Beschreibung
Every time it rains there are small lakes in front of the pedestrian access points to the intersection of Whitney and Sachem. The water also gathers along the edge of the road on Whitney for some way meaning that cars splash huge waves of water on pedestrians walking along Whitney. This happens virtually every time it rains significantly. This is by no means the only intersection but certainly one of the worst. I don't know if this is just clogged storm drains or a deeper problem in the design of the street, but please address this in whatever way possible. Thanks, Max

Yesterday, after 0.2 inches of rain in the morning there was already a large amount of water blocking the pedestrian crosswalk. Of course once it poured later in the day it got much worse. Photo is from 11:45am yesterday.
Does anyone know which department or official is responsible for addressing this?

Puddles in the street after it rains? When I saw this reported issue, I was sure it was intended to be a joke, but apparently it is not. If I remember correctly, I learned when I was about 4 years old not to stand or walk near puddles that cars would be driving through.
I noticed the title of this issue, "Non-functional drainage". I went to the location and discovered there is no storm drain on the east side of Whitney Avenue at the location in the picture above. There is one storm drain approximately 150 feet north of the picture and another one approximately 250 feet south of the picture, but that doesn't matter because the location of the crosswalk in the picture is in a dip in the road. Water won't go where gravity won't take it.
I really hope nobody outside of Connecticut sees this ticket. It fits the stereotype a lot of people have about us. I can hear my friends from other parts of the world laughing at me now. "Oh, Tommy, watch out for the rain puddles while going on your Yale pheasant hunting excursion and please don't forget to have your afternoon tea!"
Come on folks, grow a pair and find something that is actually worthy of attention.
