Bert Rapp, the city Public Works Director, has ignored the open ditch along the railroad tracks off Sespe. He claims that the city has no money to repair this eyesore. The ground under Sespe Street is deterioration and caving in. Public works does not maintain nor has ever cleaned the ditch out. Bert states he was unaware of the drainage pipe or the ground caving in under Sespe Street. The city’s property runs along Sespe Street and is parallel to A Street Self Storage. Bert says that the city does not have the money to install a drain pipe in that area. The storm water from A Street and Sespe Street, and drainage water from the Fire Department also runs down into this ditch. All storm water drainage from the pipe dumps into the ditch and is causing the ground to cave in. There is nowhere else for the water to drain to except into the ditch. With all the money the city is spending on storm water drainage I don’t understand why this is being ignored.
