Consideration, discussion and possible action to recommend to City Council to expend funds to design improvements to the retaining wall holding back a private pond on Aspen Avenue between New Orleans Street and Florence Avenue (Case No. 24-014)
End
Background:
The proposed project is to investigate and design improvements to the City owned retaining wall that holds back an existing private pond on Aspen Ave. between New Orleans St. and Florence Ave.
Staff investigated the site and found that the slope behind the wall was highly saturated and has started sloughing off into the pond. An existing sheet pile wall is approximately 2 ft behind the retaining wall and installed at the same time as the wall. City staff believes the sheet pile wall could be damaged or corroded causing the leaking at the base of the retaining wall.
The water and sediment on the sidewalk and road could create a slip hazard for the public, especially during winter months.
Staff is requesting $100,000.00 of the 2018 General Obligation Bond Proposition 6 funds for the design costs.
Cost: $100,000.00
Funding Source: 2018 General Obligation Bond, Proposition 6
