We <br /> understand the City will/ may also be undertaking a Traffic Study, which will include looking <br /> at the geometrics (i.e. need for turn lanes)and control ("Stop" configurations) of this <br /> intersection. <br /> We will discuss with the City should the Traffic Study present something significantly <br /> different than the effort we are anticipating in this proposal. <br /> Storm Drainage: <br /> Collecting and infiltrating /treating storm drainage presents challenging decisions on this <br /> project. <br /> Our proposal is based on making grades and slopes work such that we will be able to direct <br /> the storm drainage from the southerly two blocks through the northerly finro blocks and then <br /> to the east`behind' the water treatment plant to an existing low area on City property for <br /> infiltrating. This low area will need to be excavated to provide more volume. Using property <br /> the City already owns will help in the economics of handling stormwater. <br /> f:n��inr�nn� Ai�huc�tinr Sune�in�� En�uunmental <br />
