Petersburg neighborhood sees environmentally friendly way to reduce stormwater runoff
The work spearheaded by the James River Association is on the first of seven areas ID ed in a study as problem spots in the Lakemont community
The Progress-Index
PETERSBURG A non-profit organization has announced plans to help an eastern Petersburg neighborhood by extending storm sewers and installing equipment that will remove debris, therefore eliminating issues with storm-drain back-ups and spot-flooding.
Two sections of concrete pipe one 175 feet and the other 50 feet will be put in along Brunswick Street between Culpeper and Slagle avenues in the city s Lakemont area near East Washington Street. A hydrodynamic separator will also be put in place to filter trash, sediment and hydrocarbons out of the water flowing through the drain that will prevent backwash from ponding across the street.
The commission that will redraw Arizona s political district lines later this year on Tuesday chose a company to crunch census data and create maps on a split vote that marked the second time the panel s Democrats were outvoted.
The Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission chose a Virginia-based engineering company that partnered with a California-based firm that specializes in redistricting as its mapping consultant. The Timmons Group has offices in Phoenix and partnered with the California-based National Demographics Corporation on its bid. National Demographics was the mapping consultant for the 2001 commission.
The two Democrats on the redistricting panel opposed the choice, marking the second key hire where they split with the two Republicans on the commission and the independent chair sided with the GOP members.
