Yes, but mitigation techniques won’t stop a low point from flooding if there’s a draining issue.

It's both. The system was not designed for the volume nor types of waste. Plastic waste causes clog more than anything, and there's an insane amount of it.
Everyone knows Philly is dumb with trash, though. The ignorance is astounding. Every walk of life, pitching their junk where they please.
Realistically, though, it is cheaper to pay folks to clear them regularly rather than to overhaul the entire system.

I think it may have to do with zoning restrictions/getting the neighborhood to accept the project

They should buy a Mexican restaurant and call it Juan Jawn to complete the trifecta.

> Can’t read, paywall
The sheer amount of people who never think to Google "bypass paywalls" to find one of the 12+ solutions to this issue is truly astonishing.

But this will destroy Chinatown!
As we all know Chinatown must remain mostly parking lots with ever more teardowns and never see any development in or near it.

Probably is like those cars who take pictures for google streetview. You see it once in a decade or so.

Parking should reflect actual value of the service and space, it should not be free or subsidized by zoning ordnance.
