Pinellas County PLUS

There is a county ditch behind all these trees. This area has not been trimmed back for at least 15 years.with the exception of repairing electric lines after storm. The growth is slowly swallowing the lake.

This issue and been reported before. When it rains the water becomes a small lake by my driveway. Many times all this dirt accumulates between my house and my neighbor. My driveway is covered in dirt. I am 65 and i can shovel this anymore. My neighbor started shoveling this morning...it is too much. Please fix.

The ditch on the west side of ridge road is not allowing water to discharge into the storm water system. Water backs up along 115th St N and 116th Ave N.

I requested this a month before the hurricane. Our ditch looks like this all the time! Help. We have tadpoles in our ditch for crying out loud.

The Ditch has been obstructed for over a week. It has a history of becoming obstructed after heavy rain which floods the streets. Whenever the contracted company mows that area they leave the clippings in the ditch. Now the ditch won't even drain after light rain fall AND we are having a mosquito infestation which we never had before. We rarely seen mosquitoes now, they are everywhere outside and biting all members of my household after being outside for a few minutes during the day time. I have made a complaint last year fall when the streets flooded due to this ditch and the homes a few streets down behind me after the hurricane and nothing was done. Now this ditch won't drain and there are mosquitoes EVERYWHERE. Please come out and drain it or clean it out of all the leftover debris that has been building up for over 1 year!

There is overgrown vegetation, tree branches and people’s trash obstructing the water flow. This is causing mosquito and no-see-em issues. Pinellas county surveyed the land and said they sent notices to residence to remove item blocking the easement so they could manage the problem, but nothing has been done. It’s been years since this has been maintained. Please consider filling in easement or scheduling regular maintenance like other areas receives .

Tree on east side of ditch has fallen to the west side, blocking the ditch and uprooting additional foliage.

The problem with this area water doesn’t drain it’s all plugged up it needs a good cleaning.

The ditch in the county is easement has trees growing in it. Water flow is restricted. Coyotes hide in brush that's growing. There are snakes in the ditch. It is also going to be an issue for the mosquitoes. I've been patient because of the hurricanes, but this is affecting my lawn now. Please help and maybe find a permanent solution to this.

The canal behind my home (South Side) has a large tree limb in it. Also, the right of way maintained by the county has several large piles of tree debris, and a large tree branch that hangs over the right of way has broken and is partially obstructing the right of way. The tree branch debris has attracted the dumping of additional debris by some who do not live in this neighborhood.
