The Town has been monitoring the storm sewer behind the Points West building on 99th Street (River Road) which has failed and requires repair.
After several years of assessment, design work, and budget approval, a contractor has now been secured and preparations are underway to begin construction. This project will repair the storm drain, reconstruct the impacted roadway, and reinforce the slope below 101 Street, restoring full two-way traffic access and ensuring the long-term integrity and safety of the street.
