City of Medford PLUS

Blocked storm drains on Cleveland, Mangles, Morrison, and Wilson can lead to flooding for residents down the hills on Clematis, Palmer, Belle, and Park. Can the city please clear ahead of the pending rain storms and melting?

The street drain at 179 Park St is too small, and it's the only one on the block.
It can't drain a large volume of water during heavy rains.

Most recently, during the storm on 6/14/2024, the whole street was flooded, water went over the sidewalks and into the 179 Park St parking lot. Concerned residents called 911 fearing flooding in the basement.

Water won’t go down

Drain not clearing No noticeable debris in the way..

This corner always floods during the rainy season. Today it was particularly full of water. When there are no left turners, it's avoidable, but if the intersection is full, cars must slow to safely cross. The ground is not visible under the water and so poses a hazard.

Tried calling DPW but couldn't get through

Our frequent drainage issue is severe today with heavy rains At noon, the entire road between 14 and 15 is flooded onto the sidewalks now and we have a few hours to go with heavy rain I recommend putting warning for cars not todrive down/cut through the street

I imagine even after the rain stops it will take a while to drain

Clogged storm drain not draining

Fire hydrant is leaking quite a bit.
