Drainage or Runoff
903 W 11th ST
- Case Date:
- 6/19/2025
Flooding continues to be an issue on W 11th Street, at the lowest point where it intersects with Blair Ave. Please see the photos and videos I took yesterday: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1WkvlvMpbzfWyCDrWhkIhXHjeLg5dyMIW?usp=sharing
I cleared all of the storm drains at this intersection yesterday BEFORE the storm, but within minutes after the storm began, more debris washed in and clogged them up. I had to risk going outside in severe weather and high winds to remove the new debris and keep the water from spilling over into my yard. I fear that one of these days a tree branch will fall on me while I'm out doing this. This road needs MAJOR engineering attention. One thing I noticed is that there are no storm drains on the uphill portions of 11th Street, or at the intersection with Orris Drive. I'm not a civil engineer but I believe that adding additional drains along these areas would help collect some of the water before it makes it to the bottom of the hill.

Hole alongside water meter in ROW has been present for a while. Dangerous. Please fill in. For reference, see #202952 and #202953. NB: Depending on where exactly you click on the map, the address that comes up is sometimes *incorrectly* listed as "414 E. Cottage Grove", but that is wrong. The *correct* address is 450 E. Cottage Grove. Hole is by the street closest to the SW corner of the lot.

The cover for the access to the water line on Spicewood Ln has opened a number of times and I've been able to put it back. Today, the cover is jammed and I couldn't move it. The first pic is from Sunday when I last closed it. The second shows it's near the fire hydrant where E Spicewood becomes S Spicewood. The third is from today when I was unable to remove the cover.

Section of the sidewalk on the east side of High St. is consistently underwater. Once the standing water drains, a thick coat of slippery mud is left. The specific location is just north of the hill heading south on the sidewalk.
Thanks!

Standing water on E. Maxwell Lane in the area between 1010 and 1016 E. Maxwell Lane. Ever since the fiber optic in-ground box was installed Fall 2024(seen in the attached picture) standing water remains in the road for a week or more after a rain. Seems to have created a very low spot in the roadway. Cars tend to drive around the water and into the oncoming lane. Immediately after rain the area of standing water is large enough that east bound traffic frequently has to stop for oncoming westbound traffic, creating effectively an area of one lane traffic. Perhaps the area of the road could be built up enough so as to restore the grading to allow the water to runoff into the gravel/grass.

A large and growing area of crumbling asphalt on the northwest corner of E. Maxwell Lane and Manor Dr. could use some repair. The road surface at this intersection is generally in need of repair. Storm water flow seems to be the primary culprit as storm water flows downhill south on Nanor Dr.

Our street, which is sloped downward from Dunn to N. Walnut, has water sluicing down Glendora in even a light rain. We have no storm drains or infrastructure to handle heavy rains except for the ditches some residents have dug on their own properties. I have such a ditch at 311 Glendora, and it runs very full and fast when it rains, keeping the street from flooding even more than it always does. My ditch has asphalt that is full of holes, so it needs patching- but that will only be a bandaid on what is a much larger problem... the fact that our neighborhood has no stormwater infrastructure. This causes basements to flood, and even one resident's basement wall to collapse under the floodwaters pouring down from Dunn St. Please contact me for more information, or direct me to the person who can help us. Thanks!
