While we are in this part of the neighborhood--I wonder if anybody else has noticed the manhole cover at the eastern (48th) street end of, I think, Warrington--but maybe it is the next street north. It is marked KT--which is either a foundry mark or "telephone"??-and is in the street at the intersection. It is cracking badly, and looks to me as though a truck or something heavy might well break it the rest of the way--and leave basically an open hole.
I noticed this as I made my way home on Thursday, walking in the bike lane as I often do because I trip over the cracks in the sidewalk.... Anyway, I made a note to myself to try to figure out how to bring this to the attention of the streets department, but maybe someone else reading this is a) closer to the situation, and or b) knows what number to call! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Ellingsworth Sent: Friday, September 14, 2007 4:00 PM To: Cindy Miller Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [UC] tree down I have a tree in my backyard that I would gladly allow someone to just chop down for any reason they could think of ...
