Same. Listening off camera.

When you say design complete - that means Construction won’t start until 2025, or does “Design complete mean project complete?

Can you give a quick overview of what changed in the project scope by combining the top two capacity projects?

Yes, these are major projects and the design phase takes some time. 2025 is the estimated time when construction will begin

We wanted to ask why Ashby St vanished from list of spot projects in last couple of city meetings slides. Is it because you have determined that Ashby St is better served by a Big project?

When do we expect to break ground for project #1 and #2

thank you

In regards to managing impact and evaluation of community impact, where is cessation of additional removal of green space like Potomac yard condos and parking lots?

Understand not specific to our community and neighborhood but wanted to ask. Thank you.

How much more capacity should they capture?

Is there an estimate?

Ok well the manhole outside my house was four feet in the air —

At the end of manning and commowealth :(

So won’t help our basement flooding

Giant underground barrels!

The Commonwealth interceptor runs behind our house and is usually over capacity. I believe the interceptor in the alleyway is a 54inch concrete pipe

If we know that inlets upgrades won’t help in areas where manhole covers pop off, it seems odd that part of the plan is to increase the inlets outside my house right in front of the manhole cover that regularly pops off. :(

The issue is we don’t flood during the smaller storms. It’s the 10 year + that are a problem

Which are now every 10 months

Good point Katie. Would be good to know which manhole it is if Betsy could let us know.

The Rio Manning!

A green alley at the end of the street sounds lovely, but what about all of the homes that are further upstream from the "green alley"? Also, we already have a back flow preventer and have still gotten storm flooding and sewer flooding

So 2025-2026 at the earliest for the alley

I have the video of it which I’m happy to share

We will share these slides and Zoom recording so you have them after the meeting.

Engineer: it’s true.

Thanks Jessica. I was going to ask you about the slides. Appreciate it.

Our the flooding usually starts after the rain stops - and rain sits in the basement for an hour or so and suddenly drains - so it seems like a valve is turned off and on

One final question could you speak to Congressman Don Beyer's funding request - it's specific location (alleyway between Clifford and Hume?), what the project is and where the project stands when the funding request was denied?

Hey Katie. Unfortunately, we did not get the federal funding through Beyer's office. It was generally for this area. We will continue to pursue work in this area.

Ours is coming up from the drains

I appreciate the time you’ve all spent and your intent to share as much as you can. I remain super anxious about continuing to live in my house with substantial fixes being realistically four years away. :( But thank you all for the input and information -

Can we file more than one claim in the pilot program? If the original claim doesn't meet the $5,000 cap

I have the same question

Anyone have good plumber recomme

recommendations

I'll send you a rec. Val

be careful on your insurance claims, neighbors. Mine cancelled me after two claims :(

Take the $5k!

My flood insurance from FEMA was pretty useless

floodgrant@alexandriava.gov

Appreciate all of your hard work, initiatives and continued communication with us. Thanks!

That also can become a problem with the mortgage company

It is a huge financial risk for homeowners.

Unfortunately a 4 year timeline is too long.

We had the same problem after our second flood claim. I sent the insurance company a picture of our new flood wall and they still would not do business with us

Standard homeowners insurance

My insurance covered my claim and agreed it was part of my policy— and then after the fact cancelled me with no warning.

I have to jump. Thanks everyone

Thank you for this meeting. I need to depart. -Roel, 3041 Manning.

The city shouldn’t be recommending it

We need to hop off. THank you for all of your time.

Two hands

Thanks again for all of your time and efforts, we really appreciate you and the updates.

We're looking at the area and will have more, additional ideas for the area well beyond the inlet work.

thank you all for everything!

Thank you!

thanks very much!

Thank you!!
