Identifying the origin of the water, Director Hutton reported that the drainage was coming from Pennsylvania, west to east, to Johnston Street. He described the water as a nuisance type that required a curb and gutter system. He recommended that the existing 180 feet be removed and that curb and gutter be installed to meet the other half of an existing cross gutter. He said that he had submitted an update for cost estimates for the suggested improvements. At 7:15 P. M., CM Grimsby was noted absent from his place at the dais. Discussion continued on the area described as the rectangular, under the sidewalk drain from northeast corner of Johnston and Pennsylvania Avenue, coming from Esperanza and Ohio Streets. Director Hutton explained that the only way to get rid of the surface drainage water would be to install an underground drainage conduit, a storm drain.

CM Bennett indicated that there were similar problems in her district as well.
