Let's not forget that Kansas City is due for BILLIONS worth of water/storm drain sewer infrastructure EPA FEDERALLY MANDATED improvement.
Mayor Sly has already increased taxes for this effort to "reform and repair" KC infrastructure.
Sadly . . .
TONIGHT IT'S CLEAR THAT KANSAS CITY WATER AND SEWER INFRASTRUCTURE IS STILL OLD AND BUSTED GIVEN SO MANY MINI-FLOODS THROUGHOUT KC PROPER THANKS TO JUST A BIT OF RAIN!!!!
Even better . . .
TONIGHT LET'S CALL OUT MINI-FLOODS THROUGHOUT KANSAS CITY THANKS TO OLD AND BUSTED KANSAS CITY STORM DRAINS!!!
A lot of Southwest Blvd is underwater.
- There's a pool collecting on Main near Starbucks that's about 3 feet high right now.
- The Plaza is mostly awash in sewer pools.
- A few notable puddles collecting in Waldo as 75th is more like river crossing right now.
- Brookside near UMKC has a new swimming pool tonight.
Post your reports as fans of Mayor Sly and 4th District Council members attempt to deny that they've totally dropped the ball on any sort of longstanding water infrastructure repair this town needs.
Developing . . .
Don't forget hyde park. Everybody else does
ReplyDeleteMother nature is just giving the place a good douche
ReplyDeleteToy train will magically repair this kind of stuff.
ReplyDeleteI've taken refuge in the cockpit of the Roasterie plane!
ReplyDeleteThere are a couple of guys surfing in Indian Creek between State Line and Wornall.
You shouldn't criticize Jan Marcason. She got the Don't Feed The Ducks signs installed in Loose Park. Greatest councilman ever!
ReplyDeleteYou guys crack me up LOL! It's amazing how KC resident take our horrible sewers for granted.
ReplyDeleteI feed the geese all the time in loose park. Ducks too. Screw that sign.
ReplyDeleteWe need a toy train. That will fix it.
ReplyDeleteYou forgot Brush Creek flooding.
ReplyDeleteOr do we just call it Flush Creek now?
103rd st is flooding.
ReplyDeleteThere is an EPA agreement with the city regarding our fucked dual sewer system.
ReplyDeletePart of the agreement is that the CITY WILL USE STREET SWEEPERS TO KEEP OUR STORM DRAINS FROM CATCHING TRASH.
http://epa.gov/compliance/resources/cases/civil/cwa/kansascity.html
(Kansas City, Kan., - May 18, 2010) The City of Kansas City, Mo., has agreed to make extensive improvements to its sewer systems, at a cost estimated to exceed $2.5 billion over 25 years, to eliminate unauthorized overflows of untreated raw sewage and to reduce pollution levels in urban stormwater, the Justice Department and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced today.
WHEN IS THE LAST TIME ANY OF US SAW A STREET SWEEPER? I submit to Council that we are in violation of our signed settlement.
but that new logo is sure swell!
Well chuck that is nothing new it's been doing that after a rain since I was a little kid. I remember when it would go over 69 highway which is now called Metcalf
ReplyDeleteWas that back when it was a dirt road?
ReplyDeleteflooded by the downtown airport @8pm. down to one lane.
ReplyDeleteGross, all this heavy rain is doing is spreading sewage and hepatitis all over the city.
ReplyDeleteSewage in westside basement.
ReplyDeleteBut we are getting a streetcar.
ReplyDeleteDrive around at night when the temperature drops and you can smell the busted drains.
ReplyDeleteI've tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried to let the 311 Action Center know about our crumbling roads and sewers. It's the ultimate black hole. Everything goes in but we see nothing in return. All is fine according to the City leaders.
ReplyDeleteExtra storm water coming in under my garage door right now!
ReplyDeleteI meant 103rd and Wornall Superdave.
ReplyDeleteThere's a term in Hawaii for taking your board out in sewage-fouled waters: surfin' da turd.
ReplyDeleteLOL been flooding there just as long chuck.
ReplyDeleteMetcalf and what use to be US 69 highway hasn't been a dirt/gravel road since app 1930. My grandfathers house which sat along side the highway on the west side during every heavy rain the road to the house would be under water from Indian Creek.
It's raining tears
ReplyDeletein
Stlouis!! Ha!
Even brookside smells like shit at main and Gregory. You can see and smell sewage leaking up through the synagogue's parkway.
ReplyDeleteThey shit over there? And it stinks?
ReplyDeleteEver try to take a shit at KCI at 9am?
ReplyDeleteI don't recall.
ReplyDeleteChoo Choo - All Aboard to Crooked Killa City!
ReplyDeleteAnd this used to be such a nice city.
ReplyDeleteI want to emphasize to residents to NOT drive thru this flooding. I cannot tell you how many people I experienced who drowned in the 1977 Plaza flood because people did not pay attention. And I was not even on the Plaza, I was in Old Leawood. A whole family of 4 died because the parent thought that they were safe in their Mercedes. NEVER drive thru standing water, no matter what.
ReplyDeleteReplace the Toy Train with a "Main Street Riverboat"-
