Our block got a new drainage ditch and the difference is wild

For 3 years my backyard turned into a pond every time it rained hard. The city finally put in a proper drainage ditch along Maple Street last spring. Now after a heavy storm last Tuesday the water was gone in 2 hours instead of sitting for days. My neighbor's basement used to flood every April and they said last month was bone dry. Has anyone else seen a big change after a local infrastructure project?

Wait, so you're saying I should be happy about a ditch now?

Depends on the ditch, some of them just push the problem somewhere else.
