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: July 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: Work on Joseph E. Boone Boulevard is moving forward.  Contractors continue to install granite curb in front of Cook Park. Crews are installing mast arm and pole at the intersection of Boone Boulevard and Temple Street. Crews will also be grading between Maple and Walnut Streets.   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.
