Presented at the City Council Meeting
This holiday weekend there was also a holiday in the public safety on
Sacramento Drive. There was a open unguarded trench on a construction
project for placing a large street drain going down the west side normally traffic
lane in the UPS end of the trench where there was not enough steel plates to
completely cover a trench and it was left open throughout the duration of the
weekend as observed on Saturday, Sunday when It was first reported, and
Monday when a back hoe streached accross the twelve foot long, four foot
wide, and six foot deep trench. Perhaps they got the message from the first
complaint since they did reach across the trench with a back hoe but did no
more that that when a barter fence would be more appropriate. The second
reporting got a better response since tonight there is a steel plate over it.
The problem at the city end of this my attempt to e-mail the code enforcement
officer a heads up and a picture was met with a internet response which came
back —Transa ipt of session follows—

That is not the kind of response that the citizens of San Luis Obispo would like
to expect out of an attempt to place a complaint concerning a public safety
issue near the middle of the street.

Subject: trench in street ieft open over weekend on Sacramento Drive near UPS
This open trench was left uncovered and unfenced all holiday weekend over nights at the end
of the trench next to UPS on Sacramento Drive. It is about twelve fee long by four fee wide
and six feet deep and has been left un protected. It was reported to the State on Sunday
evening with no result. Please deal with this public nuisance and public safety problem. You
have told me before that my public nuisance complaints were not your problem when I have
tried to get you to deal with the flood hazard issues in this vicinity but this is a public street that
really poses an imediate threat to the public especially when the condition has gone on all
weekend and even now a day and a half since it was first reported to the state. But I guess
when a holliday comes up public safety is secondary. Please report your actions by return e-
mail. This is a request.
