Riverview Park is a city park located in the Perry North neighborhood. This project will use green stormwater infrastructure and tree plantings in the park to capture rainwater runoff.
Progress & Status
Phase One: Riverview Avenue
- Rain garden installations along Riverview Avenue.
- These improvements will reduce park flooding, erosion, and combined sewer overflows to the Ohio River.
- Construction of the rain gardens began in October 2019.
Landslide Remediation Project
- Winter of 2019-2020: A landslide occurred on the hillside above the recently constructed Horseshoe Bend rain garden. Given the impacts on the rain garden, PWSA began designing plans to stabilize the landslide and repair the rain garden.
- August 2021: PWSA received construction funding approval from the PWSA Board of Directors.
- September 2021: Our contractor Eisler Landscapes began construction at Horseshoe Bend. The remediation work included stabilizing the hillside above the rain garden and restoring the drainage channel and rain garden that were clogged by the landslide.
- Winter 2021-2022: The landslide restoration and plantings of the vegetated areas were completed. Please be patient while the new plantings grow in.
Financial Partners
- This project is partially funded by ALCOSAN’s GROW grant program.
