CITY BRIDGE AND SEWER LINE THREATENED

Streamline Environmental Llc has begun a $677K project to stabilize Rock Creek from just north of the Rock Creek Parkway bridge to several hundred yards south.

Fallen trees and debris are to be removed, sheet pile and rip rap added to stabilize the banks, and new landscaping installed as needed.

Periodic flooding during heavy rain causes erosion around bridge supports and threatens the 8" sewage pipe passing though the creek just south of the bridge.

The contract was approved by the city council last November 26; the contractor has 120 days to complete the project.

Is the homeowners association helping pay for any of it?

Did the owner's association contribute?

Given that only 1 -2 people are there working on any given day there is no way this will be completed in 120 days. Is anyone from the city supervising this project?

The city council approved additional engineering funds at yesterday's meeting. This may be reason for some pause ... but we were told the project is ahead of schedule ... due to the dry weather.
