Complete

We completed the stormwater upgrades! These changes will help reduce flooding and improve roadway safety by allowing stormwater to flow through the drainage system more easily when it rains.

System Upgrades

  • 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
