City of Alexandria invites residents to another community open house on May 22, 2024, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Leonard “Chick” Armstrong Recreation Center to learn more about the Commonwealth, Ashby, and Glebe Flood Mitigation Project. The open house will provide residents an opportunity to learn about the project, ask questions, and provide feedback as staff plan for further design and future construction. A questionnaire will also be available on the project website following the meeting. 

The Commonwealth, Ashby, and Glebe Flood Mitigation Project will increase storm sewer capacity and reduce flooding near the intersections of Commonwealth Avenue & Glebe Road, and Ashby Street and Glebe Road.  

Currently in the design phase, the project includes installing new parallel relief storm sewers to increase the capacity of the storm sewer system. The project also includes the installation of a new outfall to discharge stormwater flows to Four Mile Run, and green infrastructure to improve water quality in the watershed. 

As with many large municipal capital improvement projects, construction will affect multiple areas near and along the project site. City staff welcome resident feedback to help further plan the construction design and traffic maintenance to minimize impacts during construction. 

More information about the project is available at alexandriava.gov/go/4139
