  1. Besides for pot holes that occur from rain/snow, many roads in Lakewood are uneven due to construction digging for pipes etc.. so besides for the water you have no idea what’s going on under there. Drive safely!

  2. While I understand the concern of the residents of Albert with regard to the flooding issue, I cannot help but feel the dramatic reaction is a bit over the top. This was not an unknown situation to *any* potential Albert area homeowner – there simply is no municipal sewage/drainage system and therefore every house has a septic tank. This was something a buyer of a home in Albert was very aware of prior to the sale. Kvetching about it after the fact just causes people to feel schadenfreude…

    • This flooding is not only because “there simply is no municipal sewage/drainage system”… If that would be the case then 95% of the Albert Area would be flooded in these storms when in reality only 5% is flooded.

      “This was something a buyer of a home in Albert was very aware of prior to the sale”

      I don’t have any flooding on my block in the area and I wasn’t aware the area used septic tanks before committing to building here.

  3. If you trust your child with the Bus driver you have to trust the Drivers judgement when it comes to avoiding deep waters and anything else that comes his way.

  4. I think the reader (writer) it’s being a bit overly. Sorry you got sprayed up (my assumption) but don’t think it’s a safety issue

  5. How much of a bet do you want to have that that driver drives there every day 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 or 10 times a day and knows every pothole and by driving 15 miles an hour in that water he is not endangering anyone as long as he has his wipers on a high speed

  6. ALL CONCERNED PEOPLE, DONT YOU REALIZE THAT THIS IS A BUS, ITS VERY LIKELY THAT HE DRIVES DOWN THIS BLOCK SEVERAL TIMES A DAY AND IS WELL AWARE OF THE CONDITIONS BELOW. YOU REALLY THINK THE DRIVER THOUGH HES GOING BOATING WITH ALL THOSE KIDS ON BOARD.
    STOP COMING UP WITH STUPID THINGS TO COMPLAIN ABOUT!!

  7. What’s the flooded area 100/200 feet long, how deep? the splash is what 6/7 feet high and totally enveloping the front of the bus, yeah no problem there, really people, maybe just a little unsafe, maybe slow down a little for a flooded road
