In an effort to systematically improve storm drainage for residents, Streets and Drainage Crews cleared years worth of debris and overgrowth in a large stretch of area including Jordan Park, Sadie Johnson and Oakland Avenue.
This area receives substantial storm run off from low lying areas to the South, and drainage blockages have caused water back-up for residents for decades.
City workers removed trampolines, tires, bar-b-que grills, and countless other items, as well as logs and railroad cross ties that were blocking effective drainage.
