Public Meeting on Drainage Improvements Around Les Lacs Neighborhood Scheduled for November 16

The Town's project team is hosting a public kick-off meeting at 6pm on Wednesday, November 16 at the Addison Athletic Club to answer questions about the Rawhide Creek Drainage Improvement Project planned around the Les Lacs Neighborhood. The team will discuss the project's scope, show exhibits of the proposed work, and describe what can be expected during construction which is slated to begin at the end of November.

The Storm Drainage System Assessment and Capital Improvement Program prepared for the Town of Addison by Halff Associates in August 2017 identified improvements needed in the Rawhide Creek Drainage Basin. The City Council approved a construction contract with Texas Standard at its October 25 meeting for paving, ADA improvements, storm drainage improvements, utility adjustments, and landscaping along the residential streets of Waterside Court, Waterford Drive, Les Lacs Avenue, Beau Park Lane, and Brookwood Lane. The drainage improvements will follow the Brookwood Lane Connector to Les Lacs Linear Park Trail south from Brookwood Lane and run west along the linear park connecting to the existing storm drain system at Marsh Lane.

Residents in the area can expect to see the contractor performing limited excavation to verify the location of existing utilities the week of November 14 and major construction activities to begin the week of November 28. Construction is expected to take 10 months to complete.
