Resident urges city help after years of flooding at canal near boat dock
Summary
A Colona resident identified as Mr. Gale told the council chronic flooding at canal locks has left his basement waterlogged and forced continuous sump-pump use; he said two boards blocking flow should be removed for safety and drainage.
Mr. Gale, introduced during the public-comment period, described recurring flooding at the canal locks by the boat dock and said his sump pumps have been running constantly for two years.
He said he recently spent about $4,000 on a discharge system and asked the council to help remove two boards that he says are obstructing flow. He also raised a safety concern: children and bicyclists must cross the street because the tunnel is filled with water. The council chair acknowledged the complaint and offered to connect Mr. Gale with officials for follow-up.
