In a recent government meeting, community members expressed ongoing concerns regarding water drainage issues in their area, particularly after heavy rainfall and during winter months. Residents reported that following significant rain, they often resort to manual efforts, such as sweeping water away, to alleviate ponding problems. While some drainage improvements have been made, including drilled holes in curbs, these measures have proven insufficient, especially during winter when snow and ice accumulation becomes problematic.

One resident highlighted the challenges posed by the landscape, suggesting that without substantial alterations, such as raising the area or installing proper drainage systems, the situation is unlikely to improve. They proposed that a potential solution could involve creating a gravel pit with a grate to facilitate drainage, although they expressed skepticism about the feasibility of such an approach.

Concerns were also raised about the environmental impact of any drainage solutions, particularly the risk of contaminated water affecting local gardens. The discussion underscored the need for a comprehensive plan to address the drainage issues, with suggestions for modifications to sidewalks to incorporate drainage solutions.

As the meeting concluded, participants acknowledged the complexity of the problem and the necessity for collaboration with local authorities to explore viable drainage options that would prevent further water accumulation and protect the community's green spaces.
