This street's story: 7 city catch basins and 5 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

Standing water is pooling in the bike lane along Sherbourne Street due to a blocked or ineffective storm drain, creating a safety hazard for cyclists who must navigate through the accumulated water. The visible drainage grate indicates the storm drain is not functioning properly.
