Burlington, VT PLUS

Area has very large pool of water when ever it rains. This is not just a winter issue. It occurs year-round.

The middle stretch of Green acres lacks a drain. A few of us have tried to shovel out the drain on the north Ave side of the street where all this water should drain to but it seems like the middle of the street might be lower than the drain.

Can the city investigate adding a second drain somewhere along the middle stretch to catch some of this water?

Issue with ground water being pumped onto the street which then flows to the grate on the corner and overflows into the middle of Crescent Terrace. In the winter, it causes ice and in the summer, there is a slippery green substance along the gutter. Since the snow and rain storm, it is quite dramatic. Is there a solution to this?

Since 2006 or beyond the city sewer pipe backs up and overflows into my basement at 201 N. Willard. Yes, we have a backflow check valve and have our line cleaned by BP septic or P and P twice a year. I would love a permanent solution.
Thanks,

There is a puddle that has formed at the end of his driveway in the street and would like it taken care of before winter so it doesn't freeze. Been happening for about a year now. I believe it was after road was paved

After every rain, puddle on shelburne road at clymer after new paving Not great now , Will be bad mess in winter

This area in front of El Cortijo has turned into a DEEP puddle after rain storms or snow thaw for more than 10 years. It's really unsightly and gross at best, and worst very dangerous when it freezes. This has been brought to the city's attention repeatedly over the years and it's beyond time that it's addressed.

Water keeps pooling on the sidewalk in front of residence. She stated puddle has frozen during winter and she put cones out, very dangerous. She feels there is an issue with the sidewalk as she has looked down the street and there is no puddling in any other area of street.

Drain structure collapsing on sidewalk near City Market. On South Winooski Ave.

Newly paved, but large puddle after each rain storm will be a mess you’re around, but especially come winter

This is a persistent issue. It is 50 today, but this regularly freezes and creates a significant hazard. Has been reported before and dismissed when the one time someone came to look it took so long that it dried up and was noted as resolved. It will be a persistent problem again all winter.
