Just wanted to bring to your attention that there's some standing water issues here to add to your list! See photo.
The drainage ditch behind our property and to the east was never properly engineered to handle all the water from rains and multiple neighborhoods.It overflows and leaves properties too wet to mow for weeks as well as the trees standing in the water are dying and falling which is a dangerous situation for the neighborhood. This standing water is a health and safety hazard as a breeding ground for mosquitoes.And it can not be mowed properly .The neighborhood applied for a grant last year but it was denied.It has been dug out a few years ago by the city but without proper method used to apply rock to maintain the ditch open the problem just re occurs with it growing over and does not stay open to handle the water and it floods again .

Culvert is clogged and needs to be cleaned out for better draining
There is no drainage for the alley between Fess and Henderson in the 800 block and it continues to flood and make the alley impassable. This has been ongoing for years. Neighbors back yards flood from the lack of proper drainage.
Rain runoff from city street caused my basement to flood (again for the 3rd time) and my neighbors basement to flood again.
The storm drain in front of 816 has mostly filled with silt again, the drain is overflowing with water even in the light rain
There are multiple drainage issues in this area. The 2 outlets from the stormwater drain are partially covered (just west of the storm drain across Monon Dr). I’m not sure if the drain under the road is clear. The area floods readily with any rain. The ditch that runs west is blocked by leaves where it goes under a driveway and by debris closer to clear creek (at the end of hillside). Because this is one of the only drains/outlets/drainage ditches in the area it’s important to get it cleaned out. Can you help?
