CBU supervisor went to the site, and found that the curb is level with the asphalt drive way. I called the customer and notified her. I also left her my name and phone number if she had any questions.
Other: Water and debris continuously builds up on the west side of the street. The road slopes to the west side and there are no nearby stormwater drains. The closest drain is 1/2 block north on the opposite side of the street. This picture is directly in front of my house. The pavement at this site erodes due to all the standing water and debris and requires consistent patching. I have lived at this address for 16 years and this has been an ongoing problem. I have concerns this will only get worse as there is a new bus route starting in August which will be using this stretch of the road several times a day. I am told the road is to be resurfaced this summer however, without a proper drain system in place this will not resolve the problem. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The problem here is the homeowner(s) have put concrete in the gutter to make it easier to drive up their driveway and the concrete is blocking the flow of water and allowing it to pond on the upstream side where it is damaging the pavement. I've informed the home owner that this is the problem and they should repour their curb with a lower curb instead of filling in the gutter. Its up to the Street Dept if you all want to remove the concrete from the gutter if and when you repave.
