Descrição
Severe flooding in front of Hopkins School whenever there is heavy rain. This causes traffic problems: stalled out cars in the middle of the road, people driving on the wrong side of the road--and this is a very busy, curvy, dark street. It also causes damage to our driveway and ours and neighbors' garages when the water overflows the street and runs downhill alongside our house. Rte. 122/Forest is a state road; the state DOT needs to be involved. From previous complaints I've learned the drainpipe for the road is supposed to be insufficient. However, the three streetside drains at the base of Hopkins' driveway (2 on W, 1 on E of Forest)never drain well, even after cleaning, which is also contributes.

I have been making calls and complaints about this problem for the 9 years I've lived at this address, and only made marginal headway. In two weeks, I have seen two direct positive results after posting on SeeClickFix:
1. in the last big storm, state or city DOT put up signs and flags put up to alert motorists about the water over the road and slow them down (my husband and I finally took the signs down days later, since no one came to do so--but that's all right).
2. as I write this, there's a crew out there clearing the three storm drains in the area that floods. Hurray! (Quote from one of the crew: "Man, this thing is pretty plugged up!")
