They need to fix Garfield bridge this happens every time it rains they even closed the street went continue raining
It's mostly due to the debris left behind by the homeless right there. I used to go clean it up myself with a local group before rain a few years ago until the city complained about us doing it. It's literally just due to trash and lack of maintenance. Not an actual design problem.
