The GOALProcess Study also identifies “five high yield areas where intensive investment in GSI will have the highest rate of return on cost effectively reducing combined sewer overflows” from within the Borough. The report estimates that approximately 33% of the rainwater runoff in Millvale occurs in and around these five areas, including runoff from private properties and from the public right of way (streets and sidewalks). These areas represent opportunities for green infrastructure installations that can improve the public realm with plantings and parks. (GOALProcess Study)
main streets of Millvale’s business district (North Avenue and Grant Avenue). This will be a considerable disruption to the community, but offers the opportunity for above grade and below grade improvements such as sidewalk improvements, traffic calming and green infrastructure as well as improved communication, data, power and water infrastructure. It is estimated that the project will not begin for several years, leaving time to plan carefully and to advocate for multiple system improvements.
In addition to reducing upstream stormwater runoff, Alcosan will need to make grey infrastructure improvements to the mains that are located under the
Additionally, basement flooding reduction can lead to improved indoor air quality and reduce related health outcomes associated with mold.
