Problem is that the surrounding absorbent prairie soil won't be receiving the stormwater. It will be routed quickly to floodprone Tanglewood Branch and erode shoreline downstream. Another example of the opposite of low-impact development. More taxpayer money to the folk who mine limestone and red dirt and haul it into the city.
Maybe you didn't notice what was in your photo. Is pouring concrete on top of drain pipes the reason a lot of pipes around town are semi-crushed at the end. Or were you just wanting us to notice the mud already pushed into the pipe and ready to be washed toward Beaver Lake?
Why are they doing this? preventing job loss? widening the road for the trucks that use the big warehouse? it isn't for drainage improvement since - as we can see - that part of the project isn't being done properly. Work on this one block plus corner has been going on for months. It's certainly a time-consuming, labor intensive project. ???

What a fantastic improvement for our city's infrastructure!
