Crawford Drainage Improvement Project phase 1 begins; park temporarily closed
Summary
Officials said equipment has been delivered and tree removal and relocation start this week as part of a year-long Crawford Drainage Improvement Project coordinated with Eastchester to reduce flooding and regrade the park.
Village staff told the trustees that phase 1 of the Crawford Drainage Improvement Project is starting this week and equipment was delivered.
The presenters said the park will be closed while tree removal and relocation begin. "The equipment was actually delivered today," the staff update said. Officials described plans to create an open channel through the park and a detention area to reduce neighborhood flooding and regrade the field so water can be carefully channeled. They estimated the work will take about a year and emphasized coordination with the town of Eastchester because parts of the road and project fall within that jurisdiction.
Staff said volunteers and neighborhood gardeners were consulted and that the village will post photos and plans on its website to show tree-planting and landscaping phases that will follow earthmoving.
Why it matters: The project is intended to reduce local flooding around the Crawford school and adjacent streets; residents should expect park closure and construction noise over the coming months.
