Kingfield Neighborhood

You can't even drive around the potholes anymore because there are so many!

You cannot drive at any speed or confidence on most of this stretch of Nicollet. It's an embarrassment to our city to have streets in this horrific condition.

Driving from 38th to just past 37th on Stevens is basically like driving on the moon. The potholes are deep and so wide you can't actually avoid them - you can only try to hit the least bad parts.

This building has a new owner and Peter Pan Cleaners is closing. Now would be a good time to inspect this building and make sure it is brought up to code.

Building in severe state of deterioration. Roof in center of building has sagged up to 12 inches so drain had to be moved. This rain leader has never been removed from the sanitary sewer system (314 and 316 have new drains to parking lot but not 322). Store front windows are bulging out at the bottom apparently ready to collapse. Renovation has begun on 316 but electrical boxes are just hanging creating a fire hazard. Chimney for boiler is severely deteriorated and poorly repaired without permit. Plans are to remove the dry cleaning steam boiler and equipment. Does this need a permit (posible contamination)? Roof has extensive leaking causing plaster to fall from the walls and ceiling. This was recently patched without permit and continues to leak. Oil and contaminants have leaked in the basement floor.

314, 316, and 322 have been haphazardly repaired for years and has many plumbing and electrical and structural deficiencies. The neighborhood looks forward to a profesional renovation. Please inspect the property and advise the new owner of any deficiencies or code violations.

Thank you.
The neighborhood

A group of Kingfield resident leaders is organizing support for a potential off-leash area in MLK Park. This part of the city has the highest density of licensed dogs, but no off-leash areas. An off-leash area would be good for dogs and people, create an alternative to unlawful off-leash use of the park, build community among neighbors, and add to the positive activities taking place in our neighborhood park.

If you think a dogpark is a good idea we need to know who you are so we can get in touch with you about future events and plans. Please visit us at http://kingfield.org/dog-park .

Specifically we are looking for:
1.) Facebook friends - show your support
2.) Photos of dogs and their families - demonstrate the great diversity in family make-up, all desiring to use this dogpark together
3.) Anyone who could volunteer CAD skills to help us produce visuals of the prospective off-leash areas

lost muffler to these potholes - awesome holes fixed once poorly and have reopened within days

Potholes between Nicollet and Stevens Ave on 36th are out of control There are many of them
