'Duck pond' on my driveway is city's fault, Regina homeowner says

A Regina man says he's got a "duck pond" in front of his house because the city refuses to fix the crumbling street.

In a letter to the city, Doug Kozak says he has waited more than a decade for the city to repair his road — which, fittingly enough, is named Lake Street.

A depression has formed at the end of his driveway and every time it rains, it fills with water.

"We have been dealing with a pond at the end of our driveway for more than 10 years," he said in his submission, which is on the agenda for tonight's city council meeting.

The water is there so often that ducks flock to the site year after year, Kozak said.

He said he wrote the letter to support the motion of Coun. Barb Young, who's calling on the city to devote more money from its residential street repair program to poor quality roads like Kozack's.
