Street floods. Water won’t go down and sinks backing up in houses

This house for years, has had water seeping out of a pipe under their sidewalk, out into their driveway, down the street. It floods the street. In the winter time it ices over and causes extremely slippery conditions. This is it ongoing issue that has occurred for years.

Mostly leaves and such (which should be removed too because they hinder proper drainage) but there is also a plastic drink cup lid which is toxic to wildlife should it make its way into the Mystic River, which is imminent given its precarious perch.

Storm drain clogged at Capen St playground- causing flooding of playground.

Lake Marion is back Will this issue ever be addressed?

For months (years?) I have noticed a large puddle in the street in front of the old Hervey School building. This does not seem to be weather related as it's there most of the time . Not sure if it’scoming from underground or related to the automatic sprinklers in the lawn of the apartment building, but it can't be good for the street.

ever since the construction on this property, there seem to be a lot of drainage issues along the road and sidewalk, including puddles days after a rain and the constant running of a neighboring sump pump emptying onto the sidewalk. Once it gets cold enough to freeze, this is going to be a hazard to pedestrians. Did something get broken during construction?

There's broken glass and trash all along 171 Washington Street including trash blocking the drain. There is also an abandoned shopping carriage across the street that's been there for a few weeks too.

This storm drain was reported over a year ago and is getting much worse- it is sinking deeper down and becoming a hazard
