City to raise storm inlets, smooth South Memorial Drive with combined district and general funds
Summary
Officials said they will raise storm inlets and address dips on South Memorial Drive between East 71st and East 81st using a combination of vision funds, district community development match and general fund dollars; construction is expected this summer.
City officials said they identified funding to raise storm inlets and remove dips on South Memorial Drive between East 71st Street and East 81st Street to smooth travel on the outside lanes.
At the briefing a representative described the funding package as including $75,000 from Vision-allocated funds for District 8, a matching contribution drawn from District 7 community development funds described as bringing the match to a $150,000 total, and an additional $100,000 from the city’s general fund to bring the inlets to grade. The presenter said those funds will be used to elevate drainage inlets and smooth the outside lanes for northbound and southbound traffic.
Officials said construction would occur on a short timetable with work expected this summer; the presenter told constituents to expect a brief period of construction and that the repairs would reduce dips and potholes. No detailed construction schedule or contractor name was provided in the remarks.
