Request For Drainage Improvements »

A letter was received in the Engineering Dept. frorn a resident at 2885 Rosewood
Cres. requesting that the City clear up 4 drainage problem at this address. The
reason for the request is because large puddles are collecting at various spots along
Rosewood Cres., particularly in front of the above address.

Existing Road Conditions

This subdivision off of Birchland is approx. 30 years old, The roads and extruded
curbs are in good condition, however, in some places where the curb meets the
road the road has settled over the years creating an uneven surface along the curb
edge. This is where the water collects forming large puddles that do not drain
away.

Other Road Improvements Along Rosewood

A similar complaint of drainage problems was made by the homeowner at 2890
Rosewood Cres, The solution in this case is installation of a catch basin. Since it
is across the street to the present situation, this catch basin will not help drain the
water in front of 2885. Catchbasins at every low point on the road would be an
expensive alternative.

Solutions

1) By aseries of aphalt skin patches the road can be "smoothed out" and the water
forced to drain into the existing CB’s. There are approx. four places where this
will be effective. (See map for locations.) In conjunction with this solution, the
lips of the existing CB’s would have to be shaved down to allow the water to flow
once the skin patches are on.
