Improvements to the storm drainage system within the central Chandler area are needed to provide for increased flood control and efficiency. Such improvements are detailed in the 2006 Stormwater Master Plan Update and the Downtown Chandler Drainage Improvements Candidate Assessment Report (CAR) completed in June 2010. Improvements include the installation of approximately 1,000 linear feet of 36" storm drain pipe along Galveston Street from Hamilton Street to Exeter Street, and 1,000 linear feet of 42" storm drain pipe along Erie Street from Hamilton Street to Exeter Street. These drains will drain into the existing Detroit Basin (Gazelle Meadows Park) at Exeter Street. In addition, approximately 1,500 linear feet of 36" storm drain is needed from Ivanhoe Street south to Galveston Street along the east side of the railroad tracks and will empty into the Detroit Basin. Approximately 1,500 linear feet of new 48" storm drain pipe will originate at the southwest corner of the Detroit Basin and connect to the existing Chandler Boulevard storm drain. The project was selected as a recommended project via the Flood Control District of Maricopa County (FCDMC) Capital Improvement Program Prioritization process in 2008, with a 50/50 cost sharing. As of June 9, 2022, this project is included in the City of Chandler's FY 2022-2031 CIP. Project is under design. Information regarding a design team and the contractor selection has not been disclosed. Although a firm timeline for construction has not been determined, construction is not expected to start prior to fiscal year 2022-2023 and 2023-2024. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change. The content management team will continue to pursue additional details as they become available.
