Public Works is replacing more than a mile of sewer line along Herbert Run near Southwestern Blvd. in order to improve the sanitary system by reducing water infiltration. Construction on the new interceptor replacement (begun in November 2006) will cost more than $6 million. The project, which includes three tunnels and goes under two rail lines, has been impeded by tunneling issues. It is expected to be completed in October.

Traffic Engineers from the Department of Public Works are working with three communities in the District to calm traffic. Residents on Circle Drive (ADC Map 41 K6) and on Chantilla Road (ADC Map 32 J12) applied for traffic calming measures and engineers recently drafted plans for residents' approval. In Relay, residents on Cedar Drive (ADC Map 41 J11) asked for traffic calming and plans were submitted to the community for review. They were approved last month and construction (speed humps and a raised intersection) is scheduled for the fall.
