Below are some points of observation and discussion in our neighborhood:

Dawson Drainage ditch

This is a municipal drainage system that is not maintained. From what we understand this major drainage path should be maintained by the city. The years of overgrowth, shrubs, garbage and other debis. Off-grade. In heavy rains it is backing up and almost at backyard property level. This has happened now a couple times in 2019/2020.

Previous to the past 2/3 years, residents have never seen this ditch back up like this.

Approximately 8 years since last cleanup.

This ditch needs to be improved and maintained to protect our homes. Should this not be deeper than our basements as this is a main municipal drainage path that is allowing water to infiltrate into our properties?
