Chris Bovie photUi Athol flooding problem to be considered next year By Monio Boucher Whitby council bas recommen- ded the drainage probieni on Athol St. be considered in the 1992 budget discussions. A flooding problem began three years ago on Athol St., frani Trent St.E. ta BunsSt. E. foilowing tbe reconstruction o the eisting sidewalk. «There were no probiems 1230 DUNDAS. ST. .E,.H.I-TBY ,,.666-r361 or .43.4-6121. before the new sidewalk,» Athol St. resident Glenn jess toid ope- rations committee recently. According ta the 'Town public works department, flooding occurs because the road surface is at a higber elevationthan the bouses on the street. The department originaiiy sug- gested, the construction of a rainage ditch on the west side of Athol St. ta direct the water ta an eisting catchbasin on the east side af tbe street, north cf Burns St. E. "A catchbasin wouid take care of a larger per cent of the pro- blem, " said Jess. A watermain in the propased ditch line on the street is compli- cating the problem, according ta the public works department. A report ta operations commit- tee suggested the best solution is ta reconstruct part of the street ta lower tbe road and ta provide starmn sewers. To IMARGARE J.
