Parkwood Area Stormwater Project

Top & Two sides of the pre-cast structure which will become the catch basin 09/11	September 2011 Update! Crews are installing the first catch basin between 2712 and 2710 Northwoods Drive. This catch basin serves as a resevoir for collection surface drainage and runoff, and asllows a change in direction of the storm drainage pipes.
Two 48" drainage pipes which will connect to the new catch basin 09/11	The City of Jacksonville Parkwood Stormwater Project is underway and is designed to address the drainage issues affecting the Parkwood area. Construction crews will work to  install stormwater head wall and pipe systems as well as clear and widen existing channels. Project construction is scheduled to begin March, 2011 with a projected timeline of up two years to complete. (Click on map above for larger view).
Bottom pre-cast structre which will become catch basin 09/11	The area is a 64-acre watershed primarily built-out and has a history of structure, roadway, and yard flooding. A two year drainage study completed in 2009 provided recommendations to upgrade the existing system. This project consists of sub-systems and improvements that will be constructed downstream to upstream to ensure downstream systems are sized appropriately for the increased storm flows.

Project Updates - March 2011

March 2011 - The City of Jacksonville is gearing up for phase 1 of the 7 phase project. Areas under construction may have excavations up to 10ft in depth and 20ft in width to allow for proper installment and widening efforts.  New pipe systems (3.5 to 4ft in diameter) will be installed in pairs along the project path.

Outfall – The outfall is where water exits the stormwater system and enters a stream or other body of water. Adjustments and bank stabilization will be made for the existing receiving stream, twin pipes between 2710 and 2712 Northwoods Drive extending up Northwoods Drive to Ramona Avenue to help collect runoff from the entire Parkwood watershed. 

Northwoods Drive – New pipe system installation  
Expected result - to pick up the Marlo Circle area and relieve pressure on the backyard channels and the existing system along Northwoods Drive. This new pipe system will tie directly into the new outfall. 

Ramona Avenue – New twin pipe installation  
Expected result -  To collect stormwater runoff from the David Place, Clifton Road, and Ramona Avenue sub-systems and convey it to the new outfall and collect from the existing channelized backyard system. 

Clifton Road – New twin pipe installation 
Expected result - collection points from the existing backyard system. These pipes will also collect stormwater from a new pipe and drop inlets that will be installed along Janie Avenue.

David Place – Clearing and widening of existing channel
Expected result - Initial base flow of water will continue through the existing system; overflow will be directed to a new pipe system via the installation of a new headwall and stormwater pipes leading to a new system at Clifton Road.
