Project Description
The City of Alexandria is working to reduce the risk of backyard flooding on the north side of S. Jordan Street between Venable Ave. and Holmes Run Pkwy. Flood mitigation measures will be implemented in two phases. Phase I will include minor repairs that will be completed by the Public Works team. Phase II will be more extensive and include improvements to the existing swale and storm water drainage.
Progress Update
After the field investigation, reviewing CCTV recordings and reading the consultants recommendations, one small scale project was identified. The City will plan to obtain a 15-ft. wide permanent easement for the storm drain system in this neighborhood as part of this project. Obtaining an easement will allow the City to provide maintenance to the storm drain system without having to request permission.
