[quote="Guest"]Twice in the last week, Old Trenton Road has flooded near Liedke Drive. As far as I know, this has never happened before the "Old Trenton Road Roadway Widening and Drainage Improvement" was completed. I remember some water running down along the curb near Liedke, but nothing even close to this, even during much worse rainstorms than we've had this past week. Also, the flooding that has occurred in the past near the Swim Club seems to be worse than before. Thank you Middlesex County for another terrific engineering job! For you next project, perhaps you can improve the drainage to the point where the entire length of the roadway is underwater when it rains.[/quote]
