Does that strip mall on the east side of Connecticut predate the Metro?


Yes.

If not, that could've greatly contributed to the problem by increasing the impervious surface area of the local region.

The presents of impervious surfaces would have not made any difference. The grading and drainage of the property is the issue. The property behind the strip mall descends down hill towards Porter Street.
