Summary

Council members and residents described intersections that flood regularly, causing vehicle damage; staff said some problem locations are on state-controlled roads and added drainage fixes to the capital priorities list.

Residents described repeated flooding at specific intersections and said the problem sometimes ruins vehicle engines when water pools deep enough to cause intake problems. A business owner noted crews sometimes clear the line but the issue persists.

Chair and Dominic said staff will include drainage items in the capital facilities list and follow up with the state transportation agency where the intersections fall under state jurisdiction. Dominic cautioned that fixing drainage may involve engineering, rights-of-way and funding steps that should be prioritized in the draft plan.
