This street's story: 15 city catch basins and 9 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 the road and bike lane at this location, with multiple catch basins in the area failing to clear water during and after rainfall. The pooling creates hazards for cyclists by obscuring obstacles and for pedestrians due to slipping risk and splash from vehicles. The catch basins serving this area average 133 years old and are not effectively draining the accumulated water.
