Sinking drain grate causing car-wrecking sinkhole.

Large steel plates have been covering a hole in the street for over 4months. This has been a major safety issue with cars driving over them. The plates will be a bigger problem with snow and ice. These plates need to be removed and the street under it paved

catch basin has collapsed

Was told this was closed and fixed on my previous post. That was false. Nothing was done. Cover that was previously over this hole for almost 1 year is now off of it and sitting in the middle over the street over nothing. This is huge and open for anyone to fall in. So why it would be listed as solved and closed is beyond me. It's on martin Luther king blvd and jeffreys freeway.

There is a sewage drain that was already not properly working due to the back up of mud and caused alley to flood and made a pothole.During the end of the summer the city of Detroit workers came out to put gravel on top of the drain due to the pothole around it. We told them there was a drain under all the mud. They stated to resolve the issue they had to put gravel on the pothole to make it an even surface. Now that with a little rain the alley gets flooded behind our house and water goes into our yard.
