Ray Avenue and Maiden Lane are now open after completion of a six-month stormwater project. This project will help prevent localized flooding and manage stormwater more effectively along these roads.
Ray Avenue and Maiden Lane opened on Wednesday, March 19 when contractors completed the installation of 300 feet of new 42-inch stormwater pipe and 450 feet of 12-inch water supply pipe along Ray Avenue, between Maiden Lane and Cross Creek. 400 feet of a 24-inch stormwater pipe was also installed along Maiden Lane from Ray Avenue to Burgess Street.
“This project is part of our ongoing commitment to improving infrastructure and protecting our community from stormwater impacts," said Deputy Public Services Director Byron Reeves in a press release. "With multiple stormwater projects underway, we’re working to enhance storm drainage and reduce flooding.”
Construction for this project began on Sept. 30, 2024.
In 2019, the city embarked on a Watershed Master Plan program to better understand magnitude and severity of flooding across the city and proactively develop flood mitigation projects. The plan provided a pool of prioritized projects for both short- and long-term implementation.
Stormwater projects are prioritized by the Watershed Master Plan program. City leadership have invested in following this plan and investing in multiple transformative infrastructure projects that will continue to improve the quality of life for all residents.
