while walking to work this morning, i couldn't cross at the intersection of kirkwood & lincoln because it was flooded there. the drain there is probably blocked with fallen leaves etc.

I sent this problem in last week. The resolution was they've been clearing the storm drains but they were not going to pick up the debris and tell leaf pickup. This is going to cause the grass today as it does every fall. In Park Ridge as last year we put our leaves at eight weeks we waited for the leaves to be picked up. If these storm drains are going to have piles of leaves next to them for the next 8 weeks then this intersection is going to flood every single time we have rain. This is at the bottom of Three Hills. And the pile is going to get so large like it did last year 4 by 4 by 3 feet high. That the grass is going to die again. It seems reasonable to have the storm sewers cleared and the debris carried away every time we have a flooding event. If this is not resolved differently I will be contacting the mayor. Thank you very much.
Bicycling on Howe, I was struck by the fact that both storm sewer grates appear to be obstructed by yard waste, which will become an issue when we get our spring rains before the thaw. I suspect that this is not an isolated experience.
The metal covering over the storm drain in the "round about" has come off. The cover is in the street and the hole is open. The drain looks clogged with mud and debris. There is also a big hole. Kids play in this grassy area. This uncovered drain is a broken leg waiting to happen. The metal cover in the street is a hazard.
The storm drain between 1019 and 1017 w 6th st isn't draining. Water is flowing on top of it.
