the same at 267-7401 or 02.

I am with you all the way
