This project includes installing a new stormwater pipe that will convey stormwater flows from the neighborhoods to the southeast of City Park. The system will ultimately connect to the stormwater system at City Park Golf Course.

The original storm sewers in East 16th Avenue and Batavia Place were undersized and unable to adequately convey stormwater flows, resulting in frequent and significant flooding in the South Park Hill neighborhood. As the lead designer, Muller is working to increase the size of stormwater pipes that run east/west through the neighborhood and to City Park, allowing a larger amount of stormwater to be collected and carried. This will improve safety and reduce flood risks in the South Park Hill neighborhood, safely transporting the flows from existing systems in Colfax Avenue and East 16th Avenue toward City Park, while picking up the local flows along the way.

In addition to the storm pipe, work includes roadway reconfiguration and traffic signal changes at the intersection of East 17th Avenue and Colorado Boulevard, as well as safer crossings for pedestrians and cyclists. One of Denver’s 24-inch sanitary sewer mains was also replaced.
