Glenbrook Drive and Dacian Road Stormwater Improvements

Stormwater System Upgrades

We are updating to the stormwater system near the intersection of Glenbrook Drive and Dacian Road. These upgrades will reduce road and home flooding and improve the stream channel in this area.

Construction

Construction will begin March 2025. We will survey the project area to identify project boundaries and potential water, sewer and stormwater pipes. We will then do tree removal, erosion control, and tree and construction fencing  installation. No major utility interruptions are anticipated during this project.

Road closures are going to impact the community, but traffic detours will be posted.  The duration of the project is approximately 10  months which puts the end of construction in early 2026.

System Upgrades

The following changes will help reduce flooding and improve roadway safety by allowing stormwater to flow through the drainage system more easily when it rains:

  • Install new inlets and pipes along Glenbrook Drive and Dacian Road;
  • Install new concrete box culverts under Glenbrook Drive and Dacian Road;
  • Improve the channel between Glenbrook Drive and Dacian Road to accommodate the larger box culverts;
  • Upgrade the stormwater system that goes past Elmhurst Circle;
  • Buyout and remove two homes previously subject to repetitive flooding.
