Repair Unpaved Alleyway at 413 N. Noble St.

I, the undersigned, do hereby state that I am a current resident of the 27th Ward of Chicago; that my present place of residence is truly stated opposite my signature hereto, and that I do hereby petition that the following grievance be addressed by our elected city of Chicago representative Alderman Walter Burnett, Jr. located at 4 N. Western Ave. Unit 1C Chicago, IL 60612:

WE ARE SEEKING IMMEDIATE ATTENTION TO THE UNPAVED SOUTH ALLEYWAY OF 413 N. NOBLE, A PRIMARY ACCESS-WAY FOR MULTIPLE RESIDENCES. FROM YEARS OF NEGLECT, THE ALLEY POSES SAFETY, HEALTH AND DRIVING HAZARDS FOR AREA RESIDENTS.

THE SOUTH ALLEYWAY OF 413 N. NOBLE HAS NUMEROUS (8-10) LARGE CRATERS, INCLUDING ONE LARGE CAVITY THAT MEASURES OVER 8’ LONG AND 10” DEEP. WE HAVE INCLUDED THE ATTACHED PHOTOS WHICH ILLUSTRATES THE CURRENT CONDITION OF THE ALLEY.

OUR PRIMARY CONCERNS ARE THE LARGE AMOUNT OF STANDING WATER RUNOFF, DIFFICULT DRIVING CONDITIONS AND THE NEGATIVE APPEARANCE IT GIVES TO THE ADJACENT PROPERTIES. DURING THE PAST WINTER, IT BECAME THE SOLE EXIT BECAUSE OF THE SNOW BANKS. THE STANDING WATER TURNED INTO ICE MAKING DRIVING EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

WE HAVE ALREADY WITNESSED A CHILD FALL IN THE LARGEST CAVITY WHILE ON HER BIKE. RESIDENTS REQUEST COMPARABLE CEMENT / PAVED ALLEY AS PRESENT IN SURROUNDING AREA.
