The storm water drainage-ditch next to Providence Road is in desperate need of flood control and drainage service. This critical road provides traffic relief from busy Princess Anne Road. In addition, this vital side street supports the areas first responders (Police, Fire, and Ambulances), school buses and provides access to numerous residential neighborhoods and homes. Over the years, an accumulation of vegetation and sediment has created a situation where proper storm water drainage is negatively impacted and compromises motorist and residents safety. Routinely under periods of heavy rainfall, the bend in Providence Road between Selwood Drive and Birks Lane has water running over the roadway surface.

Request for service includes excavation of the storm water drainage-ditch to effectively remove vegetation and years of sediment build-up. In turn, the excavated area will be better equipped to deal with the storm water by safely directing the flow of water into the North Landing River instead of over Providence Road.
