Lower West Side Flooding

The unfortunate combination of high tide and heavy rain leading to basement flooding on the West side.

The homeowners are on the lower end of Winslow street.
One homeowner says its the 6th time it's happened to him and he's ready to sue over it.

City spokesperson Lori Jensen says residents in low-lying areas such as Market Place West may be experiencing some water in their basements but this is not due to any infrastructure failure.

The southbound lane on Bay Street and Winslow Street between Market Place and Ludlow Street are closed because of the flooding.  Crews will be monitoring the situation throughout the night.    To report flooding on streets or in catch basins call 658-4455.
