Oakland County Road Commission Sleeping on the Job!

The Oakland County Road Commission refuses to repair damaged storm drains in residential neighborhoods. There has been standing water in front yards for 2 years now. This is a health hazard. Mosquitos are terrible. We cannot sit out on our front porch in the evening without being eaten alive!

My neighbor finally got fed up with the Oakland County Road Commission and attempted to unplug the storm drain himself. I saw him reaching into it with a shovel to remove mud and gunk from the drain under his driveway.

Residents shouldn't have to do the Oakland County Road Commission's job!

Does anyone know who to turn to for results?

I spoke with Jim Runestad, the County Commissioner assigned to this area, but he was unable to get the problem resolved. He did make calls and kept me informed; however, the problem still exists.

Is it possible that I could be talking to the wrong people? Who's job is it to maintain strom drains at the street? If the Oakland County Road Commmission is not responsible, they could at least direct me to the right people to get this fixed.
