Historically, this parking lot has had issues with both sanitary sewer overflows as well as stormwater flooding. The City's State Street/Hancock Street sewer improvement project will address the sanitary sewer overflows within Wing Park. Currently, the stormwater culvert that crosses State Street is 36"and drains to a 42" culvert that travels through hospital property and: outlets to the Penobscot River. Wright Pierce's, recent drainage analysis for the Hospital's Wing Park lot shows upsizing drainage which will result in the existing 36" culvert being a choke point for the drainage system. It should be noted that thie drainage system within the Wing Park lot is owned by the City of Bangor and provides drainage for a large portion of the neighborhoods to the north. I have provided our conceptual plan for upsizing the culvert that crosses State Street. The Engineering Department recommends installing a 5' culvert to allow for future upsizing of the system to the south. I do not anticipate however, that this will happen in the near future. We estimate the cost of upsizing this culvert will be about $550,0010. Where this project was not anticipated, it was not included in the City's budget for fiscal! year 2022. The Engineering Department requests that we allocate funding from available funds within the Storm,water Utility to pay for this stormwater improvement. We recommend that this work be completed this fall or early spring of 2022 in order to be completed prior to the City's Pavement project for State Street. That paving project will be completed next summer and include State Street from Broadway to Hogan Road. I look forward to discussing this subject with you at the September 8, 2021 Infrastructure Meeting. Sincerely,-.
