Project Description
Location: Christopher Shores subdivision in the SE community of the City; from 14th St south to the Hampton Roads Bay and Marshall Pl to Orcutt Ave. Project: Construct a new storm drain system to replace an existing system that is outdated and does not conform to present City standards. This project will alleviate ongoing flooding issues caused by tidal action of the Hampton Roads Bay within the existing closed drainage systems within the Christopher Shores area of the southeast community. Street flooding is an issue for residents especially when it concerns the ability to evacuate the area when major storm events are predicted and the close proximity to Hampton Roads Bay. Performance/Outcome: The benefits of the project are the reduction in risk of street flooding in the Christopher Shores area, and a new drainage system that is designed to current stormwater management standards (able to conduct runoff from a 10-year storm event). The new drainage systems will extend the life expectancy by 50 years, thus reducing the time and effort of City forces to maintain the system and decreasing the need for funding for frequent repairs.
