Last Saturday (June 14th) there was some massive flooding happening in my area, no thanks to poor drainage. It took me twenty minutes to travel what should have taken me five because every street I attempted to drive down was impassable. People were up to their knees pushing stalled cars out of the ponds that covered many areas, like the intersection of Boulevard and Prospect. Can we work on cleaning out the storm sewers better?
Julie, over at Live in Hartford, writes that there will be a public hearing this Tuesday evening from 6-7:30 at City Hall about the issue of keeping youth in Hartford. Apparently, while we’re good at retaining water, Hartford (like all of New England), is not faring so well with keeping its youth. I find this hard to believe, maybe because I work with many young people who live in Hartford. At any rate, this hearing is geared towards young professionals.
