Is anyone aware of major civil engineering effort being undertaken in NYC to deal with this? They've had several major flooding events in the last handful of years. Seems almost as if they need levees.
Today’s flooding was caused by excessive rain, and I think the problems are mostly around inadequate drainage? Whereas Sandy was a storm surge and could have been mitigated with something like levees.
Thank you for the link. A bit unfortunate for the aesthetics but likely necessary.
NYC might be able to do something like that if it wasn't being strangled budget-wise by an insanely expensive, overstaffed, and ineffective police department.
