East Lane Street Drainage Improvements

Phase I

We repaired and realigned the damaged private stormwater pipe that caused a sink hole at 513 East Lane Street. This work is intended to be a temporary solution to restore the stormwater system and make the properties in the area safe.

Phase II

The City is investigating a permanent solution for the neighborhood that may include extending pipes to redirect stormwater drainage.
