This week we kicked off the new drainage improvement project in the Pine Trails subdivision! This neighborhood faced various issues like street ponding, pavement distress, sidewalk buckling, and flooding.
The $19.6 million improvements include:
- increase stormwater drainage out of the neighborhood
- increase the size of select drainage pipes
- replace pavement and sidewalks on streets where storm sewer is upgraded
- dead trees and tree stumps will be removed within the right of way
- minor water line adjustments when conflicting with storm sewer upgrade
- construction of detention pond at the northeast corner of subdivision east of Big Gulch
The construction of the project has been divided into 4 phases. Phases 3 and 4, on the east side of the subdivision, will be constructed first. Construction is scheduled to start in June 2023. Thank you to our dedicated partners at Harris County, Harris County Engineering Department, and Harris County Flood Control.
Next Wednesday, we will also break ground on Cedar Bayou East and West subdivision. This project includes a new detention pond for drainage and storage and approximately 25,300 linear feet of reinforced concrete storm sewers of various sizes.
And this Friday, we will mark the completion of Phase 2 of the Eastex Freeway Forest drainage improvements. This project upsized storm sewers, added storm drains, and lowered portions of neighborhood streets to reduce flooding within Eastex Freeway Forest Subdivision Sections 3 and 4.
This month in Commissioners Court, the following Precinct 2 infrastructure projects were approved:
High Meadows Drainage Improvements: Construction on our High Meadows and Fairgreen Subdivision Drainage Improvements is anticipated to start this August.
The project includes:
- Modifying the outfalls along the flood control drainage channel
- Upsizing the storm sewer system along John F. Kennedy Boulevard between Connorvale & Charriton and along Fern Meadow from Debeney to the flood control drainage channel
- 4,790 linear feet of concrete piping for stormwater
This project will benefit 374 structures when completed in the 1st quarter of 2024.
Western Homes Drainage Improvement Project: This investment in the Aldine Area is expected to provide direct relief to nearly 600 individuals in the surrounding area.
The project includes:
- A new storm sewer system underneath all roadway ditches in the neighborhood
- Restoring ditch and pipe culverts along 7,400 linear feet
- A detention facility on the southern end of the subdivision of 50K cubic yards
