Reply to comment by kingintheyunk in 44th & Powelton/Market always floods when it rains by diatriose

there are mitigation techniques and different types of pavement that can help ameliorate the issues. the city will give rain boxes, they planted some on market street (although i doubt for drainage issues.)

but it would be nice if part of the licensing for corner stores is to have a garbage can. i feel like a lot of casual litter comes from stores like that.

Yes, but mitigation techniques won’t stop a low point from flooding if there’s a draining issue.

for sure- i'm just pointing it out because sometimes solutions are boring, sometimes they're cool, but most of the time they're like 80% boring and 20% cool. so yeah- reducing litter, regularly cleaning the drains, enlarging ones that need it, are all part of the boring solutions, then yeah you can get some planter boxes in the street (which i think is the cool part)
