trymahjong Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I was one of 40 or so at the zoom meeting of Neartown/Montrose. Last night. Abbie Kamin and Sallie Alcorn spoke. Sallie Alcorn ( atlarge5@houstontx.gov) developed a intriguing idea of citizens adopting and naming storm drains - the anticipated result of keeping debris from clogging storm drains is less street flooding. I like the idea and hope it is well received! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I helped clean the road drains around my condo complex during Rita and Ike. I helps to keep the streets from flooding which could eventually reach buildings if not kept free of debris. Most of the debris is leaves and small limbs clogging the road drains.

The city already tried this and the results were about one would expect for a free for all naming program. https://cohegis.houstontx.gov/cohgisweb/adopta/ https://abc13.com/houston-adopt-a-drain-street-flooding-in-adopt-a-drain-names/3417076/ Quote These eight gems are among our favorites: Purple Drain Heavy D's Portal of Doom Nsane Drain Drainy McDrainface The Pain Drain JG's - Drain the Swamp Stormy Drainiels Blame It On The Dr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naviguessor Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 A couple years ago I adopted the drain in front of our house and named it “Husband-of-Melania“...since CoH wouldn’t accept Donald Trump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedistrict84 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I remember hearing about the CoH program a year or two ago and thought up a couple of solid names at the time: Draininthecity I and II Drain in Vain Yes, I am a fan of early punk rock/new wave music, why do you ask?
