Walnut St. and Veterans Drainage Improvements

Location:

Please See Interactive Map

Estimated Completion Date

September 2011

Project Details

Construct underground drainage along the south side of Walnut from BNSF Railroad to McLean Rd and on Veterans from Walnut to Mary's Creek. Project includes the installation of a box culvert trunk line along Walnut that will drain into a twin box culvert alongside and beneath Veterans. The system will collect and convey 100 yr flows from the Old Town area across Walnut and down Veterans to Mary's Creek. The project is planned for a four phase approach to the construction with the first phase to coincide with the improvements to Walnut itself.

Project Justification

Extreme weather events currently inundate and flood residential neighborhoods north of Walnut and west of the railroad. Walnut blocks sheet flow of these waters and existing conveyance systems are not sufficient to convey even 3 yr events past Walnut.
