Our City Engineer, Eric Johnson gave an update to the Parks and Recreation Commission about this project at their meeting on June 8th, 2002. The slides are below.
The Walnut Street Neighborhood Flood Mitigation project will include design and permitting for wetland, stream channel, and streambank restorations to reduce flooding and increase brook capacity in the Walnut Street/Sucker Brook Drainage Area. A new boardwalk path will be designed to replace the existing school path, providing an ADA accessible, safe, and walkable access by reconnecting residential neighborhoods between Walnut Street and Stonybrook Road.
