News from the Summit University Neighborhood

HELP CLEAR STORM DRAINS

3/2/2020

We have been experiencing a warm up! Soon enough, our neighborhood is going to become the land of 10,000 lake-sized puddles. 

These enormous pools of ice cold sludge are typical this time of year. They can be an annoyance for able-bodied people carrying little more than a backpack, but for many of our community members these extra large melt puddles make it impossible to navigate the neighborhood. 

We need everyone to step up in Summit-University and help us clear storm drains. Check on the drains on your block today! They are typically found at street intersections near ped ramps, and sometimes they are also found mid-block. See the link to the city's map below.

Check on the drains on your block today! If you are able to clear them, please do. Even just clearing off some of the snow allows the sun to help with the melting process. If residents are seeing pooling water on the streets, and you are not able to open up your catch basin, please call Saint Paul Public Works Sewer Division at 651-266-9700 (press 7) or call 651-266-9850 and a crew can come out to steam the storm drain open.

You can find storm drains close to your home if you check out Google Maps (great tip from a neighbor). You can also access a map of some of the city's storm drains here:
