Flood relief coming to Lincoln Park neighborhood
Residents in the Lincoln Park neighborhood are getting some relief from flash flooding, but in order to continue the progress of installing a stormwater pipe, Cambridge Boulevard will be closed next week.
Beginning Monday, September 14, 2009 at 7:30am, Cambridge at the intersection of Yale Drive will be closed in order to cross the street with the pipe installation. The street will be closed through at least Wednesday depending on the weather.
City Utilities crews began the neighborhood improvement of installing stormwater pipe about two weeks ago in an effort to relieve flooding that had occurred near the intersection of Trinity Boulevard and Cambridge.
While Cambridge will be closed for only a few days next week, crews will continue installing pipe through other parts of the neighborhood, installing stormwater inlets on Cambridge, Stanford and Trinity, and repairing streets and sidewalks after the installation is complete. These neighborhood enhancements should be complete by the end of October.
