King/Callahan/Russelll – The City has alerted us that the long-planned reconfiguration of the intersection has been further delayed by the need to have Dominion relocate electrical poles; construction is now not likely to start until winter or spring. For more information, please visit https://www.alexandriava.gov/localmotion/info/default.aspx?id=77933.
Sewer Inspections – As of June 30, the City reported that it had inspected 37% of the sewers in the Del Ray, Rosemont, and Lynhaven neighborhoods, with rehabilitation of sewers identified as deficient to follow the inspection program. This program is separate from the City’s ongoing stormwater management program and projects to address flooding. For more information, please visit https://www.alexandriava.gov/Sewers#SanitarySewerAssetRenewalProgram.
Flood Mitigation Grants – On August 15, the City will start accepting applications for matching reimbursement grants by property owners who have installed flood mitigation measures on properties impacted by flooding from recent flash flooding events. A virtual information session will be held on August 10. For more information, please visit https://www.alexandriava.gov/tes/stormwater/info/default.aspx?id=121974.
