Blocked Sidewalk: Comment

Other: Sidewalk on south side of W 17th just east of tri north construction entrance covered with mud again. I can't overemphasize that the sidewalk itself is serving as a culvert to drain several acres and this problem will not go away on its own when the construction crews leave. I'll try to remember to come out here with a ruler when it rains next week to record the depth of the creek. Kids will be using this sidewalk to walk to school even on rainy days and their shoes should not be completely submerged!! We are going to look into this today (5/17). We believe that a soil stockpile and a storm drain with inlet protection is not allowing water to flow into the storm drain. We are going to investigate again and see if we can identify the exact issue.

We have asked the contractor to remove the sediment and replace the current BMPs that are installed to keep sediment out of the storm drains. We believe they were keeping water and sediment from entering the drain. They should only be blocking the sediment. We have also asked the contractor to install additional BMPs around the soil stockpile to keep sediment from blocking the inlets moving forward. We believe this will resolve the issue.

Hi James, this issue had been passed along a concern about the stormwater to the MS4 but it's come up again.
