Rain Rain Rain
I know that we need it, but what's with all this rain? Reason being I remember when this happened two years ago this August. My Mother lived in the Stonehurst section of Upper Darby. Naylors Run Creek Runs underground from Sherbrook blvd. to Walnut Park Drive, where it drains into Cobbs Creek. This culvert had collapsed in 1991 on Grace Rd, and cannot handle the amount of water. I remember going to a meeting at Stonhurst elementary school, where various local and state officials said they would look into how to improve it.
Well I have a solution: Behind Marshall Road field there is a vast expanse of area suited for a series of retaining walls. Or, how about an alternate tunnel? Something must be done to prevent homes and businesses in Stonehurst from this kind of destruction from ever happenning again.
Anyone else have ideas?

Local officials should start making better decisions regarding development and should pay attention to the floodplain.
Making walls isn't the solution, it will just create a problem for someone else downstream.
Think beyond the locality...
Excellent observation. So, where you been PIT? Strike that. How ya been? I hope good. A safe and happy 4th of July to you and yours.
