This street's story: 11 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

Standing water is pooling across approximately 15-20 feet of the sidewalk and street curb area on Freeland Street, with the metal drainage grate at the curb edge blocked and water not draining despite moderate depth of several inches. The stagnant conditions create a slip hazard for pedestrians and potential mosquito breeding concerns.

Description · in the reporter's words

The road is badly sloped so the water Doesnt actually deain
