          This page contains three final photos.  The flooding stretched across much the city of Kalamazoo, primarily following Crosstown Parkway from west to east.  All direct routes from the south into the downtown area were closed, including S. Park St., S. Rose St., S. Burdick St., and Portage St.. The first photo on this page shows the western extent of flooding that closed S. Park St. just to the north of Crosstown Parkway.  The second photo shows the eastern extent of the flooding that closed Mills St. at Crosstown Parkway.  The third photo shows flooding at the intersection of Mills St. and the Kings Highway.  The Kings Highway is a major route into downtown Kalamazoo from the east.
