The storm water inlet looks like it is washing away under the grate cover and have a sinkhole and erosion problems on the back side.

We have had significant flooding at the intersection of 11th St and Blair Ave for many years. The water is high enough to jump the north curb and flood the sidewalk. What I realized in the last storm is that much of the problem stems from insufficient stormwater inlets upstream. In particular, there are no inlets near the intersection of 11th and Orris Dr, so the water simply follows the road and creates excess drainage demand on the inlets at Blair. We could really use an upgrade to the drainage system along 11th Street and its side roads in this area.

The stormwater pipes that go under the railroad are once again blocked up. Along the B-Line Trail, across from lamppost 157.

For years there has been a strong sewer smell in the this area. (I have paid for plumbers to examine my house and the problem is not in the house.) As the cable workers have been laying the cable, I asked various if they also smelled the sewer odor and if they knew where it might be coming from. There were three basic answers: (1) A "lift station" in one of the drains may be faulty; (2) the terrain where sewage may back up at the crest of the hill; and (3) the manhole cover between houses at 909 West Gourley Pike is old and may be corroded so that the sewer gas is able to escape.

There are two pipes that run under the railroad tracks, opposite the B-Line trail at lamppost 157, that are part of the stormwater drainage system for the surrounding neighborhoods. They both appear to be almost completely blocked up, effectively creating a stagnant pond on the north side of the tracks. I tried clearing debris from around the mouth with a rake, but I believe the blockages are deeper inside the pipes. It would be good if this could get cleaned out before mosquito breeding season begins. It might also be a good idea to install a grate to prevent larger debris from getting lodged inside these pipes in the future. Thanks!

Drainage pipes that run under the railroad tracks are blocked up again. I cleared as much as I could from the inflows but I can see more material lodged inside. Hope we can get a grate installed at some point to prevent future blockages. Opposite the B-Line trail at lamppost 157. Thanks!

Stormwater runoff in alley (lack of storm sewer in area). Stormwater comes from alley up the hill and down into the low spots in this area. It could be mitigated with a storm sewer system.

A fallen tree is partially blocking the drainage ditch that flows under the B-Line and railroad tracks, directly opposite the B-Line from lamppost 135.

There is a stormwater runoff ditch between our house (901 W 11th St) and the neighboring house, 827 W 11th St. I've noticed that after a rainfall, the stormwater that collects in the ditch looks blackish in color, and there is a strong odor of sewage coming from it. I'm wondering if there is a leak from the sanitary sewer somewhere in the neighborhood, that is spilling into the stormwater sewer.

Downed trees are restricting the flow of stormwater runoff through the ditch, close to where it intersects the B Line Trail. This is causing the adjacent lot to flood during periods of heavy rain.
