I'm not sure anyone is going to see this that counts, and before it freezes tonight is best to clean it out. Good to call City Hall also,, before somebody slips and sues the City.
We are working to better address issues that had been reported as "other". There are several reasons that storm-drains backup. Some of the issues exist above the cover, some can be addressed through catch basin cleaning (a vacuum) and others need a re-design.
When initially closed it is likely that the debris above the drain were cleaned. All catch basins are cleaned (vacuumed) on a cyclical schedule and we have made it through the universe since initially reported.
If there is a current drainage problem at this location please report a new request in the "drainage request" category with as much detail about when the flooding occurs and how long it persists so that engineers can use this information to help to properly address the concern.
