Command Construction crews are working on underground utilities on the corner of Gayoso and Toulouse streets in the Lafitte neighborhood. The "gray-green" infrastructure project will help to alleviate localized flooding in this area. The completed site will feature upsized drainage, urban bioswales and huge water storage facility located underneath Easton Park.
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.
