Two Sinkholes Spotted: On Caton And On East 2nd

We noticed two sinkholes in the area that could use some attention. The first, pictured above, is on Caton between McDonald and East 2nd. Close up:

Either the Department of Environmental Protection already knows about it, or someone just happened to find a very accurate marker to leave on top of it to alert people that it’s there.

The other is one East 2nd Street at the intersection of Beverley Road, and it’s significantly larger. Clearly it’s been patched a couple of times, but as you can see in the photo, it’s sinking fairly significantly, and the cracks are extending beyond the repars.

We’ve put in requests with 311, and would recommend that neighbors who live near these streets do the same by phone or online. We’ll let you know what we hear.
