Report Details

AI-generated, reviewed by reporter

A large sinkhole approximately 3-4 feet long and 2 feet deep has formed beside the sidewalk on Ellesmere Road, filled with standing water, mud, and debris, creating a tripping hazard for pedestrians. The depression indicates a possible drainage system failure or blockage, as it is located near a catch basin and sewer infrastructure. The surrounding catch basins in the area average 66 years old, suggesting aging infrastructure may be contributing to drainage issues.
