    346 Highland Avenue Salem, MA, 01970, USA - City of Salem
    Catch basin between Swampscott Road and Barcelona on southbound side of route 107 completely obstructed causing issue with flooding and bike path. While I realize it is a state highway, the city should still be responsible for safety of highway to get it cleared.
  • Pedestrian Overpass Highland Ave Salem MA 01970, United States - City of Salem
    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
  • 56 Forrester St Salem, MA 01970, USA - City of Salem

    The previous request was marked CLOSED but nothing was changed or fixed.

    Three basins along Forrester (near Emerton) have construction cloth lining them, all of which have several inches of dirt/mud built up. But the problem here is WE CAN'T HAVE THEM ON THIS STREET. We have flooding already when every basin is open. Now we get flooding any time it rains hard.
    Moreover: These filters aren't actually working as intended because once the the drains go past capacity any debris trapped by the cloth just gets pushed up and out those basins, disperses into the flooded street and eventually go down the more open drains.

    It would be one thing if these drains were catching all kinds of construction related debris, and then they got deposited into a dumpster or wherever, but they don't. They only contribute to more frequent flooding and then dump out any debris all at once.

    We need them 100% REMOVED. Not looked into, or have better monitoring, but removed.

    Thinking contractors are going to monitor these when it rains is nonsensical, first and foremost, because it assumes they'd even be here during any given storm. No one is going to rush out a 2AM to check on the drains at their jobsite. Please have them remove them asap, before we get additional storms coming through.
