Phase One: Phillips Park Stormwater Project

• Removed and replaced existing asphalt path from Lucina Avenue to the new stairway
• Installed underground storage to capture, hold back, and slowly release stormwater
• Shallow ditches with sides sloping towards the center, also called swales, were installed to direct rainwater to the underground storage system
• Monitors have been installed in nearby sewers and will inform future project phases to manage stormwater in this area

Phillips Park Stormwater Project Modification

• PWSA is planning to add a liner on the downhill side of the stormwater storage system and stabilize the hillside with soil nails.
• The modification project construction began on November 21, 2022. 
• Construction is expected to last 2 to 3 months, not including a break during the winter months due to low temperatures.
• The modification project is expected to be completed in spring 2023, when the weather is warm enough to allow re-paving of the asphalt trail. 
• For public safety, Dilly's Grove trail will be temporarily closed within the construction area (between Sinton Avenue and Yale Connector Trail).
