This street's story: 8 city catch basins and 10 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 catch basin on Gerrard Street East is heavily clogged with debris, leaves, dirt, and pigeon droppings, blocking the metal grate and preventing storm water drainage. The adjacent sidewalk curb joint has similar heavy accumulation of debris and droppings, creating a sanitation hazard and posing a flooding risk during rain events.

Description · in the reporter's words

Drain clogged with debris and pigeon droppings, sidewalk covered in pigeon droppings
