A large chunk of the 800 block of South Mildred Street must be replaced. This sinkhole, beside a manhole on our narrow street, is close to collapse.▶Archived
Ticket #1665389. Ticket forwarded to Streets Department for follow-up. Initial complaints will be investigated within 24 hours when called in before 2PM, and can take up to 3 business days to repair.

This is the second time an employee of the 311 system has closed one of my cases without anything having been done.
Please understand this: Acknowledging an issue does not solve it. Do *not* render a case closed until it has been repaired. Doing otherwise only angers residents.
That's the very sink hole that I fractured my foot in last February (2010). Jack and I were coming home from having dined out and I didn't see it. Though I was quite sober! I stepped into the hole and fell fwd fracturing my 5ht metatarsal. Hurt like hell. Has anyone notified the streets department?
And still nothing, despite this promise: "Initial complaints will be investigated within 24 hours when called in before 2PM, and can take up to 3 business days to repair."
I visited the 311 link that supposedly allows citizens to track their reports. The link, apparently, is gone.
From JP I got an Email from Stephen Lorenz and a crew will be out Wednesday June 1 to address this sink hole. Please report status again tomorrow after repair. Thanks
A crew of three men stopped by on Wednesday. They added asphalt, but I'd hardly call this fixed. The asphalt is unusually chunky and uneven, inviting more sinking once a few cars have driven over it. Leaves, bits of trash and cigarette butts are embedded in it because no effort was made to clear the area before or after.
I appreciate the Streets Department's attention to this damage, but these guys did a second-rate job, and it's not going to last. Why not do it right the first time?
I'm not closing this case until the issue is corrected with decent craftsmanship.
