Description
The storm drain next to the park is completely blocked. Every time it rains that side of the road floods causing cars to swerve into oncoming traffic.

Still a problem. Flooded again with yesterday's rain.

This has been ongoing. The drain overflows with the slightest rainfall. I have called several times on it. Sounds like a job for our new alderman!!! Go get 'em , Sal!!

Ignoring this problem has created a much larger problem. All of the flooding over the last 6 months has deteriorated the street surrounding the storm drain, which will only get much worse with the upcoming winter season.

Drain is being cleaned out this morning by DOT!

with winter coming and this drain being near a stop sign many people will be slidding at the stop when this drain floods then refreezes over in the coming winter days

No change on this situation. do we have to wait for the whole street to become a sinkhole? Potholes are already undermining driveway aprons and the water is cracking the asphalt to pieces all along this heavily-traveled stretch of Townsend Ave. Delay will only mean more expensive repairs.
