I seem to recall that when Costco was built, there was suppose to be money included to alleviate the flooding under the tressle.
Don't forget to thank your County officials too...

The city agreed to chip in $300,000.
The problem, city officials said, is that the county hasn't satisfied its commitment to pay $750,000 for the installation of a pumping system. The underground pumps would be next to the county Probation Department on River Street, said city project manager John Flannigan.
Pipes that would help bring the water to the Hackensack River have been installed, Flannigan said. But state grant programs that could have paid for the pump installation project have run out of money, said Gary Ascolese, county engineer. The county was forced to borrow the money, and that process takes longer, Ascolese said.
