The Department of Environmental Protection will install 8 new catch basins and about 500 feet of 12-inch drain pipe. A spokesperson said the system will connect to an existing catch basin at the southwest corner of Doty, linked to a storm sewer beneath Father Capodanno Boulevard. Borough President Vito Fossella said the project has been a priority since 2022, and the work is approved. Residents have dealt with basement flooding, dirty conditions, and damaged furniture after heavy rain and nor&#8217;easters. Crews were dispatched to pump out water after the latest flooding, and Doty Avenue sits in a low-lying section of Staten Island.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Long-awaited drainage upgrades are set to begin on Staten Island&#8217;s Doty Avenue, a South Beach block with years&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":361277,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[15436,94526,134231,134230,134229,9,24,63,134,136,135,4384],"class_list":["post-361276","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-staten-island","tag-basement-flooding","tag-catch-basins","tag-doty","tag-doty-avenue","tag-drainage","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-staten-island","tag-staten-island-headlines","tag-staten-island-news","tag-vito-fossella"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/361276","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=361276"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/361276\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/361277"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=361276"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=361276"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=361276"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
