There are five phases to the Wightman Park Stormwater Project. It will begin at the Solway and Negley and continue eastward to the intersection of Murray and Solway.

On Tuesday, February 23rd, we hosted a project update meeting about the second phase of the Wightman Park Stormwater Project. Construction of new stormwater infrastructure will begin this spring to direct stormwater to the recently completed improvements in Wightman Park. 

Construction will begin at Wightman and Solway and will continue eastward ending at the intersection of Murray and Solway. The project will be constructed in five phases and is anticipated to be completed by the end of the year.

The stormwater improvements include a network of “green streets” on portions of Wightman Street, Woodmont Street, Negley Avenue, Solway Street, and Murray Avenue that will capture and direct stormwater to the park while also enhancing pedestrian safety at intersections. The retrofits include the addition of curbed stormwater “bumpout” planters at intersections, channel drains that convey stormwater under the street between planters, and upgraded sewer inlets.
