Lynnhaven Colony, Cape Story by the Sea, and Cape Henry November/December 2009 Flooding
During the November and December 2009 northeasters, extreme flooding due to abnormally high storm tides and heavy rainfall occurred which impacted the Lynnhaven Colony, Cape Story by the Sea, and Cape Henry neighborhoods, among others. The City of Virginia Beach commissioned a study of these occurrences and the Draft report from Parsons Brinckerhoff was received and made available for Citizen Input. The Final Report, dated September 2010, may be viewed by clicking below.
Outfall pipes at First Landing Beach have been cleaned. The french drain along Calvert Street near the bay is scheduled for cleaning, as well as the ditch just east of First Landing Lane, along Cape Henry Trail.
Construction drawings are being prepared for storm drainage piping along Poinciana Drive from Maple Street to Sandalwood Road. When the drawings are 60% complete, they will be presented to the public for review and comments. Construction and maintenance are planned for Poinciana Drive and along the Cape Henry Trail in Fall 2011.
