M a r g a r e t Tu r n e r R o a d storm drainage improvement project YOUR STORM WATER FEES AT WORK April 2015 Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services and consulting engineer, The Isaacs Group, continue to work through the planning phase. The Isaacs Group is finalizing the selected design alternative. Once complete, staff can review. A public meeting will be held this summer to discuss the alternative with residents. Meeting invitations will be mailed to residents two weeks in advance. This project focuses on the storm drainage issues within the Oakdale Crossing neighborhood along Margaret Turner Road. The project will also analyze the downstream channel that flows from Margaret Turner Road, north toward Gum Branch.

They reduce property loss from erosion, support fish and wildlife, and improve water quality. If my property is eroding, what can I do? • Plant native bushes and trees! • Leave grass unmowed. • Keep herbicides away.
