Hi Laura,

Thanks for pointing this out. As LCI said, it could be a problem with the drain or with grading. Foster Street has similar problems that haven't been taken care of for years. If elected your alderperson, I plan to focus on these quality of life issues. The election is November 3rd. I hope folks get out there to vote and then we can start to take care of these neighborhood issues.

Laura,

Can you give more information on the specific spot (in front of which house, how often it happens, etc.) Thanks.

This continues to be a problem. I made a call today to Engineering and left a message about the problem. Hopefully, someone gets back to me or the problem stops! I'm tired of leaping across a lake in the mornings. :)

Hi Laura,

Thanks for keeping on top of this. I just sent an email to public works about the issue. They dealt with a similar problem on Foster Street by putting some blacktop down. Depending on the grades, it could be complicated or it could be easy. I'll let you know what they say and sorry for the delay on getting this fixed.

Thanks.

This still remains a problem and has me worried for winter. During the heavy rains recently, I was grateful I parked my car on the other side of the street so that it wasn't under water when this puddle rose! When it's dry out (although, I know there's water there today) you can see teh water line of debris for how far up the street and sidewalk it goes.

I would just like to know if the town has looked at it. It seems like there should be a drain somewhere.

UPDATE! After two years, I'm proud to report that crews showed up (the day before my birthday; how did they know?) and milled the street. This morning they were out there cleaning leaves and with a steam roller. Hopefully, it will be paved when I get home tonight! I felt a little bad for the guys, though. They were held up by someone who didn't read the VERY clear signs and park in the unpaved road section.

I think it's been solved with the new paving! yay! Thank you everyone! Especially, my alderman, Justin Elicker, for staying on top of it.

It's been resolved/solved/FIXED!
