[RP TownTalk] Question on street clearing

[Lou King]

Dwight,
We do have storm drains in Riverdale. Without doing any new research 
there is one run that goes from Rhode Island Ave and Riverdale Rd 
(openings) up Riverdale to 46th, on 46th to Queensbury Rd (3 openings) 
under the sidewalk along E Beale Circle to the park (2 openings)  under 
East-West Hwy along 46th to Sheridan where it dumps into the creek by 
the park.

There are others. Just thought you would like to know.
