Environmental Services will repair a sag in a 350-foot section of sewer pipe in SW Terwilliger Boulevard. The repair is located west of SW Northgate Ave (east of Powers Court and west of Castleridge Lane).

Environmental Services will be constructing a project that will install and upsize public sewer pipes, as well as construct green street planters within the Buckman and Kerns neighborhoods. These improvements will increase sewer capacity, relieve sewer backups, and reduce street flooding.

N Ida Ave: Lombard to Smith is a Fixing Our Streets paving project that will resurface N Ida Avenue between N Lombard Street and N Smith Street. The project will also upgrade ADA ramps, improve crossings, and complete a small section of sidewalk infill.
