1. I don’t think there are any storm drains on Route 9. So we shouldn’t be blaming the leaves for this mess.

2. Put some sewers Lakewood

3. And where is the water to go? Most of the land in Lakewood is covered with either buildings or roads. There is very little natural surface left to absorb the water. In the past the rain that fell in the building ran off onto the ground and got absorbed. Now it runs through gutters into the streets causing flooding. And it will only get worse when more land is cleared for building.

4. anony # 3,

   Boy, do you exhibit crooked logic! I go to Manhattan every day and I can’t think of a more dense place on the planet so full of buildings and roads, and yet there is almost never any flooding. But, according to your twisted thinking the place should be flooded every time there’s a big rain.

   Jeez.. Did you ever hear of a sewer system??

5. To – Manhattanite says: Yeah, I heard of a sewer system. If Lakewood had them in the streets that are flooding they wouldn’t flood. Lakewood does not have many sewers. You got that????

6. anony –

   So by your admission you’re a hypocrite. You finally admitted that the issue is the lack of a proper sewer system as I explained to you earlier – and not your ridiculous ranting about some buildings. Am happy you finally saw the light, even though it took you an entire day..

7. To- Manhattanite says: Before there was buildings covering most of Lakewood, rain would most get absorbed into the soil and the rest the gutters & sewers could handle. Now, with all the ground covered by buildings and asphalt, most of the water has no place to go except into the streets.
