Cleveland Park Drainage and Watershed Improvement Project – Virtual Public Meeting on July 29
(Washington, DC) — The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) will host a virtual public meeting to discuss the drainage improvements and stormwater management practices that are being considered to alleviate flooding conditions on Connecticut Avenue NW at the Cleveland Park Metro Station and nearby intersections. Project staff will present the proposed improvements to the Porter-Ordway Sewershed that are based on analyses and evaluations of stormwater sewers throughout the sewershed, the sewer trunk line on Porter Street NW, and the outfall where the stormwater drains into Rock Creek. Project components include storm drain upgrades and stormwater management improvements, including detention systems, west of Connecticut Avenue NW. East of Connecticut Avenue NW, proposed improvements include a new 42-inch trunk line on Porter Street NW. The improvements are designed to maintain the current maximum stormwater runoff rate and velocity at the Rock Creek outfall. The meeting will provide an opportunity for residents to ask questions and share their concerns and desires for stormwater management improvements within the project area.
