Storm again brings flooding, sinkhole Oxford Avenue sees closures, reminiscent of storm that hit nearly a year ago BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A forceful storm of whipping winds, hail and heavy rain brought flooding to the Englewood area, opening a sinkhole just outside the city’s border near South Santa Fe Drive and closing some traffic at a major intersection. Traffic shut down in multiple directions, with many closures being lifted about 8:30 p.m. July 1, a few hours after Sheridan police announced that a sinkhole at the corner of Santa Fe Drive and West Oxford Avenue caused closure of eastbound Oxford and northbound Santa Fe in the area. Flooding that swallowed the bottom half of a car also led police to close the block of Oxford Avenue between Santa Fe and South Windermere Street, according to another Sheridan police tweet. About a mile to the southeast, many feet of water filled the bowlshaped retention pond at Englewood’s Rotolo Park that is designed to capture floodwater. The storm called attention to Englewood’s storm readiness a week before its city council was set to discuss a SEE FLOOD, P14
