The design for this street reconstruction and rehabilitation project included the complete replacement of storm sewer, sanitary sewer, and water service within the project limits. It also encompassed on-street parking, curb and gutter, new sidewalk, and landscaping elements. Since JPR was the lead engineer for the adjacent Ariel Cycleworks development, our team was able to provide expedited coordination between the development and the City. With a short design schedule, that was critical in preventing any delays.
The biggest challenge encountered on this project was the lack of a sufficient stormwater outfall near the project site. To overcome this issue, a PaveDrain system with subsurface stormwater retention was constructed along Douglas Street to collect and infiltrate the stormwater on site.
As this project is completed, residents will see increased water pressure provided by the upgrades to the water main. Additionally, replacing the lead water services and crumbling sanitary services has provided a healthier and more environmentally friendly neighborhood. The inclusion of on-street parking and landscaping elements has also made an aesthetically pleasing area that the residents can be proud to call home.
This project consisted of the reconstruction of 10th Street, from Plymouth Avenue to Reynolds Street, and Douglas Street, from 10th Street to the railroad tracks. Additionally, rehabilitation of 10th Street, from Jackson Street to Plymouth Avenue, and Reynolds Street, from 10th Street to the railroad tracks, was included.
