    Drainage issue, water pools on road and sidewalks doesn't make it to the catch basin. This is particularly an issue in freezing temperatures.
  • 20 Nichols Street Salem, MA, 01970, USA - City of Salem
    My neighbor at 22 Nichols St. Installed a sump pump I assume and the discharge pipe runs from inside the house to the edge of the sidewalk so whatever discharge water comes out across the sidewalk then down the gutter on the street. This has caused a unsafe ice buildup across my driveway and my neighbors driveway at 18 Nichols St. Is there regulations about sump pump discharge running down a city street just because of this happening? Please help it has created a unsafe situation let alone possible contaminated water running down the street. I have lived here 27 years and have never encountered this problem before

  • 58 Appleton Street Salem, Massachusetts, 01970 - City of Salem
    Storm drain between 60 and 58 Appleton appears to have been covered/no longer there. May need to be reopened to assist with drainage during storms
  • 144 Washington St Salem MA 01970, United States - City of Salem
    The drain does not drain at all and needs to be cleaned out with the drain cleaning machine
  • 29 Crowdis Street Salem, Massachusetts, 01970 - City of Salem
    Water floods yard from street runoff. May need additional drainage.
  • 18 Brown Street Salem, MA, 01970, USA - City of Salem
    I know that a lot of effort was just put into fixing the drainage at the corner of Brown Street and Brown Street Ct, but the problem still persists. The catch basin needs to be lowered a couple of inches and the surrounding pavement needs to be sloped towards the basin.
  • 33 Cabot Street Salem, MA, 01970, USA - City of Salem
    There is a catch basin that has been damaged for some time. Last summer it was marked with paint. This morning while shoveling my sidewalk I noticed there is now a large hole at the location. Please see photos for dimensions.
  • 161 Fort Avenue Salem, MA, 01970, USA - City of Salem
    Blocked catch basin, corner of Sutton and Bayview Avenues, northwest side of Sutton, (park side). Picture taken Friday 1/31/25 apx 4:30 pm, very light rain falling. Expanding the picture it is apparent that the grate is not blocked. This item was recently reported, investigated and determined to be functioning properly. It is obvious that a drainage problem still exists.
    This area of Bayview Avenue is prone to severe flooding multiple times per year.
    The incorrect address of 161 Fort Avenue was auto filled.
    Many thanks for attention to this problem.

    Catch basins blocked with snow and ice, plus the water can’t move over the speed humps
  • 10 Hillside Avenue Salem, MA, 01970, USA - City of Salem
    Street is flooded. We dug through snow bank which helped a little. Water running into yards across the street. Needs more digging to drain.

    Shillaber St Salem, MA, 01970, USA - City of Salem

    Is it possible to put a solar powered speed limit sign on Shillaber St. near the Burke St. intersection?

    It is a narrow street and it is poorly lit.

    There are individuals driving 40mph plus, with a near head on collision accident occurring frequently near home owners vehicles.

    This pedestrian crossing sign is at a very busy intersection. It is equipped with flashing lights but in my 10 plus crossings per week, as a pedestrian, I have never seen the lights working. I hope this can be rectified. Thank you.
