On November 21st, 2024, M&B was approved for a contract with Triangle Constructing L.L.C. for stormwater improvements in the Motter Ave area.
Triangle Constructing began construction on January 17, 2025.
The City has experienced multiple high-intensity storms over the past several years, resulting in localized flooding in various locations. Repeated flooding incidents have been specifically noted within the approximately 400-acre drainage basin that includes Motter Avenue and Market Street generally between 7th Street and 14th Street.
This project involves constructing a 60-inch diameter high-performance polypropylene pipe trunk line parallel to an existing 72-inch/78-inch reinforced concrete pipe main to provide additional drainage capacity in the area south of and adjacent to the YMCA.
The construction is expected to be completed by Fall 2026.
