After conducting an internal review of an earlier design for this project, we completed the planning process with a new, more cost-effective concept to manage stormwater.

Design Components: 

• A rain garden with underground stormwater detention (storage) in the parklet
• Landscaping and additional trees
• A surface path and seating blocks in the parklet 
• A crosswalk at the intersection of Lawn and Ophelia streets
• Drainage improvements in the public right-of-way on Lawn and Ophelia streets

Construction Updates*

• Please Note: Water main replacement and lead service line replacement work on Ophelia Street between Hamlet Street and Craft Place is part of a separate PWSA construction project. More information is available on the project webpage.
• Week of November 28: Continue cleaning up the construction site. The Department of Mobility and Infrastructure (DOMI) contractor completed the paving of Lawn Street and Ophelia Street next to the parklet. 
• Week of December 5: Continue cleaning up and restoring the construction site.
• The line painting contractor is scheduled to paint the crosswalk lines at the intersection of Lawn and Ophelia streets in spring 2023. 

*Schedule could change due to weather, unforeseen site conditions, etc.
