I sent a 311 request into the City over a week ago and in relation to my request I have a question. I live on an inside corner lot and I've noticed that the street slopes towards our corner. We have a problem with melt water accumulating in our corner (my house and my two neighbours.) The water pools on the street and on a portion of our sidewalk. Our corner is also well shaded so we still have a good deal of snow and ice. Because of the pooling water it has been very difficult to maintain our sidewalk to be free of ice. I've requested that the city plow the remaining snow out of our corner but nothing has been done.
After looking at things further I've noticed that there are no sewer drains nearby. If I were to make a request to have a sewer drain put in our corner is that something that could actually be done by the city in a reasonable amount of time (ie. before next year?) I'm actually surprised that I haven't noticed the lack of drains before.
