Broadway. July 3 By Ken Buckley
From Ken Buckley, a resident of Broadway: “I can’t believe there is any debris left on our streets to clog these drains. I will send you series of pics which show water half way out to median west of Pilgrim but little east of Pilgrim at the same time.” Ken
Editor’s Note: We spoke to Mayor Eric Houghtaling today regarding Broadway. He says that all the work on Broadway regarding flood control has been completed, although he indicated that there might be some more to do on Abbott Avenue. He feels that there will always a tendency to flood on Broadway under certain conditions but that the situation is much improved.
He acknowledged that future work is planned for Fletcher Lake. The Mayor also said that the Township could not routinely assign people to be available at all times to clear the drains. The Public Works people were there today, but the residents may need to help out sometimes.
