A project that includes site upgrades, known as SSA #2 Outfall Repair Project, is currently in progress along Kress Creek at Hawthorne Lane.
The scope of work being completed by the City's contractor, V3 Companies, includes brush and tree clearing, underground storm sewer repairs, grading, toe wall installation, cofferdam, restoration, and the installation of native plantings.
The current anticipated project completion date is October 15, 2022 with the installation of native plants, trees, and shrubs anticipated for spring of 2023. The project also includes a 3-year maintenance and monitoring period for native vegetation.
All major work items are taking place along Kress Creek; and no major traffic impacts are expected during construction. Minor traffic delays, as well as interruptions to the multi-use path, may occur due to the entering and exiting of construction equipment at the site.
