Thomasboro Hoskins Neighborhood
Improvement Projects
...part of the 2000 & 2004 Neighborhood Improvement Bonds
City staff from the Neighborhood Development Department held a meeting on
January 6, 2006 to give an update on the Thomasboro Hoskins Improvements.
Below is an update on Phases 2, 3, & 4. Please contact the appropriate staff on
the right hand side of this newsletter for questions or more information on each
phase.
Phase 2 - Hoskins Neighborhood Area
City and contractor staff continue to construct infrastructure and storm drainage
improvements in your neighborhood. These improvements are part of Phase
2 of the Thomasboro Hoskins Neighborhood Improvement project and are
scheduled to be complete by the end of June 2006.
Phase 3 - Glenwood Neighborhood Area and Tillman Branch Storm Water Project
Phase 3, the Glenwood Neighborhood Improvement Project (which also includes
the Tillman Branch Storm Water Improvement project), is the next phase of
construction. Funding for the construction of the Neighborhood portion will be
included in a future Neighborhood Improvement Bond, possible in November
2006. Charlotte Storm Water Services continues to research alternatives for the
Tillman Branch Storm Water Improvement project.
Phase 4 - Bradford Neighborhood Area and Westridge Storm Water Project
Charlotte Storm Water Services (CSWS) is completing the investigation of
the existing storm drainage system in the vicinity of the Westridge area. The
purpose of the investigation was to decide if the storm drainage system needs in
the area should be addressed in conjunction with Phase IV of the Thomasboro/
Hoskins Neighborhood Improvement Project (Bradford NIP).
CSWS has completed the majority of the storm drainage system analysis. The
analysis indicates that some sections of the drainage system are undersized and
showing some signs of structural weakness. However, since the Bradford NIP
has been placed on hold, CSWS has concluded that the Westridge area should
be addressed through the Storm Water Capital Improvement Program.
The Storm Water Capital Improvement Program ranks projects based on severity
of flooding and potential for public safety impacts. Neighborhoods with severe
and dangerous flooding are addressed first. At this time, we have identified
more than 90 projects that will take at least 10 years to resolve. In order to
determine the Capital Improvement project schedule, CSWS will compare the
Westridge area needs with other areas of Charlotte. Annual funding levels will
also affect the project schedule.
