There is also damage near the top of the hill of 118 N. Revena. The surveyors used private property to obtain access to the easement at the bottom of the ravine for survey work. This was promised to be fixed right away by the City and it has not been done. This neglect engangers the 75 foot fir trees that were placed on the hill by the original owners in 1953. The roots of the trees are exposed as the soil and mulch were stripped. The area is not large, but it is significant. This work was promised to be done right away, before decisions being made and work being done on the Allen Creek drainage problem caused by the DTE pole.

Are the problems of sink holes on Wildwood related to the blockage of the Allen Creek drainage system by the DTE pole at N. Revena. There is also serious sinkage of a sewer access lid at N. Revena just South of the Linwood intersection. That is in line with the sink hole on Wildwood that was "repaired" the summer after the May 13, 2014 storm. The new sinkhole involves a sidewalk in line with the Allen Creek drainage system. DTE has the responsibility to move this pole they put up in the drainage pipe immediately following the May 13, 2014 storm. It was pointed out to DTE and to the City that they had done this by the residents adjacent to this area, and nothing was done about it then. Now there is a blockage of the drainage of Allen Creek. Sinkholes and blockages could be related issues.

Two men from the city were just out here, and were very kind to explain a bit about what is happening here on N. Revena with the DTE pole and the sewer line. It is not Allen Creek drainage, but actual sanitary sewer line that is damaged, and they are going to repair it this summer. It sounds like they are planning to be as careful as they can be to the steep hill and the big trees. They will have to do some tree removal, but will try their best to keep it to a minimum. I was happy to talk to them. I interrupted their visit here with my questions, so they were most gracious.
