Summary

Commissioners heard an early-stage presentation from a committee member and DPW summary about replacing two eroded headwalls near Wilburham Road and Roosevelt (Wesson Park) where Carlisle Brook runs; staff said the project is in design and may be large with efforts to limit right-of-way and stream impacts.

A committee member briefed the Commission on an early-stage Department of Public Works project to replace two eroded headwalls at the intersection of Wilburham Road and Roosevelt, adjacent to Wesson Park. The member said the site drains to Carlisle Brook and that the work is in the design phase; no final plans or schedules were presented.

The speaker described the work as significant and said crews "are still in the early phases of planning" and that "it's gonna be a large project," adding that DPW will try to minimize impacts to the right-of-way and the stream. Commissioners asked questions and viewed a shared screen map of the park and the two headwall locations; staff indicated they walked the site roughly a month earlier and will return with formal plans when available.
