Command Construction Industries, LLC crews have completed excavating Easton Park (pictured) in preparation for installing underground storage in early April. The recent storm activity inundated the excavated park with water - which has subsequently delayed the installation of underground storage.
Public safety is our priority; the park and adjacent facilities will remain closed until work is complete. The approximately $7.3M project was designed by Stantec and is scheduled to last for approximately 17 months.
In addition to underground storage at Easton Park, the scope of work calls for new utilities and pipes, new pavement and new landscaping in rain gardens along St. Peter, Toulouse,
N. Rendon, N. Lopez, N. Gayoso and N. White streets. Intermittent block and lane closures should be anticipated.
The goals for the project include:
- Increasing drainage to reduce flooding;
- Utilizing green infrastructure to slow, retain, and absorb storm water;
- Beautifying with green areas;
- Replenishing groundwater; and
- Storing rainwater underground.
