The City of Manchester, Missouri totally rebuilt a portion of Mautenne Drive between La Bonne Parkway and Meramec Station Rd. in May 2019 and laid down brand new concrete in an effort to fix a number of recurring potholes and bad drainage among other things.  The date of this video, June 17, 2019  was the first video I got of any substantial rain on the new concrete pavement and I for one was quite happy to see it draining way better than before with much less overflow onto the sidewalks and areas immediately adjacent to the street. I will say, however, that now in September 2022, if it rains intensely, there are still significant drainage issues but not as bad as before and the street is definitely still quite smooth and a huge improvement so to me it was worth it to fix it the way they did. Not risking a need for alignment on your car every time you take this street definitely makes for better living.
