3/15/2013 - Still not repaired. Hey, John Hamelin, I now know that it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY for the roads. You were the one who came out to look at this issue years ago when it first began. Well, it's about 7 years later now and still nothing has been done. DO SOMETHING besides a shovel full of cold patch!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is a broken storm drain pipe that has caused the road to sink and the storm drain hardly drains at all. After years of it being this way, the area was finally marked out by Call Before You Dig early this spring. I think this job has been forgotten about. The Water Dept has previously tried to unclog the pipe by using the "torpedo", but it got stuck and they had to cut the hose, so it's still under the road. Years ago, it was recommended that this single drain should be replaced with a double because it only takes 1 year for it to fill up with sand and other debris. and the next nearest drain is uphill at the intersection of Valley View. Can we please get this issue resolved? It only took a week for the sinkhole on Lydale Place to be repaired.

This is not the first time, Howard W. came out once before and talked to us-he specifically said the city should not be on private property, so then why has, what looks to be 3 to 4 payloaders worth of snow, been dumped on my property? Part of my parking area was also damaged. I see Larry is here addressing others concerns. Please addres this issue-how can I possibly stay off the street when the city has dumped snow in my off street parking area? And when can the city come and remove this? (Picture shows my car partially on sidewalk as a result of snow being dumped)

Some commercial contractor has dumped a truckload of roofing shingles beside the brook near Platt highschool, and CL&P, in the process of replacing utility poles, has deposited two old poles conveniently in the brook at the old bridge by the tennis courts.

The current owner, Jessica Stanton, should be held accountable for the appearance and cleanup of this property. Overgrown lawn, bushes, weeds; trash overflowing from their garage into the yard, etc. This has been a problem property for a number of years. City management, please have this property cleaned up - it is another of the neighborhood eyesores.

lots of garbage under I-91 bridge on Baldwin Av.Also lots of pot holes on Baldwin between Orchid Rd.Thanks

There's lots of garbage under the bridge again.
Thanks

I have noticed a lot of garbage around the city, especially near many of the entrance and exit ramps, such as the one on E. Main St. from the WCP and also the one from W. Main St. to 691. In addition I often see a lot near the corner of Broad St. and E. Main St. in the gravel parking lot.

it looks like but i'm not sure that a street sweeper swept the road but dumped the leaves back in the road in a couple places.if the city has time it would be nice to sweep the street sinceall 5 storm drains are clogged

The playground yesterday was disgusting with garbage overflowing from cans..bottles and trash near the swings and slides.

It was forecast to be a beautiful weekend and yet not a Parks & Rec employee to be found!

Please clean the park.
If the job is too hard there are plenty of people that would love to have it!

Garbage pails are left on sidewalk all the time at and not taken in after garbage is picked up at 118 Gale Ave. Makes street look like slum.

Lots of garbage and litter under I-691 bridge. Thank you.

the new tenant on the first floor dumped his junk mattresses over a month ago out side near the dumpster in the back driveway off of quinlan ave kids play back there it's gross they still also use 2nd floor as a rooming house and too familes living togather in first floor with 3-5 kids that run through are quinlan street after school riding bikes up till dark screaming through food on the street like chicken ,pizza,paper rapers.we try to keep are street clean people complane about the kids riding on there lawns and kicking the garbage pails over, and not moving off the road when cars come up and down the street ...they go in mail boxes put stones in them ,durt.never happend till the new people moved in in the old rooming house 251 west main..ive lived here on quinlan for almost 10 years now...

Cleanup has started but has a way to go, nice that someone followed up thank you
It would be great if one final inspection could be done before I close this. It appears that many things have been crudely covered not removed ie 50 gallon drums, sheets of metal etc.

Some idiot private contractor decided to push snow from someone's property in front of my mother's house. She cannot access her mailbox, the entrance to the handicap ramp has snow melting from the pile dumped creating an ice rink in front of the ramp and her house. Please, can someone from the highway department drop some sand, calcium chloride anything to make it somewhat safer? Please answer this post and I will give you the exact address, email, telephone number, etc.

Thank you.

The amount of trash on city streets is not only appalling, it adds to the tarnished reputation of Meriden. I am quite sure "officials" have noticed the deplorable state of the roadways in our city - what is being done to rectify this issue?

The amount of trash on the Stop & Shop property is disgusting. What happened to the enforcement of Meriden's § 176-4. Clean community provisions?

The person(s) living at this address has multiple landscaping trucks, supplies, Dumpsters, machinery, etc. on the property. Trash from this property can be seen blowing around the surrounding streets. Would someone from the correct city department please take a look?

The playing fields at Lincoln Middle School are lined with trash - plastic water and sport drink bottles, clothing, paper, etc. Please clean and maintain this area - it is not only an eyesore, it is not environmentally friendly.

Looks like someone dumped tires over the guardrail from the highway (I-691 E) onto the property. (The house is currently empty.)

The current owner, BAC Home Loans Servicing LP, should be held accountable for the appearance and cleanup of this property. Overgrown lawn, bushes, weeds; hanging garage doors, broken windows, etc. This has been a problem property for a number of years. City management, please have this property cleaned up - it is one of the neighborhood eyesores.

trash in entrance to linear trail parking lot and larger amount between Oregon Road and the concrete barrier at phase 2 of trail.

blue 5 gallon bucket placed behind tree. This is almost across from fire hydrant just north of Linear Trail parking area on Oregon Rd.

There are broken tree limbs at trees bordering 123 & 131 Gale Ave. One limb came down on garage of 123 Gale Ave.
When time permits ,please remove them.
I am handicapped & limbs are to heavy for wife.

The grass at this location is covered in dog feces. My child has slipped on it numerous times. The owner refuses to clean up his mess.
