This is at the end of an alley that gets a lot of use (entrance to Scripps Park and Rose Memorial Dog Park). It is a hazard. I hope it can be addressed soon. Thank you!

Yes, please help us fix it. Thanks

City came out and put a barricade over the hole a week ago. No activity since. Is there a plan to fix this? Hole appears to travel laterally across the entry to our alley. This does not seem safe for vehicles driving over it.

@City of Detroit, is it fair to assume at this point that there are no immediate plans to do anything about this? Perhaps we could help somehow? Would it be useful/beneficial for us to fill the hole with concrete or sand?

Hello City of Detroit. It has been 4.5 months since I posted this. Can you please confirm if you have any plans to repair this? If so, when? The hole is expanding and we will lose access to our alley/garage soon

Also, your sign broke a leg

Only a matter of time until I slip into this and am never seen again.

I pass this every day on my way to the park with my toddler. It's really scary - he could so easily fall into it. This is right by a park!!

Here is a video of the hole so you can see how weak the ground is around it.

Reigniting this thread. City came out and began to fix it several weeks ago, though it has been rotting on the vine since April 6th. An old man tripped over it yesterday and my wife has been complaining that when it fills with water the rats swim in it. And when the rats swim in it she can't get the cat to come inside. As I write this there is an elderly woman in a wheelchair trying to escape from its concave clutches.
When our friends from Livonia come by they say things like "hmmmph," and look at us as if we are people who do not finish the things which we have started. Then I sit back and reflect on my life and realize that there are so many works started.... but left unfinished. And so here I am, on the eve of my fortieth birthday; nearly one year past my initial posting of this scar on our fair streets. An old arthritic grey bearded man drinking tea and eating organic cookies from Whole Foods, pleading with my civic leaders to finish that which they have begun so I can park my prius in our carriage house which I cleaned 3 weeks ago in anticipation of fresh pavement. And so to you I say, "hmmmph," and raise an eyebrow signaling that I know that you know that I know that you are a public works department which does not finish the things which it has started.

Please pave the street.

Are there any pictures of the swimming rats? Or the current state of the sinkhole?

Current state is dry, therefore to amphibious rodents to report. The sinkhole is fixed, but the repair has been sitting unfinished for several weeks with no visit from city workers. They need to lay the final layer of pavement still.
