Serious flash flooding in our neighborhood last night. At least 7 residential lots were affected on W Allen (6 north side of the street, 1 south side) directly west of the drainage creek that runs alongside Patterson. This has been an issue for several years, but is happening with increased frequency and severity. I've owned my house since 2012 and experienced 1 instance through 2019. Since then we've had floods covering much of my front yard at least twice a year. Last night was the 3rd instance this year and the worst I've seen. Water level reached my knees while on the sidewalk. Earlier this year, one neighbor's car was totaled due to flooding. Another had water rise up above floor level in their house a couple years ago. Previous attempts to clear brush, debris, and small blockages in the creek have had no impact. Rain garden bump outs were installed on Allen. They seem to have no impact as they run east up Allen whereas the source of flooding is the creek to the west. Utilities staff working on our block in the past have suggested culverts were too small to handle water flow. Reading the 2022 stormwater master plan, I wonder if installing a detention pond nearby might help. Instead of attaching photos, here's a video link taken at the peak of flooding last night: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/q84v292p5nk4e2a6dnqo4/Video-Jun-29-2025-9-46-38-PM.mov?rlkey=aouaax4cfgu6nnr8pvieuterj&st=o88w184x&dl=0

Water is flowing from the lawn on the west side of Roosevelt, just south of Fifth St., and then running down the sidewalk. Looks like a leak; also the sidewalk is a bit slippery because the water is flowing through tree debris.

The runoff from Dunn street continues to pose a serious problem for all houses on the west side of the street. It is a high point at Dunn and Tamarack Trail and the amount of water coming west from there has caused serious flooding problems all the way down Glendora. I have put in a triple pickup to deal with the overflow as have other neighbors but the amount of water is just not manageable coming from the top of the hill. I know that there is a plan to put in a sidewalk on the east side of Dunn and hope there is a plan for the runoff water. The attached short video is after only 30 minutes of rain causing serious flooding to my west neighbors house. I tried to attach as a zip file but the video is still too large (over 10Mb). I will be happy to share this via email when you get back with me. Thanks and regards, Jay Waxler

Rain patterns are changing. My neighborhood has no storm water drainage. The water flows down from N Dunn unabated. All my neighbors and I have done remediation but the volume of water flowing across our properties has dramatically increased. All of us have experienced flooding. I have lived in my house for 21 years. I have never had a flood in my basement. I have had two in the past month. We pay every month for storm water removal in our utilities bill, but in truth all the cost has actually fallen to the home owners. Please look into this. We all feel that storm water needs to be captured at N Dunn St. I look forward to your response.

Stormwater drainage on sidewalk on the south side of the 600 block of E First Street needs attention. The whole sidewalk on that side was literally a river during a recent rainstorm.
