Project Description

Runoff from N. Overlook Dr. flows to a driveway access between 701 N. Overlook Dr. and 615 N. Overlook Dr. Runoff overtops the north curb of the driveway access and flows towards Pullman Pl. This project will increase inlet capture and storm sewer capacity to mitigate flooding up to 10-year storm levels. In addition, the project will not worsen flooding elsewhere in the system.
