Every time it rains the culvert in front of/between Bruster’s Ice Cream and Small Talk backs up and floods like in this photo or even worse. The water remains high like this for 12-24 hours later. Each time it is also destroying all landscaping in the area due to high water.
The main whole cover on the sidewalk next to the 1200 building is opened up. A child almost fell in it cause it flipped up when they walked over it.

There is a lot of gravel and sand on the edge of the street which doesn't help when the drain gets clogged (which it does every time it rains). I adopted this drain and keep it clear but think the street department should come and remove all the gravel etc. Thanks
The storm water drainage located in front of the house (closer to the street) is clogged. The city usually cleans it, but it seems that it hasn't been cleaned in a while.
Hello- The drain in our cul de sac regularly is clogged and I've written about this before. The pipe which runs from the drain to the city easement drainage creek, runs through our back yard. The city sent out a crew several years ago and Phil Peden emailed with pictures saying there were multiple breaches as someone (before we moved here in 2011) connected to the pipe with gutter discharges or something. He said it was our responsibility to fix the pipe, but since it deals with city water using our property, I was hoping the city could help us. We have regularly had water in our basement since moving here and have spent thousands of dollars drying it. The whole water from the neighborhood comes towards us, as well as the golf course water down the service road in our backyard. Our neighbors' yard along creek is overwhelmed with water as well. For some reason, I'm unable to attach a video of the creek from the last big rain on May 20, so if you give me an email, I can send it that way. Thanks for your help .Kevin Murphy 917 374 8069
Reporting again as I have not heard from anyone about this issue. There is no sign that the development has done anything to fix this issue. In addition they have increased their work behind our house including starting work with large tractors just before 6:30am. It's very loud and was reported to the police. Previous information already sent: Behind our house (to the west) is the Kinser Ridge development. After their work moving around dirt last week (they started on Monday 5/18) and then the resulting rain has inundated the silt fence and it is no longer standing and rainwater mixed with silt pours over when it rains. The worst was Wednesday 5/20 where the silt poured down our driveway, flooded our garage and left 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch of silt in many parts of our driveway once the rain stopped. There has been no change in the silt fence despite my husband (Tom Grano) reporting to the city in multiple departments and speaking with the foreman of the development. Today (5/26) the development is once again moving around dirt in that area. The silt fence needs to be repaired and a more permanent solution needs to be found as soon as possible, especially with a high probability of rain the next few days. Our house is not the only property that has been impacted as the west lane of Kinser Pike flooded on Wednesday 5/20 and the silt could be seen as far down as Bayles.
Along the northern property line of 2520 N Fritz Drive a serious flooding problem occurs each time there is heavy rainfall. Flooding occurs in my back yard. I have taken videos of this problem. The rainfall from North Dunn Street cascades westward down onto the property behind my home. That business has a large parking lot. That allows water from Dunn Street to run onto my property. If the trees are removed and a street is added on the property at 2511 N Dunn Street, the problem that now exists for my back yard will increasingly become worse. I have added several loads of topsoil to the back yard due to erosion and to protect the home's foundation. At the front of my property, I also have flooding issues. Fritz Drive has a download slope towards N Walnut Street. Floodwaters run into my driveway and erode that area. I have had landscapers add several loads of topsoil and install drainage pipes to relieve some of the water issues. These floodwaters from North Dunn into our neighborhood are channeled westward beneath North Walnut into Cascades Park. There are issues of pollution with these floodwaters. Health issues should be considered for our community members.
