    125 Earl Street Huntsville, Alabama - Huntsville
    Re: Issue ID: 4576175 Submitted this week on 6/18/18 and reported to me as closed by your "SeeClickFix" system yesterday was not fully addressed. The original report was as follows: "There are 2 potholes in front of the Boys and Girls Club located at 125 Earl Street, 35805 that have been there for a very long time. The most obvious and potentially damaging is in the center of Earl St. approx. 45 feet North of the fire hydrant that is located on the East Side of Earl In front of the B&G Club. The second pothole that has been there for years now is on the East edge of Earl Street approx. 15 feet South of the same fire hydrant. It looks pretty benign compared to the one in the middle of the road but if a wheel runs over it, the hole is notably deep and potentially could lead to an accident, loss of control or other damage. I'm not sure the image loaded properly but these holes would be impossible to miss. Thanks for your attention to this matter." The newer pothole(s) in the center and West edge of Earl St. were addressed (very quickly I might add) but the oldest and more dangerously hidden pothole that I described on the East side of Earl Street didn't seemed to have been touched at all. At the risk of losing some or all of my Civic Points, I suggest reopening the previous ticket until it is fully resolved or a proper follow up to this ticket near term as the remaining issue that I've already clearly outlined is potentially even more dangerous, since it is not so obvious to the unsuspecting driver or pedestrian (both of which regularly pass this hazard). For clarity this is the pothole on the East side of Earl St right on the edge of the road surface. I believe it was created some years ago by some small excavation the was not properly put back in a safe (or its previous) condition. So, it's on the Boys and Girls side of Earl street effectively at the edge of their front yard at ta point where it borders the road surface. It's city owned property any way you look at it and as such would fall under the City of Huntsville's responsibility to maintain or otherwise remedy. Thanks you for addressing the other parts of the Issue ID: 4576175. Now let's complete that request (or this) and avoid someone getting hurt. From all appearances, there are still a good number of drunk or otherwise impaired people that like to pass down this street at all hours of the night who would likely love to live an upgraded existence after winning a lawsuit over a good broken ankle or leg after finding this little goldmine on a dimly lit street, but those are issues best reserved for another Issue ID.
