The city needs to go after JE Dunn (Sp?) and Juul over the building at Lamar and Hether. They clearly hit some kind of water table during construction (I assume this being one of the few sub-grade garages in the area is a likely cause) and their solution was to pump the water through a large pipe into the street that is pretty constantly flowing and it is making that intersection incredibly dangerous. Its basically completely destroyed the asphalt to the point of multiple massive potholes that you could lose a small car in and we're lucky that the damage is relegated to Hether and not the Southbound Lamar lanes.

The best part if the city has hot patched the intersection to fill the giant holes twice this week (the hot patch of course lasts *days* given its nature with constantly flowing water) and I keep seeing the city leak detection squad at the site, but of course its not their problem because its not a leak in the water system.

This is the exact kind of shit that NIMBYs are going to weaponize against density on Lamar as its a case of a developer who clearly said "fuck it" when they hit a problem and solved their issue at the expense of the neighborhood.
