Description
Water compdiwn Tower Avenue is not being captured by this storm drain. This is partly due to the leaves clogging the grate, but also always because the water is passing between the curb and the grate. You can see the curb has been built out before. This should be added to again to reach the edge of the drain cover. Water missing this drain contriti street water on Lexington Avenue and flooding down at the intersection of Burnside and Concord. Thank you for attending to this.

Thank you for your good work in our neighborhood in the past.
This is a very easy, quick and inexpensive "repair" which you did several years ago but has since worn down. All that is needed is a bit of asphalt placed between the curb and the storm drain to direct the water flowing down Tower Avenue to actually go in to the storm drain here.
This will help alleviate some of the flooding down on Lexington, Burnside and Concord Avenues, which I have noted in two other submissions on this site.
I am available to show you what I mean anytime that works for you. Please call me at 617-529-7414.
Thank you, Mark Pantridge.
