Washington st. underpass completely flooded and cut off. Future access to new station behind Cataldo also flooded.
Seems like it's the second or third time this Summer.
I know the weather is getting more extreme but they've been working on drainage here for 5 years and it seems to be no better.
Am I missing something? Has the new system not come on line yet, is it clogged with construction debris, or is it just woefully inadequate?
JT Scott, the Ward 2 city councilor, has a really good writeup about all of the projects either underway or in the pipeline. It's a good read. If it all goes according to plan, there'll be capacity to impound 10 million gallons of runoff in the area by 2027 and some of it is going to be funded by private developers but built and coordinated by the city.
