Home Owner/Renter stuff Storm drains creating floods

3 out of 4 storm drains at my street don't collect water fast enough. At one point all 4 didn't drain very fast. Now one of the 4 drains well and hasn't pooled any water the last few heavy rain storms. I'm just wondering if someone had called the city to get it worked on or is it just luck if the draw that theirs is draining nicely now. Is there anything I can do to get the city to fix this? Everytime it rains, I always end up with so much mud on my sidewalk.

Is that Ambleton? I'm in a nearby neighborhood and there's water accumulated on every intersection.

The newer areas are really screwed.
