Park Avenue Ditch Embankment Protection

The Park Avenue ditch stabilization project addressed erosion and improved maintenance access along the Park Avenue drainage ditch, starting just east of the Redwood Drive/Inglewood Drive intersection and ending just east of the Blair Stone Road Bridge. Erosion of the ditch underneath Blair Stone Road Bridge had caused steep side slopes and deep drop-offs and restricted access to maintenance trucks. At the start of the ditch, east of the Redwood Drive/Inglewood Drive intersection, fencing, and a sewer manhole restricted access to maintenance trucks. To address these issues, the existing eroded ditch under the Blair Stone Bridge was replaced with a gabion-lined channel. Maintenance access was improved on the north side of the ditch by modifying existing fencing, sewer manholes, and re-grading slopes underneath the Blair Stone Bridge.
