Title, Order
Authorizing the City Manager to Sign a Drainage and Slope Easement to Access Property at 489 State Street
to Replace an Existing Culvert Under State Street and Maintain an Existing Roadside Ditch.
This Order would allow the City to replace and maintain an existing culvert under State Street at
Woodlawn Brook and maintain an existing roadside ditch and culvert.
Woodlawn Brook crosses under State Street at the base of a hill near Cascade Park. The existing 4'X4'
concrete box is of unknown age and is beginning to fail. The culvert was last repaired in 2002 before
State Street was paved. State Street is scheduled to be paved in 2021, and the culvert should be
replaced prior to paving.
The City has proposed to extend this culvert to allow for the steep slopes of the road to be lengthened
for roadway stability, eliminate the need for an existing retaining wall, and to improve the alignment of
the culvert with the existing stream flows. The southern end of the proposed culvert will extend onto
private property at 489 State Street.
This easement will also allow the City to maintain an existing roadside ditch and culvert along the
southern side of State Street which is partially on private property. The ditch and culvert serve to drain
State Street as well as a portion of the Quincy Parking Lot of Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical
Center.
The City will access the area to be repaired from the State Street right-of-way, and will restore the
property when the work has been completed.
