The Lawn and Ophelia Parklet is a city-owned park located in the South Oakland neighborhood of Pittsburgh. This stormwater project will help to manage 1.5 inches of rain from 1.86 acres of impervious surface.
Progress & Status
After conducting an internal review of an earlier design for this project, we are beginning the planning process with a new, more cost-effective concept to manage stormwater. The revised design includes:
- Drainage improvements in the right-of-way of Lawn and Ophelia streets
- A rain garden located within the parklette
- Subsurface stormwater detention beneath the rain garden
- Landscaping
- Alternate surface path
