A local woman is demanding answers from city officials after a massive sinkhole appeared in her yard, claiming it is the city’s responsibility. The sinkhole, which measures over eight feet wide and several feet deep, has not only damaged her property but also raised serious safety concerns for her family and neighbors.
The woman, who lives in the Maple Street neighborhood, reported the issue to the city last month after noticing the ground starting to shift. “I woke up one morning to find this gaping hole in my yard,” she said in an emotional video shared on social media. “It’s not just an eyesore; it’s dangerous. I can’t let my kids play outside anymore!”
In her video, she points out cracks running through her driveway and foundation, which she attributes to nearby city construction work. “How can they expect us to live like this? They need to take responsibility for the damage they’ve caused,” she argued.
Since the appearance of the sinkhole, the woman has reached out to city officials multiple times, urging them to take immediate action. However, she claims her concerns have been met with minimal response. “They just say they’re aware of the issue, but nothing gets done. It feels like we’re being ignored,” she added.
City spokespersons have stated they are investigating the situation, but no official comment has been made regarding liability. As the woman continues to advocate for her family’s safety, community members rally around her, echoing her call for prompt action from the city to address the growing crisis.
