Recommended Drainage Projects by Ward
Ward 1
13"' and Gaines Streets: Project is located adjacent to the Philander Smith
College campus and includes the replacement and extension of an existing
undersized clay pipe that discharges stormwater into the gutter of the street
where it flows overland to another system a block north. This drainage issue is
contributing to flooding issues on the college campus. The project would replace
the undersized pipe and extend the system to connect to the system downstream
keeping the water collected underground.
1000 Allis Street: The street and yards in the vicinity of 1000 Allis Street
regularly flood during rain events due to a lack of drainage conveyance in the
area. The project will install 580 feet of eighteen (18) and twenty -four (24) -inch
diameter drainage pipe with catch basins to drain Allis Street to the west to a
major storm drainage system. To facilitate construction, the project includes the
acquisition of new drainage easements across private property from Allis to
Brown Street.
Wright Avenue: The existing drainage pipe between State and Gaines Streets
is undersized and has multiple failures along its length. Replacement of the pipe
is necessary to oliminate a continuing maintenance issue and flooding concern
from the failed pipe system.
Ward 2
Wlndamere Drive: The street and yards in the vicinity of Windamere Drive
regularly flood leaving standing water in a large area. There is a history of
complaints from residents along this street and the surrounding streets about
standing water, swampy ground, and mosquitoes. The project will provide
improvements to the open channel ditches downstream from the street along
with improvements to the existing drains on the street to properly drain the street
and surrounding yards.
Walpole Drive: The street and yards in the vicinity of the 8500 Block of Walpole
Drive regularly floods and leaves standing water in a large area. There is a
history of complaints from residents along Walpole Drive and Chaucer Streets
about the standing water, swampy ground, and mosquitoes. The project will
install 370 feet of fifteen (15) -inch diameter storm sewer pipe in the right -of -way
of Walpole Drive to properly drain the street and surrounding yards.

Ward 3
Beachwood Channel: The failure of a concrete box culvert at 2000 Beechwood
led to area flooding and the damage of the residential building at the location.
The project includes the removal of the remaining damaged ;lox culvert, the re-
grading of the property to create a concrete open channel to convey the runoff
entering to the site to the downstream drainage system.
Ward 4
Surnmerdalc Lane: At the end of Summerdale Lane, the current open ditch
along the south side of the road directs water across the street surface to the
larger channel on the north side of the road. This causes damage to the
pavement surface leading to continued request for repair. The proposed repair
would include the construction of a new inlet to collect the water from the ditch
and a new pipe under the road to convey the runoff to the larger channel.
Hinson Road: At the intersection of Hinson Road and Carmel Drive, the
existing corrugated metal pipes under Hinson Road have deteriorated and
collapsed requiring the closing of lanes on Hinson Road to vehicular traffic. The
project will replace the collapsed metal culverts with new concrete pipes.
Ward 5
Westchester Berm: Recurring flooding in the Westchester Subdivision has
occurred due to stormwater runoff from upstream. The project will construct a
berm and grade the area upstream of the subdivision to direct runoff to the
highway system along Arkansas Highway 10. The proposed work has been
approved by the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department and their
system is adequate to handle the increased flow,.
Chevaux Court: Flooding of residential homes occurs in two (2) different areas
of this subdivision. The project consists of constructing drainage overflow
pathways to provide a way for flows in excess of those underground systems
capacity to exit the subdivision without causing damage to homes and to prevent
ponding in yards.
Ward 6
Sunnymeade Drive: Continuous drainage issues occur along both sides of
Sunnymeade Drive from the intersection with Carpenter Drive to the south end of
the street. The project would include reworking drainage paths and installing
new inlets and pipes to convey the runoff to the existing drainage channel,

[PAGE 5 OF 61
44th & Potter Streets: The intersection of 44!h and Potter Streets has open
ditches with some of these filled in with pipes and backffl. The culverts currently
in place are substandard and undersized creasing a flooding issue at the
properties located at the intersection. The project will include the removal of the
undersized pipes and replacing them with larger ones. This will alleviate the
flooding currently occurring.
Ward 7
Chicot Road: Close to the intersection of Chicot and Bunch Roads, the existing
pipes under Chicot Road have separated creating sinkholes. The project will
replace the culverts with new concrete pipes eliminating future lane repair and
closure and pipe repair at this location,
Angell Court: Ofisite drainage entering the Angel Court Subdivision cannot
adequately enter the storm drain system in place leading to the ponding of water
in yards. The project will extend the existing system to the area of flooding and
provide an improved point of collection to convey the runoff into the system.
