BrykerWoods Neighborhood

Shoal Creek Wastewater Improvements Project (archived content)

Residents and property owners living near and on West 32nd Street, West 33rd Street, Churchill and Kerbey Lane will experience construction of a replacement wastewater line in their streets during the summer. This project is necessary to eliminate sewer overflows, and is one of about 00 wastewater construction projects taking place citywide. Construction is taking place on the Bryker Woods neighborhood part of the project during the 2005 summer break to prevent disruption of Bryker Woods Elementary School personnel, students and parents. The contractor will begin to mobilize after Memorial Day (May 30) with intent to conclude (except for final street repairs) before school begins in mid August. The construction of the replacement wastewater line includes reconnection of residents’ home services to the replacement line in the street. Residents will be able to enter and exit their driveways during construction but through traffic will be diverted. Streets and driveways will be accessible to emergency vehicles and trash pick-up will continue as normally scheduled. Full road closures with detours will be necessary as part of the traffic plan in addition to some opportunities to use only partial lane closures as sewer lines are replaced. Construction activities will move from block to block so that road closures do not impact the entire street.

Some deatils outilned for the Shoal Creek WW Improvements 29th Street, 32nd Street, 33rd Street/Churchill Drive/Seton

Install a new 12-inch wastewater line in 34th Street that will accommodate the expansion at Seton Hospital. Work will begin in spring 2004 at West 34th Street.
Replace existing sewers on 32nd Street, Churchill, 33rd Street. This includes creekbank improvements and reconstruction of the west trail pavement, and at the request of Parks and Recreation Department (PARD), it features construction of a new pedestrian creek crossing south of West 34th Street.

Install an 8-inch wastewater line that serves the area west of Shoal Creek, south of 29th St. This improvement will enable the City to take the existing line out of the creek. The installation of this line will impact the existing creek-side trail, so the trail will be rebuilt with an improved long-life surface.
