Truxtun Heights Storm Drain Project - Jun 9 2026

This City of Annapolis meeting on June 9, 2026, focused on the Truxtun Heights Storm Drain Project, a capital improvement project (CIP #430) aimed at addressing stormwater drainage issues in the neighborhood. The project is currently in the detailed design phase, with plans to bid for construction later. The estimated cost is about $1.04 million, well within the approved budget of $2.8 million. Key project elements include installing storm drains, curb and gutter, roadway widening, and upgrading a major culvert. The project also involves coordination with property owners for temporary grading easements and driveway reconstruction to city standards. Community concerns were raised about potential impacts such as street widening, parking loss, speeding, environmental effects, and tree removal. City staff emphasized efforts to minimize impacts, comply with stormwater management regulations, and maintain public right-of-way. Updated design plans are available online and will be kept current for public review. The project aims to begin construction by early summer 2027, pending final design completion and easement agreements.
