The project also includes relocating a mainline public sewer pipe from private property south of Sam Jackson Road near Duniway Park. Relocating the pipe will improve sewage flows and increase accessibility for future maintenance.
Project Area
The project is located in Duniway Park and in SW Sam Jackson Park Road just west of Duniway Park.
What's Happening Now
Work crews will periodically be in the project area to perform investigative activities. Activities include site visits and evaluation, soil sampling, survey, utility locates, pipe cleaning and inspection. Some investigative activities may require restricting parking and closing travel lanes.
Information gathered will help determine the repair locations, select construction methods, and minimize construction impacts on residents, park users, and businesses.
Duniway Park Impacts and Restoration
Sewer construction will require excavating parts of Duniway Park and the Lilac Garden. Neighbors, park users, and community groups have been asking what this means for the park and the Lilac Garden, in particular. We are working with Portland Parks & Recreation to develop plans to minimize impacts during construction and restore disturbed areas to their previous condition or better. Once more information is available, we will host a community meeting and share information online about park impacts and draft restoration plans.
