Acceptance of the Drainage Advisory Committee’s recommendation to approve expenditure of 2018 General Obligation (GO) Bond, Proposition 6 funds to design improvements to the retaining wall holding back a private pond on Aspen Avenue between New Orleans Street and Florence Avenue
End
Background:
The case was brought before the Drainage Advisory Committee on October 28, 2024. The Committee voted 7-0 to recommend approval of expenditure of funds.
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.
The estimated design cost to engineer drainage improvements is $100,000 in 2024 Dollars.
This flows into Aspen Creek.
Cost: $100,000.00
Funding Source: 2018 General Obligation Bond, Proposition 6
