Site work for a water / sewer project in Tallahassee, Florida. Conceptual plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

This project provides funding for the design and construction of infrastructure upgrades to address flooding in the area surrounding Gwen Street. The City has documented incidents of flooding along Gwen Street, Harper Street, Pine Street, Hunter Street, and Colonial Drive. In 2015 Genesis Group completed a drainage study identifying deficiencies in the area and potential alternatives to decrease flooding. In FY 2020 City Stormwater staff were able to update the study with more recent rainfall data. Due to concerns of unreported flooding in the area additional updates to the model to include a 2D overland flow element were made. City staff updated and improved upon conceptual design alternatives to include upstream infrastructure upgrades and stormwater management facilities. Multiple parcels in the lower portion of the drainage basin have been acquired by developers, who are currently in the process of developing these parcels (including completed construction at the intersection of Pine and Gwen Street) with duplexes and triplexes. Per the Land Development Code these developments do not require and Environmental Management Permit or the construction of stormwater management facilities, allowing the discharge of runoff from sites directly into the roadway. This project is in included in the City of Tallahassee FY 2022-2026 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). As of February 9, 2022, further details regarding design and construction have not been identified. *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.
