Bill Woodside, an Oxford Court resident, told the Erlanger City Council on Nov. 4 that recurring "street creep" has pushed concrete panels and damaged his garage foundation, and he asked the city to replace the street and reimburse more than $27,000 in repairs.

"Today, we paid out over $27,000 to fix and mitigate this problem that the city has been negligent in repairing," Woodside said, presenting civil engineering reports he said were included in council packets.

Woodside described how concrete panels expand and contract and how debris and hardened expansion material have, in his view, prevented normal movement and pushed the panels downhill. His neighbor, Wendy Murphy, said the issue dates to at least 2011, said her household is on a fixed income, and urged the city to act; she said past requests had not led to a long‑term repair.

City public works staff responded that expansion joints consistent with current standards were installed and that a city repair in August 2023 showed no subsequent movement, citing engineering reviews performed in December 2024 and July 2025. A public works representative said the engineer reports indicate overlaying or replacing the street would not address the underlying cause of street creep and said staff will continue to monitor the area.

Mayor Jessica Feddy told the residents the city has received the submitted documentation and that the claim will be handled through the appropriate channels. "You've submitted your documentation. You've made a claim; we will address [it] through the appropriate channels," a city representative said.

Residents sought reimbursement and replacement of Oxford Court; city staff said they will follow up and that public works has performed mitigation work including an 18‑inch trench filled with asphalt and installation of expansion joints. Council did not vote on a remedy at the meeting but acknowledged the claim and referred it for administrative follow‑up.
