FY2024-2025 STORM DRAIN PROJECTS DISCUSSION

❖ Description: Whitley Road 5 Project, $1,550,000
With the Whitley Road 5 project major storm drain improvements along Whitley Road are
included. Currently, there are ditches along Whitley Road that carry the storm water. This
storm water will be put under Whitley Road and carried by pipes.

Justification: When Whitley Road is widened, there will not be room within the right of
way for the ditches to carry the storm water. Adding curbs and curb inlets allow us to carry
the storm water underground.

Operating Impact: Little to no impact upon operations is anticipated. This project is paid
for with storm drain revenues with the current level of user fee charges.

❖ Description: Bunker Hill Drainage Project, $1,746,000
Will improve drainage in the Bunker Hill subdivision with construction of curb inlets and
an underground system along portions of Bunker Blvd and Yorkston Street.

Justification: There is no existing system on the east side of the Bunker Blvd outfall and
the system on the west side is undersized. Additionally, there is no existing underground
system along this section of Yorkston Street that drains a large drainage area. The
existing drainage system upstream at Declaration Street and Constitution Drive cannot
adequately capture the flow, which exacerbates the system’s inadequacies at the
Yorkston Street channel outfall.

Operating Impact: Little to no impact upon operations is anticipated. This project will be
paid for with storm drain revenues in the amount of $227,700 for engineering, and
construction is anticipated to be $1.5 million, with the project to commence in FY2025.
