Councilor identifies funding sources to raise storm inlets on South Memorial Drive
Summary
A council member said the city identified $325,000 from district and general funds to raise storm inlets on South Memorial Drive and smooth out dips caused when new asphalt was placed over concrete.
A council representative described an infrastructure fix on South Memorial Drive between East 71st Street and East 81st Street to address dips caused when asphalt was overlaid on existing concrete and the city did not have sufficient money to raise storm inlets to grade during the initial repaving.
The speaker (council representative) said funding identified includes $75,000 from vision-allocated funds for District 8, $150,000 from District 7 community development funds (match) and $100,000 from the city's general fund, for a $325,000 total to raise storm inlets three inches to match the roadway and eliminate dips in the outside lanes. The presenter said construction will be completed during the summer with a short construction timeframe and that the work will smooth lanes and remove dips and potholes.
No ordinance or vote was recorded in the transcript; this was an informational funding update from the representative about identified funding to fix localized roadway drainage and ride quality.
