City of Salem PLUS

Snow is completely covering the storm drain making water pool asdeeph as 11in on the road at the exit of Forest River park.

There is always a flooded section of the road (leaving Swampscott) at the curve by the golf driving range at the slightest amount of rain On more than one occasion I have had so much water come over my windshield and I was driving blind for a couple seconds It is a serious safety hazard In the daytime you can see it but at night there are no street lights and it is hidden A head on collision could easily happen here

Basin is filled with leaves. As the rain and snow season makes it more difficult to rake and clean up as a volunteer, the basins need to be cleaned out by the city

This basin as well as the others with this nylon lining and full of debris, such that any heavy storm will overwhelm them. If these are meant to keep construction debris out of the system, they'll fail because once they get backed up, all the debris will float back into the road and down the remaining open drains (along with flooding the nearby areas).

That said, it's doubtful what's in there is construction related anyway because two of the three lined basins are on the other side of the street from where the building is happening. These two linings serve no purpose and are limiting water drainage on an already problematic corner. They need to be removed, not ignored.

Clogged solid after every rain, huge puddles. Preventive maintenance goes a long way. Ample notice before winter sets in and a slip and fall accident occurs

Snow is coving street drain causing a massive puddle

There is no catch basin on Emerald Ave, leaving us with an iced over street that is totally unsafe. The street is left impassable for any potential emergency vehicles. Please install adequate drainage on my street. I sent a request for assistance to snow@salem.com today, but I don't know if anyone is monitoring it.
