Description

Even though this intersection was recently rebuilt, in heavy rains (more than 1/2"/hr for any period of time), the drainage and crowning are insufficient to take off the standing water, and amounts dangerous to traffic build up in the slow lane both NB on 49th St -- worst at and past the pedestrian island -- and WB on 9th Ave, past the CVS parking lot.

It's easy to get 3-4" of standing water in both of these locations after an hour or two of rain -- such as we've had the last 2 weeks, and have more of coming regardless of which side of the peninsula TS Chantal passes along.

I will attach images and.or video to this ticket the next time we have appreciable rain in that area -- that should be within 48 hours, right? :-)
