Originally flagged on 5/11/21 (# 9888775). Water is still flowing off the hill all year round and drains into the road 50 feet up from the nearest drain.

This is making for unsafe conditions, a blight on the road, eroding the hill and eating away around the drain as sharp corners are now exposed on the drain.

Cars are now going around it, in the opposite lane to get around it. Cars are slipping and missing the turn into the driveway and with winter coming this will be the same hazard as last year when it freezes.

Storm drains at the end of Schuyler are blocked

Storm drain clears slowly under normal circumstances. During the recent storm, it did not drain or bubble at all, leaving that portion of the street under significant standing water.

Significant street flooding is occurring after rain or snow melt. It is icing with colder temperatures. Significant fall risk.

Drainage issue near second streetlight on street is resulting in significant standing water after rain. This has sometimes resulted in significant icing of the street.

This drain is filled almost to the top with dirt and leaves and debris and does not catch the water coming down Ten Acre road which then comes into my yard and home

Recurring problem

There has yet to be a solution to this problem. A surveyor came out about a month ago to measure the slope and pitch of the driveway, expressing that a lip or driveway needs attention. No contact or anything after measuring. The storm drains on the road continue to fail and not drain the water as needed causing run off into my yard. This has been a constant recurring issue that is causing MAJOR damage to my yard and driveway that continues to be disregarded

Water running down hill an neighbors driveway. It ices up and is a potential hazard for us seniors backing out of driveway as well as traffic. Our driveway is on left blue truck.

There is MAJOR water runoff at the top of my driveway when it rains causing flooding, property damage and unsafe conditions/sink hole in my side/backyard, now pooling under driveway near cars. The water deterred to my yard is causing major erosion, now to the sides of driveway. There was a lip added to the top of driveway TWICE (told by previous owner) with no resolution to the water deposit. The whole street is getting new or replaced storm drains these past few weeks. All the driveways in proximity to these new drains are FLAT versus my driveway on a slant. This has been an issue for over 2 years now and nothing is being done about this. I have complained multiple times and I’m told its being resolved. As shown in pictures, this issue has progressed since august of 2021 with no resolution to the issue

Every time a storm comes, it pours down Ten Acre Rd and into my home at 952 Ridgewood Rd. I have thrown out so much furniture and belongings in the last 6 years. There is a drain in the street that is nearly full and part of the curb is missing which allows more water into my property and then into my home. Ive fixed the issues in my home numerous times(cementing holes, sub pump, drainage pipes) and it still keeps happening because it is literally like a river down Ten Acre into my home at 952 Ridgewood.
