The City-owned retaining wall at the Hunt Woods end of Vernon Parkway has lost mortar over an area of about 10 square feet around a large storm drain pipe, The soil behind the wall has washed out to the extent that a 4-foot radius hole has opened up. The asphalt is at least a foot below street level, but it may be more. The leaves that are in the hole makes it hard to see how deep the hole is. If there were to be a pedestrian there it would be a hazard. I think the real risk is to the retaining wall.
I'll be there by 6:45pm to assess.
The sinkhole itself has been resolved, but probably only temporarily, because the mortar washout (and stones fallen from the wall) will continue the underground erosion. This is a longer-term problem, not easy to resolve because of the awkwardness of the location and the difficulty in determining the depth of the erosion under street.
Sinkhole has not yet teturned. But it will because retaining wall.has not been repaired.
Why should I have to keep commenting to keep this unresolved matter from being deleted?
