Project Overview
The Edwin – Celia – Canterbury Stormwater Improvements Project addresses recurring roadway and property flooding in the Edwin Place, Celia Place, Sunset Parkway, and Canterbury Road area. The project replaces aging stormwater infrastructure that no longer meets current capacity needs and poses risks to public safety, historic structures, and property.
Project goals include:
- Reducing roadway flooding and protecting historic properties.
- Reducing downstream flooding and erosion.
- Preserving the historic and community character of the neighborhood.
- Improving overall water quality.
The proposed improvements combine upgraded stormwater pipes and culverts with new storage features, such as a restored natural stream and wetlands at Grove Park and a natural earthen berm at Sunset Parkway, to reduce local flooding while managing downstream impacts.
