Broad Channel W12thRd: Several inches of "bathtub" effect tidal waters remain in street post high tide

Two and a half hours after peak high tide  the bay end of W12thRd is still flooded with several inches of tidal water even though the water height on the bay itself has decreased markedly.

An inspection of the end of the street to ascertain if residents could "shovel out" a run off to release the ponded water revealed the ongoing construction in preparation for the cofferdam and bulkhead, which has reconfigured the outfall area and does not provide for or allow a viable runoff of tidal street flooding.

Obviously this is a temporary condition but consideration should be given to addressing this "bathtub" effect of tidal water prior to the tidal street flooding of W12thRd which will take place during the period of October 4th through October 4th as we approach a full moon on October 8th.
