Improving Drainage and Fight Against Flooding on Avenue de Maire: Updates and Next Steps

A portion of the side road of Avenue de Maire, located near the Grine organic store, was once once more transformed into a swimming pool this Friday due to the precipitation that fell during the night and the morning.
