Description
The storm water drainage-ditch next to Providence Road is in desperate need of flood control and drainage service. This critical road provides traffic relief from busy Princess Anne Road. In addition, this vital side street supports the areas first responders (Police, Fire, and Ambulances), school buses and provides access to numerous residential neighborhoods and homes. Over the years, an accumulation of vegetation and sediment has created a situation where proper storm water drainage is negatively impacted and compromises motorist and residents safety. Routinely under periods of heavy rainfall, the bend in Providence Road between Selwood Drive and Birks Lane has water running over the roadway surface.
Request for service includes excavation of the storm water drainage-ditch to effectively remove vegetation and years of sediment build-up. In turn, the excavated area will be better equipped to deal with the storm water by safely directing the flow of water into the North Landing River instead of over Providence Road.

As the Public Works / Operations Stormwater Division we are responsible for maintaining stormwater infrastructure which includes maintaining ditches for flow and flooding. An investigation for flow and flooding shows no blockages and the ditch is performing as designed. Periodic removal of vegetation on this ditch is performed every 2 to 3 years. Landscape Services has recently removed vegetation from the roadside and behind the guardrail from along this stretch of Providence Road improving sight lines for traffic coming out of the neighborhoods. The request for further improvements of the sight lines has been forwarded to Traffic Engineering for review and they can be contacted at 757-385-4131 for the status of this request.
A Service Request has been created to spray for mosquitos along this ditch and future requests can be made by calling 757-385-1470.
If more information is needed regarding these issues please call 757-385-1470.

the ditch that runs along Providence Rd, I drove each street and pulled out on to Providence Rd from Amesbury Rd, Timberlake Dr, Dunhill Dr and Charlestown Dr. The view is not obstructed at this time. I have not had any flood calls in this area and found no blockages blocking the flow of water.

••••••••NOTE: The below is NOT about the ditch along Providence Road. However this ditch out flows to the Fox Run ditch/canal which in turn outflows to the North Landing River.•••••••••

Again, all I'm asking is what the City has done to resolve this issue. Just stating such doesn't give any explanation.

The City of Virginia Beach has resolved this issue
—————————————————————————
For all of the reports, service requests and work orders there has been there has been nothing done to restore the outflow design capacity to the actual ditch or the RCPs under Admiration, Edwin, Amesbury, Timberlake, Dunhill and Charlestown Drives. All the CLOSED action appears to have been concentrated on clearing vegetation from the guardrail which looks nice but does nothing to improve the ditches outflow. I know that the Fox Run Canal/ditch is a separate issue but the Providence Road ditch empties into it and won’t be worked on until FY2021. Photos attached. I strongly urge you to take the action request by the reporter, VirginiaBeachCollaborativeNeighbor, and report as action is taken with a completion date before closing again.
