From the driveway.

The South side or Richton is an issue most of the way, especially the middle section. This lot in the picture has no underground culvert, just a filled in drainage ditch and culverts are clogged up both East and West. It always floods here. Proper curbs, gutters, street drains and closed culverts are the real solution on both sides of the street.

Actually that's not quite right. I own that lot, and there is a culvert under the sunken ditch. It was cement years before I owned it (with a drain/grate at each end), and when the city did new water mains (10 years ago?) they dug it up and replaced it with plastic culvert. But the single drain that the crew put back was never properly installed, and it has now disappeared completely in the new digging for gas lines.

The main drainage issue is that with the new construction, most of the newly installed culverts were set higher than the old ones, making my middle section of street the low point.

There are also several folks to the west who have filled in the open ditches between their driveways, presumably for safety, but it prevents proper drainage to Kirby.
