I live right near this on Pagewood, several homes almost flood every time it rains. Please fix this ASAP!!!

I live on the corner of Pagewood and Ann Arbor and agree that this drain needs urgent attention. It has been a drainage issue for a number of years. It is not just an event like Harvey that causes the problem. Any significant rainfall results in the streets and lawns flooding up. This issue has gradually worsened over the years due to the fact that the problem has not been properly addressed, investigated or resolved. There is nothing visible at ground level to indicate the drains are blocked therefore the issue must be underground and a more comprehensive underground inspection would be required. If this is not taken care of soon, houses in this area WILL flood. To add to this problem, the field at Briarmeadow Charter School (on Dunvale) backs onto properties at the south end of Ann Arbor and the rainfall there has started to drain into the back yards of these houses and the dead end on Windswept. (I have video of this which I can submit if needed) This water then rushes down driveways onto Ann Arbor and adds to the water level problem here at the Pagewood Lane/Ann Arbor.

I live on Pagewood and this drain has been plugged for years. Many houses on the street almost flooded due to this drain.....Please fix!
Thank you!

I live on Pagewood, five houses from the corner of Ann Arbor shown in the photo posted by BP above. Due to the stopped up drainage at Ann Arbor and Pagewood, the water rises so high (over the curb and frequently over the sidewalk and up into my yard) every time there is a hard rain preventing me from being able to get to or leave my home by car until the rain stops and the water resides. This has been going on since at least 2001 and needs to be addressed. Please clean out our blocked/clogged drains before the next big rain and more homes are flooded.

Thank you Cindy!! Pleaytell everyone to vote on this.

Please fix this ongoing serious problem ASAP

The drain on both ends of Pagewood Ann Arbor and Freshmeadow need to be cleared. The drainage is so slow that the houses closest to the corner are always in danger of flood even on just a bad rain.

I agree. Besides being a flooding risk, it's also unsafe; emergency vehicles aren't able to get through. This roadway intersection becomes impassible in heavy rain.

Please fix this as soon as possible. Emergency vehicles are prevented from getting to our neighborhood by this chronic drainage problem. Also, homes and vehicles are needlessly exposed to flooding. Let's fix this before a true disaster occurs.

Drain very slow. Please fix.

It is the City's responsibility to maintain our storm sewers for the safety of the community. This has been a significant problem for several years. The City now has actual notice of the problem. Get it fixed before someone's property is unnecessarily damaged and legal action is taken.

I live on Pagewood between StoneyBrook and Ann Arbor. Every time we have a moderate to severe rain, the street floods, starting at the intersection of Ann Arbor and Pagewood. Please clear whatever seems to be causing the blockage and preventing rainwater from draining as it should. Thank you!

Holds water when every other street has drained down.

Sirs,.... the system isn't functioning as designed. Even a moderate rain overwhelms the drain and it doesn't go down until between a 1/2 hour and an hour. At some point soon, now that the Harvey street stuff is winding down, can the city run a camera down there?

Your request to Houston 311 has been accepted. Your service request ID is #226199.

Not sure why this issue keeps on being closed and marked as resolved when nothing has been done? This IS an issue that requires consultation with residents and an in-depth investigation.

I think we need to call 311 the next time it rains to report this claim then. My guess is that they are coming out and investigating in sunny weather.

I AGREE WITH BOTH OF YOU....
