The lack of proper drainage runoff on this block of Mitchell keeps causing the gravel on my driveway to wash away. I have had to replenish it many times and it always washes away. This is now causing damage to cars when entering or exiting the driveway. Can the city please install proper drainage?
water runoff during rain storms and what the county allows me to do as far as making ditch more attractive and less of an eyesore +work better during downpours.
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.

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
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.
