Atlantic Avenue in Spadina-Fort York is a little better today because somebody said something, neighbours stood behind it, and the city finished the work. That is how this is supposed to work.

This street's story: 11 city catch basins and 12 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 on the road surface and sidewalk edge in an approximately 4-6 feet long by 2-3 feet wide area, with a metal drainage grate visible adjacent to the pooling. The wet asphalt indicates the catch basin or storm drain is blocked or not functioning, and the reporter notes this ponding occurs every time it rains. This creates a tripping hazard on the wet sidewalk and potential for water backup during heavy precipitation.

Description · in the reporter's words

Ponding occurs in this spot every time it rains.
