Council hears progress updates on Battles Project and Canal Street drainage; Duke Energy coordination ongoing
Summary
A council member reported wiring and service-line work nearing completion on the Battles Project and described design revisions to Canal Street drainage that will substitute a 38-inch tile for a planned 42-inch barrel and add a second tile to offset reduced capacity.
A council member provided a status report on the Battles Project and Canal Street drainage work, telling the council that wiring is nearing completion and new service lines have been installed for Battles, and that the city is coordinating with Duke Energy to complete work needed for utility startups.
"Wiring is getting close to completion. We got our new service lines put in. We're working with Duke Energy on, completing that project so that they can actually do union startups," the council member said. The member added that getting conditioned air into the space remains an outstanding need for the building.
On the Canal Street drains project the city engineer returned comments and indicated the design may shift from a 42-inch barrel to a 38-inch tile; the council member said the change would reduce flow but noted the plans call for two tiles to mitigate the difference.
The council member also referenced a recent community meeting that included council members Collier and Clarity, describing it as a substantial local engagement. No firm completion dates were provided in the transcript excerpt; the council member said completion windows remain subject to setbacks including a prior roof problem and power-supply negotiation delays.
