The $15M Pontilly Neighborhood Storm water Network project includes an array of storm water interventions such as bioswales and street basins, all designed to reduce flood risks. Fleming Construction Company, LLC broke ground on Monday, March 18, 2019.
Protection of the trees that beautifully proliferate Pontchartrain Park is an essential component in the preparation of the construction of this project. Fleming crews and Twin Shores Landscape & Construction Services, Inc. are in the process of performing tree assements along the Mirabeau corridor to identify the need for any remediaton / treatment and ensure tree integrity and preservation.
Crews will then begin with saw cutting the existing asphalt street on Mirabeau Avenue in the April timeframe. The temporary job trailer and staging area will be located in the median between Emmett Bashful Boulevard and Press Drive.
A pre-construction community meeting was held in February at Mary D. Coghill elementary school; construction is scheduled to begin March 2019. View the preconstruction public meeting presentation here.
