That’s another problem not being slopped for water to run down to street. Really nothing I can do about that drain due to not slopped.

The builder terminated the downspout in the backyard for a reason. The water draining off of the roof stays in the backyard. Rerouting the water to the front yard is a bad idea. Having the water run across the driveway or to accumulate near the front door every time it rains is something the builder was trying to avoid.
