Central Avenue, at Sespe Street, will be closed between Sespe and Kensington Avenue until January 22th. The city is continuing its new storm drain installation which it suspended for the holidays. “The ultimate Central Avenue Storm Drain will dramatically reduce the flooding problems experienced in 1995 and other floods,” said Public Works Director Bert Rapp in April 2008. “It provides drainage to the area of east Fillmore that was built between 1910 and 1940’s and has no storm drains. It will divert the water to the Santa Clara River before it causes flood problems.”
