We gathered information from residents, conducted land surveys, and investigated the current storm drain system to determine the current condition. This information was used to develop repair recommendations for the area. We conducted a site visit in February 2024 to evaluate stormwater infrastructure conflicts.

Public Engagement

We held a public meeting November 2023 to give project timeline updates, review easement maps, and to hear feedback from the public. Missed the meeting? Review the documents that were provided at the meeting.

• Project Timeline (schedule of project objectives)
• Project Fact Sheet (overview of project)
• Easement Fact Sheet (what they are and why they are needed)

Creston Alley 

Due to the severity of sinkholes along a stormwater pipe within Creston Alley, the City has decided to expedite repairs for this portion of the larger Glenwood Creston project. City staff are coordinating with property owners and the design team to develop a final design. This section of pipe may be replaced or rehabilitated based on the condition of the existing pipe.

Glenwood Avenue 

The City has purchased the property located at 1909 Glenwood Avenue. Planned stormwater improvements for the west side of the Glenwood-Creston project will tie into the stormwater crossing underneath Glenwood Avenue at this location. The structures on this lot are planned for demolition and the area will be used for staging during the construction phase. Demolition of the property is expected to occur late summer 2024.

City staff will be contacting property owners in the project area about real estate interests needed for project construction.

Staking of the easement areas on the property will begin soon. Real estate staff will contact individual property owners to review the real estate acquisition process. The process is expected to take several months.
