St. Augustine Beach Flood Reduction - 7th, 8th, and 9th Street Drainage
UPDATED 04/20/2024
SCOPE OF WORK
The 7th 8th & 9th Street Drainage project consists of drainage improvements to 7th, 8th, and 9th Streets west of 2nd Avenue to alleviate recurrent flooding and reduce the potential for flood related losses. This project will also ensure adequate drainage conveyance to the City's master stormwater drainage system, located at the west end of the project site. This project will consist of the design, permitting, and construction of as-necessary drainage improvements that may include drainage structures, piping, swale construction, curb and gutter, and road improvements to reduce the frequency and severity of flooding within the project area.
A Town Hall meeting was held on November 2, 2023. See below files for meeting agenda and minutes/notes.
