City Streets Crumble Amid Rain and Construction

A major washout has ripped open near Ninth and Farnam, forcing car relocations and prompting city crews to scramble—another smaller one popped up nearby at Twelfth and Harney. This isn’t the first time: just last Sunday, a similar collapse hit Blackstone. Officials say these incidents are tied to construction and Midwest rain, exposing soil and triggering collapses. Residents are understandably rattled, especially after recent scares. City engineers explain it’s a natural process, and crews have already moved a steel plate blocking a garage to begin repairs. Concrete will cover streetcar rails next week, though delays are possible. Stay tuned—this one’s not going away. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
