(John Clark/The Gazette) A sign at the entrance of the Magnolia Place development in Lowell notifying the community about the potentially dangerous dirt hillside that needs to be replaced with a retaining wall.
Residents of a Lowell retirement community want it known that the town has refused to put taxpayer dollars toward a dangerous wall of dirt bordering several homes. The developer of Magnolia Place in Lowell went out of business but not before leaving behind a steep hillside without any stabilization.
Now homeowners in the community have posted signs reading, Public beware imminent dangerous hillside and City Council declared dangerous hillside at Magnolia Place.
Engineers have told the community and the town that a retaining wall needs to be built.
Since the developer went out of business, residents have been stuck and sought help from the town.
In September, a code enforcement officer with the town declared the spot dangerous and a nuisance.
But in October, City Council voted not to use taxpayer money to fix the problem. Town leaders say they plan to explore other avenues for getting developers to pay for a retaining wall.
Residents insist the town is negligent by not fixing the wall.

Retirement community still mad over dirt wall
PHOENIXVILLE Phoenixville will get a check for $397,696 from Chester County on Wednesday for a project to prevent the Schuylkill from flooding the borough's water treatment plant, which would damage equipment and force the borough to rely on companies to get water to more than 20,000 people.
The project will raise the flood retaining wall at the facility, which serves Phoenixville, East Pikeland and Schuylkill Townships in Chester County, and Upper Providence Township in Montgomery County.
The plant has flooded only once, but there have been a few close calls, including in 2006 when the Schuylkill crested six inches below the top of the flood wall, according to the borough.
The borough will reinforce the wall and build a new concrete wall in front of it.
The money comes from the county's Community Revitalization Program, which has distributed annual grants since 2002.
Five boroughs and the City of Coatesville received grants totaling $2.9 million this year. - Michaelle Bond

Chesco project will raise flood wall
A section of Route 611 below College Hill in Easton will be closed for two to four weeks to repair a retaining wall.
Heavy rains in May damaged the wall at the cul de sac of Mattes Lane above Route 611,according to city public works director Dave Hopkins.
The road has been closed intermittently all summer for the project, Hopkins said.
"It's a fairly complicated project," Hopkins said.
The road will shut down for two to four weeks so by-passers on Route 611 won't be in harm's way from the work above. Work is expected to begin some time after this weekend, Hopkins said.
Traffic was at a crawl Monday morning due to work on the project, but that was in large part due to traffic rerouted from a crash on Route 611. The road was closed Tuesday morning but traffic wasn't nearly as bad, Hopkins said.

MIRI: The retaining wall of a drain at a residential area in Padang Kerbau here is coming apart, and one affected resident is worried his front porch may follow suit.
The resident, who wanted to be identified only as Richard, noted that soil erosion had been happening subtly in front of his house for years, especially when it rained.
I have been staying here for years, and I have seen how the retaining wall gradually gives way because of loosen soil.
As a temporary solution, Richard recently secured the retaining wall with a few pieces of wood and covered the exposed area with a piece of nylon canvas.
The Borneo Post noticed that lalang (long weed) and soil had blocked several parts of the retaining wall along the road intersection to Padang Kerbau, near Boulevard Roundabout.
Padang Kerbau and Boulevard are very busy areas, especially during peak hours.
I wonder how the authority, particularly the Public Works Department, could be oblivious to the condition of the drains here, said Richard, hoping that the problem could be fixed promptly.

Mayor believes there is not immediate risks to households in the area
Residents living on Snows Drive in Wabush received a letter today stating land near their homes may be considered unsafe under certain conditions.
Breaking News
The Town of Wabush has received complaints concerning the retaining wall on Snows Drive and land moving on the other side of the road for a number of years.
Wabush Mayor Colin Vardy said the council decided it was time to act, and hired a consultant Stantec to look into the problem. After drilling for soil composition of the bank and where it may slide, Stantec reported back their findings to the town, which immediately sent the study to the towns lawyers and internal engineer.
This is something weve only recently discovered, Vardy said. Were letting the residents know in a timely process. This isnt something weve been sitting on.
The six-foot-tall metal retaining wall was installed by a developer without the towns input, Vardy said.
The town did not request to have the wall installed, nor did we issue any permits for it. The wall does not belong to us, nor was it put there by our request.
Vardy added the town is looking into whos accountable and whos responsible to fix it.
We want to protect the residents any way we can and we want to make sure were not accepting responsibility of development which isnt our responsibility.
