This street's story: 14 city catch basins and 13 manholes serve this block. A blocked catch basin is the usual reason a curb floods like this.

The case we sent

Report details · AI-written, reviewed by the reporter

A sinkhole approximately 1.5–2 feet wide and 1–1.5 feet deep has formed near the curb and catch basin at this active intersection, filled with dark soil, debris, and standing water. The depression indicates a likely blockage or failure in the underlying storm drain system. This creates a tripping hazard for pedestrians and cyclists, and risks vehicle suspension damage or further roadway collapse.
