Repair Stormwater Drain

Description

There is a collapsed storm drain at the corner of Gloucester and West Laburnum. This was confirmed when the city hired a contractor to send a camera down the storm drain to confirm over 3 years ago. It floods our street and yard EVERY time it rains. The flooding erodes the asphalt and giant potholes repeatedly form, which the city is constantly repairing. We would like the storm drain issue fixed once and for all. It has been over 4 years now ...We have also contacted our city council member repeatedly over the last 2 years and this issue has never once been addressed. Can we get an update on this please? The corner continues to flood every time it rains and there have been a handful of near accidents as cars slide into the intersection when they slide on wet fallen leaves. Last update on Richmond 311 was August 25. Corner continues to flood. Can someone please give us a status update? Looks like there was some activity by the city in Augus, but we have not heard anything.
