Description

This project to “fix” the intersection and corners where Adeline, Market, Aileen, and 57th all come together was a good idea in theory. The first problem is that it took forever and still appears to be incomplete. If it is actually finished then can you have the contractor or a city crew come back and remove the big orange constuction zone signs. I would specifically appreciate removing the one the is directly in front of my house on Adeline Street and that the sidewalk is fixed when it is removed.

Second is that now it is completed it has created two large areas where water collects on both Adeline and Market street because of the slope of the street and the fact that there is no sewer opening at the low point on either sides of the street. Fortunately it hasn’t been a dry wet season so far, but in only one storm it created standing water that was overtaking the sidewalk and will eventually go into the yards of the house on the corner. On the Adeline side of the street there is still a pile of gravel, who knows what that is for.

So not only did it take forever to complete, but it was a terribly executed job and has created more problems then it was supposed to correct.

Please let me know what is going to be done about it.
