New Yorkers shouldn’t have to worry every time it rains. Ahead of this weekend’s storms, City workers have been out across all five boroughs clearing and inspecting catch basins in flood-prone neighborhoods. Today I joined @NYCWater in Bushwick to clear a catch basin overflowing with debris and litter on Knickerbocker Avenue, one of the areas hit hardest by Wednesday’s storm. If you see a clogged catch basin, call 311. And if you’re able, help your neighbors by clearing leaves or litter from nearby grates before the rain arrives.
