Soccer fields yesterday, looking toward Stelle Avenue from Randolph Road. |
Schematic shows flood-prone areas in blue. |
Here the brook passes under Stelle Avenue bridge, which it sometimes spills over. |
Am including a couple of pix taken during and after yesterday afternoon's cloudburst.

GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cedar Brook is an asset to the city in so many ways...Collectively, as a community, this asset needs to be better taken care of.
Those who remember the flood of 1973 saw this in action. East Third St. was a raging river from Terrill Rd and made a left turn at Richmond street and followed straight to Cedar Brook. All of the streets/bldgs in the water's path were heavily flooded.
We were told this was an old creek bed that Plainfield was built on.
