inNews - LocalAlton residents living on Jefferson Avenue said they’re fed up with stagnant water that shows up after big storms hit the area. Alton City Manager Jeff Underwood said the street has a curb and gutters, causing any water that tries to move out of the neighborhood to end up at the end of the road, near Trosper Boulevard. “The issue there is that trooper does not have a drainage system, so the water accumulates at Trosper and Jefferson,” Underwood said.
