We’ve lived here for decades. The sewer drain across the street and directly to the west overflow with even an hour of rain. These are old, limestone houses, so most of us park in the street or one car in the driveway. We’re all , mostly,60-75 yr old people. It’s not only so dark outside, if it rains, it’s absolutely brutal trying to navigate the curb, because the water is so deep. Winter is almost here, that’s even worse. I realize we don’t live in the rich neighborhoods, but we are all mostly IU educated people, we pay taxes. Our neighborhood doesn’t get snowplows for days. We are kind, old beatnik people, we have lived here for decades. If could please look at the drains, install a street light, and salt the streets this winter, we would greatly appreciate it. We love living here. Please and thank you.

Please review the drainage at the east end of E Thornton Dr, near E Arden Dr and High St. During heavy rains, runoff flows over the end of the culdesac, to the east, across 5 back yards, before flowing into street drainage at the east end of 2005 E Arden Dr. A neighbor at 2005 E Arden DR, who has since moved, took it upon themselves to dig a ditch into the yard to channel the flow. This ditch changed the slow moving swampy meadow waters into a high speed rivulet, which is gradually eating its way upstream into our yard at 2001 E Arden Dr. As you walk the drainage path from Thornton, you will see that neighbors have tried to contain the flow using mats and various things. I don't think the development of Thornton drive properly addressed the runoff from that street. We'd rather not have a ditch in our yard, as the value in that area during most of the year is as a walkable lawn. The custom ditch at 2005 has been a nuisance for the current owner. If necessary, I would attempt a french drain solution, but this seems to be a problem resulting from negligent planning of the Thornton development.

The lack of proper drainage runoff on this block of Mitchell keeps causing the gravel on my driveway to wash away. I have had to replenish it many times and it always washes away. This is now causing damage to cars when entering or exiting the driveway. Can the city please install proper drainage?

Intense rain is creating runoff from the prevailing property (3220) into our yard and the neighbors yard (further downhill - strong sewer smell). This smell has been noticeable on the front of the property in previous rainstorms, this is the first time we've noticed the smell through into our yard and the neighbors.

water runoff during rain storms and what the county allows me to do as far as making ditch more attractive and less of an eyesore +work better during downpours.
