Description

Constant flooding in this low spot in the alley between 920 W Sheridan and 917 W Dakin results in water entering both buildings. A keyway was recently cut down the alley which had no effect as this is a low point in the alley. It needs another layer of pavement to eliminate the depressed area where surface water collects during each rain. There are no downspouts contributing to the problem-it is all from surface water.
