Rhodes SDIP is a minor bid project that was created to address the service request at 3738 Rhodes and is located on the City project dashboard.

This project is bordered by Laurel Avenue to the north, Dotger Avenue to the south, Randolph Road to the east and Hempstead Place to the west.  The existing drainage system consists of closed pipe systems.  This drainage system is currently undersized and street flooding has been reported on Colville Road and building flooding has been reported on Cranbrook Lane.

The project involves analysis of existing conditions to determine areas suitable for improvement, planning analysis of improvement alternatives, and the design and construction of the needed improvements in the Eastway Storm Drainage Improvement Project (SDIP) area.

The Eastway Storm Drainage Improvement Project is bordered by Arnold Drive to the north, Central Avenue to the south, Temple Lane to the east and Eastway Drive to the west.  This project area is within a drainage area of approximately 200 acres and the improvements may include pipe system upgrades and channel improvements.

There is an existing wetlands system and stream adjacent to the Bruns Academy that are in need of improvements. The intent of this project is to reset an existing wetlands system to its original design and provide enhancement, where applicable. Wetland restoration efforts will include regrading, sodding and planting of vegetation,  installation of a new pedestrian bridge and retaining wall.  Additionally, stream improvements, such as regrading banks and adding riffles, are proposed. The proposed improvements will enhance the overall performance of the system for conveying and treating stormwater.

The purpose and need for this construction project is to improve the storm drainage infrastructure (i.e. pipe systems and culverts) to reduce flooding and to enhance degraded stream reaches to reduce erosion and improve water quality.  This project is under review.  Location and project details will be provided after the review is complete.
