When the Second St. dead-end was created to build the Betsy Ross School, it created a drainage nightmare. Although it has 2 storm-drains/catch-basins, massive amounts of debris pile up there after each major storm, such that in only ONE month the catch-basin grates are covered and there is a huge pile of trash, decomposed leaves, etc.
About 8 years ago I finally realized that it NEVER would be swept unless I raked the mess out the day before street-sweeping, set aside large branches and anything else too big for the sweeper, then spread the rest out with rake and shovel, up to the corner of Greenwich Ave., so it can be swept up. This requires the sweeper to go over it several times to get it all--which the driver of No. 115 did just now.
So Thanks!
