East Lane Street Drainage Improvements

Repairing the Stormwater System

We are finding a long-term solution for the neighborhood near East Lane Street that would reduce flooding and improve stormwater conditions. We previously 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.
