The city announced a major upgrade to the storm sewers in Rosedale, Queens, where homeowners have repeatedly had to deal with flooding.
NEW YORK - Some Queens residents coping with recurrent flooding are getting some help from New York City. Wednesday, the city announced a major upgrade to the storm sewers in Rosedale. It's a neighborhood where homeowners have repeatedly had to deal with flooding on their streets, and in their basements. A $51.8 million infrastructure project will help manage stormwater in the area, including new storm sewers and catch basins. The project will also reconstruct 36 blocks with new roadways.
This comes after flood conditions kept emerging at the same corners and street corners. A storm in September left Brookville Bouleavard near 147th Avenue impassable, with cars submerged in water. 'It seemed like something that was never going to be fixed''Whether it be a small amount of rain or significant amount of rain, it always ponds here, and then comes up to the sidewalk fence, onto the grass,' resident Jeremy Babb said.
