Report Details

AI-generated, reviewed by reporter

A standing water puddle 3-4 inches deep blocks the crosswalk at 8 Lower Jarvis Street, forcing pedestrians into vehicle traffic. A utility manhole cover is visible nearby, indicating a blocked storm drain or catch basin failure. The pooled water creates a safety hazard by making the crosswalk inaccessible and causing unpredictable pedestrian movement into the roadway.

Description

Deep puddle (3-4") forms and makes the crosswalk inaccessible, people need to walk on the road and in unpredictable ways in order to get around it, which is a safety hazard.
