Manager Outlines a Full Plan for Belle Ave Flooding Mitigation
Belle Avenue’s residents who have battled flooding in their streets and homes for decades have recently implored Town officials to provide a complete report on what are the concrete steps required to achieve full mitigation of the extreme effects of the more frequent heavy rain events hitting this neighborhood. The reported disruptions and cleanup and replacement costs to residents in this neighborhood are staggering.
At the September 24 Council meeting, new Township Manager, Jaclyn Hashmat, presented a solid analysis of 1) the recent history of the Town’s efforts and 2) a detailed plan – including an excellent project management timeline – of where we are in the several mitigation processes and estimates of when they will finally lead to the construction of nearby bioswales and retention tanks under Sagamore Park that should bring an overdue end to this situation.
