business, damaged homes, excessive vibration, excessive noise at all hours of
the day and night, construction trucks not using the proper roadways, and on
and on....where does it stop?
You know this wouldn't go on if this was Summit Avenue! I am SO SICK of
everyone taking advantage of the Frogtown area.
Last night this is what happened:
BEWARE on Uni/ Mation intersection....Huge divet on Marion that is not marked!
Cars are bottoming out,, mufflers getting damaged, tires and alignments messed
up. It ripped the tire right off the rim of or car last night. We now need
front end alignment, tire repair, etc! THANKS WALSH CONSTRUCTION! Called
construction Hotline to report last night right after it happened at 11:30 pm.
There had better be markers up so drivers are aware...anyone else who has
suffered damage contact the Hotline! I have talked to other neighbors this
morning...others have had problems too! So you think they could have marked
the HUGE divet? Heck no. Do you think they will pay for repairs? Most likely
not!
FYI-My father knows of Walsh Construction...he worked with them in IL and says
they are low bidding down and dirty company and are known for doing it cheap,
causing a lot of damage and not taking responsibility. They are known for
getting city and state jobs-of course...low bidders always win. YOU GET WHAT
YOU PAY FOR! The sad part is the city of St Paul hired them without checking
this out first. Maybe it's time for a class action suit against them and the
city to hold them ALL accountable. No more stepping on Frogtown!
I live on Sherburne. My house shakes like crazy. All my doors are now
misaligned, pictures are crocked, I BOUNCE in my house! The limestone
foundation walls of my basement have chunks that have fallen out of them and
limestone debris all around the base of the walls. I am just waiting for a
crack to appear in a wall or the ceiling. And what is even worse than what is
showing up right now, the damage WALSH is causing can take a year or so to
manifest. The stress points are now there and just waiting to pop! Do your
research on line and check into swampland and environmental engineers and what
they have found out about unstable land and vibration.
In addition to all the above...all the shaking and damage to our homes and the
businesses along Uni...Walsh says they have vibration alarms installed with
alarms. These supposed alarms go off if they are causing damaging vibration and
then they must stop work and find another way to do that work. Well the alarms
are not going off and everyone is suffering. Technically, an environmental
engineer should have studied our soil ( which is very mobile swampland here in
Frogtown) and assessed what vibration level would be acceptable. I wonder if
that was done or if Walsh just took a general vibration level that would apply
to any soil for their acceptable levels?
