This street's story: 17 city catch basins and 15 manholes serve this block. Water that does not drain works into a seam in the road, and that is how a crack becomes a pothole.

The case we sent

Report details · AI-written, reviewed by the reporter

A storm drain grate at this location is partially submerged in standing water due to blockage or poor drainage in the catch basin, with water pooled significantly around it. The asphalt shows stress cracks radiating outward from the drain, indicating water infiltration and potential subsurface erosion that creates a trip hazard. During rain events, this drainage failure may cause localized flooding.

Description · in the reporter's words

Large pothole. It is very Risky for people and cars. It is Very deep. It is raining now and is full of rain
