They are far from done....

We agree with the comments made regarding the present condition of the alleys. The crews came in and did what they did and did not appear to be concerned with the condition of the alleys when they were done. No only are there holes where cement was removed and not filled back in, but there are holes made and nothing done with them, at least that is evident. Also, some holes that were made, the cement was just piled back into it and left that way. So pieces of cement is just jagged.

In addition to the holes, there are dozens of cigarette butts left in piles on the ground. Not only is it disgusting, but it shows again that the folks doing the work had no respect for our properties. Photo attached for review. (I have several more photos but not able to upload them all, but if contacted, am happy to share them.)

This issue has been forwarded to TECO.

Seems to me that TECO hasn’t responded nor have they done much at all: Par for this website.

Can the city please follow up with TECO? Seems as if they have finished on the northern side of 5th ave in the 21 - 2300 blocks.
Again however they have not bothered to back fill with tar the holes correctly. Because the city no longer paved alley easy it is important that any contractors leave the area the same if not better.
I will follow up until resolved

TECO was contacted today and an update on correction of this issue will be forthcoming. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Thanks. Seems like they’re not done as the new lines aren’t gases up yet. Will wait until they’re done completely to see if they leave alley in same or better condition.

Per their permit and final inspection they are required to return it to its prior condition.

And not to mention but their workers are rather rude when asked how long it will be before they’re done. We go through the alley to park in our garage off the alley. If we approach from the western side, which always has glass shattered on the ground and we’d rather not risk a flat. But, that’s our problem, no one else’s. And I understand they are working a laborious job. Who needs someone who can park on the street in front of their house in the meantime?
Okay, what I just wrote (the above) is a perfect example of how, we as St. Petersburg residents, can complain over how put out we can unnecessarily be when things are just perfect enough for us.

The TECO representative has been notified of the issues surrounding the gas line improvements to the alleys and has assured the City the subcontractor has been notified to correct them. They have another person coming to ensure all notifications are done ahead of the crews in a timely manner and all areas will be secured and returned to their original condition or better. TECO will have their contractor make sure the city inspector is being notified daily of all work being done. TECO inspectors will ensure all job site areas are being left safe. if work can’t be completed that day they will backfill and barricading off.

Again, thank you for your patience and understanding. Please report future issues to the SeeClickFix application or call the Mayors Action Center.
