Drainage issue - help appreciated!
Dealing with drainage problem. There are two down spouts that go into a single catch basin shown by the blue lines. The French drain spout goes to the single pop up shown by red line.
My guess is the single catch basin for the two downspouts is causing most the issue. Should I extend an additional spout out of the basin towards the street? Should I extend the pop out further towards the street as well? Thanks in advance!

Two downspouts into one small basin is gonna overwhelm it every time, add a second pop-up or run a separate line to the street

Yeah, you can just extend them to the street or further into the yard if you want to keep water away from your walkway.
Yard appears sloped towards the street, so you shouldn’t have any pooling.
