Command Construction crews are working to complete key resilience features with the addition of semipermeable sidewalks, parking areas and rain gardens in the Hagan Lafitte Drainage Project.

The $6.5 M Lakeview North Group C will begin in November with exploratory excavation and closed circuit television (CCTV) scoping of drain lines. The project will be constructed by Palmisano Construction and residents will be notified ahead of any work that will involve utility disruption and/or impact their parking and access to their streets.

Crews are continuing pavement, sidewalk, and curbing operations on North St. Patrick and North Olympia Streets on the City Park Group A  project. Additionally, drain and sewer point repair operations are scheduled this month at the 600-800 blocks of North Olympia.
