Upper Proctor Creek Capacity Relief Project Rodney Cook Sr. Park In Historic Vine City

Update : Thurmond and Walnut Streets are in the process of being raised and construction work continues on the Elm and Walnut Street sewer and water lines. The Upper Proctor Creek Capacity Relief project: Rodney Cook, Sr. Park in Historic Vine City is a multi-phase effort to reduce flooding and combined sewer flows in the Vine City neighborhood.   This project consists of a collection of innovative stormwater practices designed to redirect surface runoff away from the Beckwith Trunk and Mineral Springs combined sewer systems.   The capacity relief facility is currently under construction led by the Astra/Rohadfox, Joint Venture.    The components of this project include a 2-acre pond (9+ MG capacity), green infrastructure (bioretention, stormwater planters, rainwater harvesting cisterns, and soil restoration), aerating water features, separated storm drain pipelines, new sidewalks and roadway improvements.    The Department of Watershed Management is working concurrently with The Trust for Public Land who is responsible for the build-out of the adjacent park. Additionally, The National Monuments Foundation has plans to construct and install statues of historic figures throughout the finished park.   Expected Completion: December 2019 Project Location: Vine Street NW Council District(s): 3 Neighborhood Planning Unit(s): L

Upper Proctor Creek - Boone Boulevard Green Infrastructure & Capacity Relief Project

Update: As work progresses on Joseph E. Boulevard, contractors continue installing water main pipe from Sunset Avenue towards Joseph E. Lowery Blvd. On the north side of Boone Boulevard, preparation for the new edition of planter boxes and a new sidewalk will be underway. Paving will begin from Joseph E. Lowery Blvd. to Mayson Turner Road.   This project will provide capacity relief to the North Avenue Combined Sewer Area and water quality improvements using the green infrastructure practice called bioretention, which is a specially landscaped area that captures runoff from an impervious surface and allows water to enter the soil. Proposed bioretention areas will span approximately 1.2 miles along Boone Blvd from Mayson Turner Road to Northside Drive that will collect stormwater runoff from along the sides of the road. Expected Completion: September 2019 Project Location: Northwest Atlanta Council District(s): 3 Neighborhood Planning Unit(s): L
