document.write("      <p>");document.write("No doubt the people residing near Green Valley road who have seen a problem in the past 'few years' live near the hospital.  The low area in the vacinity of Green Valley Road and State Street has been a problem for years.  I personally saw an enormous amount of new flooding after expansion of the hospital.  The ground simply could not hold the runoff after covering acres and acres of green space.  Storm water drains were constantly at their peak.  Garages flooded in the alleyways south of the hospital.  Several times I had to walk through water to my knees in an alleyway that had NEVER flooding in the entire time I lived in the area! Some main thoroughfares were often impassable.   The ground could not hold the water being shed and this was not just 'five year rains'.  This occured nearly every time it rained (weekely) in the spring and summer.  It got to the point that the foundations of houses began to crumble.  <br /><br />I began complaining to the city including the zoning board office, city council,  hospital administrators and even the mayor soon after construction began but, my complaints fell on deaf ears.  Within a year or so the houses off of Country Club Drive flooded severely.  I remember reading one woman woke to find nearly 3 feet of water in her bedroom.  I beleive she lived on Player Place.  At that time I even wrote a letter to the NA Tribine.  The response from the city was always the same to act ignorant to the effects the hospital construction had on these properties--'it's a once in a life time rain'.  Well, now I ask?  Was it?  NO!  I've seen carpet and such out for pick up in that area very soon afer many rainfalls.  I do not know if the area still floods.  I'm assuming it was the city (taxpayers) that footed the bill for new culverts and drainage ditches in the area of Country Club Drive and Bono Road.  I no longer travel that stretch of road so I can't say if it helped or not.      <br /><br />Through all my years of complaining (and I do mean YEARS) there was no reaction from community leaders what so ever.  They would not even acknowledge there was a problem!  Did they think things would improve with time?   Are they not smart enough to realize that with more and more constrution things will only worsen? So what did they do?  They granted variances allowing more construction and authorizing even more 'impervious surfaces'; green space be covered in the area!  <br /> <br />Pay attention to what is being built near you and even 'up stream'.  CONSTRUCTION EFFECTS EVERYONE.");document.write("      </p>");
