Description

When we get a moderate rain fall like we did on 9/6/20 the ditches on 58th St N between 22nd Ave & 30th Ave N backup then the neighborhood floods. I have emailed the last several mayors and they did absolutely nothing about it. The ditches need to be dredged and then cemented so water will flow correctly.

also asked...
Q. What flooding problem are you reporting? (choose one of the following)
A. Roadway Flooding
Q. Describe the location of the flooding (where and approximately how deep was the flood water?)
A. Floods from 58th St N to 55th St N due to the ditches over flowing. Don't know how deep the water just on 55th St N backs up halfway up our lawn.
Q. How long did the flooding last? Please provide the date(s) and time(s)
A. This happens every time we get a hard rain & it's worse when a hurricane comes through since 1979.
Q. Has flooding occurred at this location at other times in the past? If so, how frequently?
A. Every year since 1979. Cement the ditches on 58th St N and this would stop I'm sure
Q. Please provide any additional comments or information, such as if this event was caused by severe weather or tidal activity? Was there movement to the flood water? Was the flooded area close to a storm drain? If known, please provide the finished floor elevation of your home as well as any other property-related details.
A. It's been happening since 1979. Cement the ditches on 58th St N and this should stop especially with just a normal rain storm. The water can't flow like it should cause these ditches have too much grass, weeds, flowers and such that keep any water from flowing
