Flood Mitigation (Street Raising) Project Update

I received the following email from Dan Mundy of the Civic Association late last night......


Spoke with Maura McCarthy today --I had previously sent her an email asking that she give me an update as to where we were with the street raising project and she called me today to report that :

-  95.5% of the residents on West 11th,12th and 13th roads (the initial three blocks) had returned their waivers and were in support of the project moving forward. This is real progress and critical to the project and confirms the communities support to see this plan enacted. 

-  She has a meeting with DEP to discuss their  input on the plan regarding the water drainage system. This meeting should take place within the next two weeks to ensure that they are in agreement with the current proposal.

- She will contact me by the end of the month at which time she will have received DEP input and will be able to address the issue of where we are regarding a timetable. It appears that due to the storm and its affects on all of the agencies that we have been pushed back somewhat. At that time she will also be able to speak to where they are regarding the necessary DEC permits.

For the record.....

There will have to be a real conversation regarding any "timetable" for this project in light of the ongoing restoration efforts of those homes damaged by the October 29th storm surge.

Presently the majority of West 12th Road residents are displaced (only six homes occupied on West 12th Road) with construction ongoing at some. The remaining are dealing with  FEMA and/or their respective insurance companies in an effort to finally obtain funds for the required restoration.

Although construction of the end of street bulkheads could possibly be undertaken this spring/summer, the amount of work left to be done to make resident homes habitable again would preclude the street raising from starting until all these repairs are completed.

We will start to canvass all W12th Road home owners in an effort to ascertain a realistic projection of home repair completion and will pass that on to Commissioner McCarthy when we obtain it.

    I think anyone who will be reconstructing/repairing their home on the 3 blocks to be raised will gladly work w/DDC or whoever is over-seeing this project for it to begin. We need the streets to be raised just as much as we need to get back into our homes. Please, let's not delay either side of this.
