Lincoln Heights storm drainage improvement project YOUR STORM WATER FEES AT WORK Dear Resident, February 2013 Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services continues to analyze the existing conditions of the storm drainage system within the Lincoln Heights Storm Drainage Improvement Project. This analysis will determine areas of storm water issues and/or concerns. A public meeting will be scheduled to present the storm drainage analysis results and solicit input from project area residents. Meeting details will be mailed to you two weeks prior to the meeting. The goals of this project are to improve the storm drainage infrastructure and to reduce flooding of streets and structures in your neighborhood. The project area boundaries are Interstate 85 to the north, Interstate 77 to the east, La Salle Street to the south, and Beatties Ford Road to the west. For more information about this project, please visit our website at http://stormwater.charmeck.org and click on Storm Water Projects drop down menu in the green bar, then Active Projects and Lincoln Heights. If you have any questions, please contact Project Manager Steven McCraney at 704-432-0967 or smccraney@charlottenc.gov. It is that time of year when a chill fills the air and snow begins to fall. Sometimes, instead of snow, we get ICE. Next time the weather turns bad and your sidewalk is slick, spread sand to get a grip on that slippery walk. If bad weather strikes the area causing limbs and brush to fall, residents are encouraged to prepare debris to normal collection guidelines (limbs no longer than 5 feet in length and no wider than 4 inches in diameter). The storm debris should be taken to curbside. Do not place debris in storm drains, gutters or on creek banks.
