Description
Three houses in this one-block stretch have had their old clay sewer pipes replaced and the road is a mess because of uneven pavement from being dug up. Last winter it was difficult to plow ... this winter it is certain to be worse. Plus the area in front of one house floods so badly with bad rain and melting snow that the owners have to lay plywood down to get from the street to their front steps. PLEASE fix this street!!!

I am the person in the house with the floods and can tell you this street has gotten really bad over the years. This past winter has left chunks of blacktop in my grass from the plow coming through. When it rains or snow melts out front I am stepping into at least 4 inches of water to get out of my house. We're paying the taxes here on this street, enough is enough, give us the road we ask for.

And shouldn't the homeowners be compensated for this inconvenience? A tax rebate would be nice.

The rest of Greenkill Avenue seems to be getting repaired ... why isn't this section? Oh ... I know why. Because it isn't the MAIN part of Greenkill Avenue - it's only the "service road" next to it and who cares about the residents who aren't plowed by the City, who aren't paved by the City, who aren't given a thought by the City. As long as Kingston keeps taking tax money and not doing anything for that money (except garbage collection), who cares?? Let the little people suffer with flooding and mud and slippery sand over the uneven, trench-laden street.
But when someone drops their motorcycle or falls because of uneven pavement (if you can even call it that!) the City better watch out because there WILL be a lawsuit.

The area in front of 108 Greenkill has been fixed.
