Description

There are some major flaws with street improvements constructed in hastiness durring the ARRA period. Namely bulbed out curb returns and misplaced garbage bins. The businesses on this corner suffer from inundation due to poor drainage design and quite possibly curb return geometry error. The combination of overflowing garbage, leaves from trees planted and not maintained are just enigmatic of poor planning and execution of public funds. As I've said before, I'll crack the nonconforming grate and break my ankle myself before I get an ambulance chaser to sue the City. The intersection at 3rd ave and E18th looks as if it clearly needs a diagonal scramble to walgreens after curb return bulb out was created. Who was the consultant on this?!, tell me not URS... I'm currently registered Civil Engineer C74457. The trees are overgrown in the local parks as well, children play and ambivalent adults walking dogs stroll under old london plains that are fused to phone poles. Give me a surplus fireman chainsaw and boom truck and I'll do this myself holding City harmless. I recall seeing a professional crew come by some city right of way yet did not notice significant fire abatement. I also recall seeing requisition for arborist on City employment website. How about I just replace your Director of Public Works.
