Description

This area of Loomis St (amongst all others) has been a nuisance that has been reported to the city for years. Inadequate draining and failed attempts to correct it have allowed water to flow into the road and erode the entire street, especially the section between Janis and Whitaker. This winter, there have been times that water will seep in to the road during the day and then freeze up overnight. At one point there was over six inches of ice covering half the roadway. In the spring, summer and fall the road is just patched and continues to erode. The entire street is in disarray due to poor drainage. Seeing how the average tax payer on this street pays well above the average rate for the city, and 1/4 of the street doesnt even get 1/4 of the services provided by the city (sewage, water, natural gas etc) it is sickening that we also have a road that is becoming barely passable. On top of the street carving in from beneath us, the bridge is crumbling as it is evident when you look from beneath it. Please address the drainage issue and not put a wet band aid on it that will fix it for a week.
